Parking Garage Bird Droppings & Nesting Control
Bird Droppings in Parking Garages Won’t Stop Without Blocking Access
If birds are roosting in your parking garage, you’re likely dealing with constant droppings, slippery surfaces, and ongoing cleanup that never seems to fix the problem.
Parking garages create the perfect environment for birds. They’re covered, elevated, and protected—exactly what birds look for when choosing a place to roost and nest.
The Problem: Why It Keeps Coming Back
Common Areas Birds Use in Parking Garages

Most facilities try:
- pressure washing
- regular cleanup
- spikes or deterrents
But the problem doesn’t go away.
👉 That’s because the birds still have access to the structure.
As long as birds can reach beams, pipes, ledges, and overhead areas inside the garage, they will continue to return—and the mess will continue.

Birds typically roost and nest in:
- overhead beams and support structures
- exposed piping and conduit
- upper levels and corners
- entry and exit openings
- ledges and signage inside the garage
If they can land there, they will.
The Real Issue: Access

The Solution: Block Access to Stop the Problem
Bird problems in parking garages are not a cleaning issue.
👉 They are an access issue.
Cleaning removes the mess temporarily—but it does nothing to stop birds from coming back.
Deterrents may slow them down, but they rarely solve the problem completely.
The Solution: Block Access to Stop the Problem
The Solution: Block Access to Stop the Problem
The only way to stop birds from roosting in a parking garage is to block access to the areas they use.
This is typically done with:
- bird netting systems to enclose overhead areas
- structural exclusion to seal off entry points
- targeted modifications to prevent landing and nesting
Once access is removed:
👉 the birds leave
👉 the mess stops

Every parking structure is designed differently.
The most effective bird control solution depends on the layout of beams, ledges, and structural framing.
Midwest Bird Control provides inspection and installation of bird exclusion systems for commercial properties across the Midwest.
An inspection allows us to identify nesting areas and recommend the most effective long-term solution.
