Birds
Unwanted Guests That Disturb Your Peace
Pest birds like pigeons and mynas are a common issue in Oman, especially in cities like Muscat, Salalah, and Sohar. They nest on rooftops, balconies, and AC units, leaving behind droppings that are both unsightly and hazardous. Bird infestations are often found in homes, warehouses, and commercial buildings, where they cause damage, spread disease, and attract other pests. Their nests are usually hidden in hard-to-reach places, making them difficult to remove without expert help.
Are Birds a Pest Problem in Oman?
Yes. Birds especially pigeons and house sparrows are a growing pest issue across Oman, particularly in urban areas, warehouses, rooftops, signage, and HVAC systems. Their droppings, nesting materials, and noise cause damage to property and pose health risks due to bacteria and parasites.

Safe, undisturbed nesting areas
