DIY or Professional Bird Nest Removal: Which Is Best for Your Home?
You’ve spotted a bird nest on your property. Now what? Should you try removing it yourself, or is hiring a pro the right move?
BEDR Wildlife Removal explains both options and why professional bird nest removal is often the safest (and smartest) choice.

Why Bird Nests Can Be a Problem
Left unchecked, nests can:
- Block dryer or HVAC vents
- Cause fire hazards
- Spread germs and parasites
While birds aren’t usually dangerous, their nesting materials and droppings can risk your health and home.
Can You Remove a Bird Nest Yourself?
DIY removal might be possible if the nest is inactive (no birds, eggs, or chicks). However:
❗ Laws still apply — never remove protected nests
❗ There’s a risk of spreading germs
❗ Reaching vents and chimneys can be dangerous
In most cases, it’s best to leave this to licensed pros.
How Much Does Professional Bird Nest Removal Cost?
Professional removal generally costs between $150 and $900, depending on:
✅ Location (chimney, attic, vent)
✅ Access difficulty
✅ Cleaning needs
