Minimal. Proofing such as netting and spikes is installed efficiently and is designed to be discreet and long-lasting. Santera assesses your building and recommends solutions that protect it while keeping visual impact and disruption low — practical for residential, commercial, and hospitality properties in Dubai.

It's not advisable. Nests harbour mites and parasites and pose hygiene risks, removal at height can be unsafe, and without proper proofing the birds simply return. Santera removes nests safely, disinfects the area, and proofs the access points so the problem doesn't recur.

Yes. Birds nest in and around AC units, vents, and drainage, blocking airflow and water flow with nests and debris and creating fire, hygiene, and maintenance risks. Proofing these points is a key part of Santera's bird-management programmes for Dubai buildings and facilities.

Feral pigeons, common mynas, and house crows are the main pests. Pigeons foul facades and block AC units; invasive mynas nest in cavities and roof voids; and bold house crows raid bins and can be aggressive near nests. Each needs a tailored proofing and management approach.

Santera surveys your building to identify the species and every roosting and nesting point, then installs humane exclusion — netting, spikes, and wire systems — after safe nest removal, and cleans and disinfects fouled areas. All work is Dubai Municipality-certified and designed to keep birds out for good.

Yes. Bird droppings are acidic and corrode facades, paintwork, metalwork, and AC units over time, while nests block vents, gutters, and drainage. In Dubai's buildings this becomes a recurring and costly maintenance problem, which proofing prevents by stopping birds settling in the first place.
