Bird Control FAQ
Why are birds nesting on my property?
Birds seek shelter in roof voids, gutters, and ledges for safety and warmth. Food sources like open garbage bins or outdoor pet food can also attract them.
Are birds dangerous to my home or business?
Yes. Bird droppings can corrode buildings, block gutters, and spread diseases like salmonella and histoplasmosis. Nesting materials can also create fire hazards near electrical wiring.
How can I prevent birds from nesting on my property?
Install bird spikes, netting, or deterrent systems, keep garbage bins sealed, and remove any standing water sources to make your property less inviting.
What are the best methods for bird control?
Professional bird control includes exclusion measures (spikes, netting), bird deterrents (sonic devices, visual scare tactics), and habitat modification to discourage nesting.
Is bird control humane?
Yes. Ethical bird control methods focus on deterring and relocating birds rather than harming them. Many pest control services comply with local wildlife protection laws.
