When birds fly into a commercial facility, it’s easy to assume they’ll find their way out. But when they don’t—and especially when they stick around—businesses can face serious consequences ranging from health risks to failed inspections. So, how do you remove birds from your facility without disrupting operations?
At Meridian, we use a live capture system that’s unlike anything else in the industry. This patented system was developed by Meridian’s founders specifically for use in active commercial environments. The core of the system is a light, flexible net originally designed for ornithologists. It’s highly effective and unobtrusive, making it the ideal tool for safely capturing birds without interfering with your business operations.
What sets Meridian apart is the expertise of our Bird Removal Technicians. Each technician is trained in bird behavior, enabling them to anticipate flight paths and strategically place the netting system in areas where birds are most likely to fly. This level of skill is critical for minimizing stress to the bird and reducing the time needed for capture.
Once a bird is captured, the system is closely monitored to ensure that no bird remains tangled for long. In most cases, birds are removed within minutes. This fast response not only protects the bird but also ensures minimal disruption to your staff and operations.
Our technicians are also trained to identify signs of illness or injury. If a captured bird appears sick or harmed, it is transported to a local wildlife rescue group for proper care and rehabilitation. Healthy birds are released safely nearby. In the rare case of homing birds—such as pigeons trained to return to specific locations—we relocate them farther away to reduce the chances of reentry.
This approach is rooted in years of experience and designed specifically for commercial facilities such as warehouses, retail stores, distribution centers, and more. We understand that your team can’t afford the operational delays, contamination risks, or public health issues that come from prolonged bird activity. That’s why our system is engineered to deliver quick, safe, and effective removal—without requiring your facility to close.
Meridian’s bird removal methods are not the same as pest control or traditional bird management techniques. We do not rely on systems or solutions that merely scare birds away. Instead, our goal is to resolve the issue completely by removing the bird from the facility, not just encouraging it to leave temporarily.
If your facility is experiencing frequent bird intrusions, there may be underlying factors drawing them in. Things that attract birds include accessible food, open loading dock doors, or nesting areas near HVAC systems and signage. Our team can help you identify these risks and recommend long-term strategies to prevent future visits.
Removing birds from a commercial facility takes more than guesswork—it takes experience, the right tools, and a deep understanding of bird behavior. Meridian provides all three.
