How to prevent sparrows from nesting under roof air conditioner unit?

[Sunny18]

 

We found that birds had been nesting both in the unit and in the box underneath the unit which they were accessing under a tin platform which had a small gap in it. Although the A/C technician had sealed the A/C unit,, the birds still access the roof via the corrugated roofing as well. What should I do? 

Some people had suggested installing gutter guards to prevent birds from landing on the  roof. Please advise, thank you

Hello @Sunny18 

There are quite a few brands in regards to gutter guard, I suggest visiting your local store and having a look to see which one is suitable for your needs. Some of the mesh types come in 8-meter rolls others come shorter. Just keep in mind that the total length you'll need is 72 meters, you may add an extra meter for overlays and adjustments.  

For example, one of the longest packs available is the Jack 180mm x 15m Plastic Super Gutter Guard. It is UV stabilized and can withstand harsh weather. 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

can you please advise which product is better

Hi Team

I hope you’re well

Tradie told me that Jack 110mm Gutterguard Outdoor Fire Retardant

Bristle Guard would suit the colour bond roof more galvanised wire , Jack 110mm Gutterguard Outdoor Fire Retardant because

Bristle Guard Bristle Guard will fit in snug in between the gutters as colour bond roofs usually fall closer to the gutter than tiled roofs.

This product also makes it easier to clean the gutters as you just pull them out and rinse them and put them back in as you can re use them! 
Can you please confirm it is true ? Thank you

Bristle Guard

would suit the colour bond roof more than install the galvanised wire , Jack 110mm Gutterguard Outdoor Fire Retardant because Bristle Guard Bristle Guard will fit in snug in between the gutters as colour bond roofs usually fall closer to the gutter than tiled roofs.

This product also makes it easier to clean the  gutters as you just pull them out and rinse them and put them back in as you can re use them!

Hello @Sunny18 

I recommend using the Jack 125mm Outdoor Fire Retardant Gutter Bristles. Not only is it easy to install, but it is also easy to take out and clean, simply use the jet function on your garden hose gun and hose off any mud or debris that might have attached itself to the bristles.  

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Thank you

Hello @Sunny18 

You will need 72 meters; this is in accordance with the measurements you provided. It would be better to get the Jack 125mm Outdoor Fire Retardant Gutter Bristle - 6 Pack as it more economical. It will require eight packs to cover the gutters.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
