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.
