Bird control is essential for managing populations of birds that pose health risks, cause property damage, or create nuisances in both urban and rural environments. Effective bird control methods help maintain a safe and clean environment by deterring unwanted birds from roosting and nesting in areas such as buildings, airports, and agricultural sites.
Why Is Bird Control Important?
Health Risks
Birds and their droppings can carry over 60 diseases, including salmonella and histoplasmosis, which are hazardous to humans and pets.
Property Damage
Bird droppings are acidic and can corrode building materials and stain fabrics. Nesting materials can also clog drains and lead to water damage.
Food Contamination
Birds can contaminate food production and storage areas, posing significant health risks in food processing industries.
Noise and Aesthetic Issues
Large flocks of birds can be noisy and disruptive. Their droppings can create unsightly messes that detract from the appearance of buildings and vehicles.
Signs of a Bird Infestation
Frequent Bird Activity
Regular sightings of birds landing on buildings, ledges, or rooftops, especially in large numbers.
Nests
The presence of bird nests in building ledges, rafters, signs, and other sheltered areas.
Droppings
Accumulation of bird droppings in concentrated areas can not only be unsightly but also a slipping hazard.
Noises
Continuous bird calls, especially during early morning, can indicate nesting or roosting nearby.
Bird FAQ’s
What methods are used for bird control?
Bird control methods include physical deterrents like spikes and netting, chemical deterrents such as bird repellents, and visual or auditory devices that scare birds away. In some cases, habitat modification to make the area less attractive to birds is also effective.
Is bird control humane?
Yes, most modern bird control methods are designed to be humane, focusing on deterring birds without causing harm. Techniques like netting, spikes, and ultrasonic devices prevent birds from accessing roosting spots without injuring them.
Can I perform bird control myself?
While some simple deterrents can be implemented by individuals, complex infestations or large properties often require professional intervention to ensure effectiveness and compliance with local wildlife laws.
How can I prevent birds from coming back?
Long-term bird control involves regular maintenance of deterrent systems, consistent monitoring of potential nesting sites, and immediate cleaning of waste and debris to reduce attractants. Professional bird control services can provide ongoing support and adjustments as needed.

Testimonials
“Jason came out to provide a termite estimate. Due to his confidence, knowledge, and professionalism I hired him on the spot. About an hour later he had us set up to begin exterminating our termites with monitoring stations. I went with Pest Pros not because they offered the lowest cost estimate, but because of Jason.”
