Bird
Birds are a diverse group of animals, often admired for their beauty and songs. However, certain species, such as pigeons, starlings, and sparrows, can become nuisances when they nest in and around homes or commercial properties, causing damage and health concerns.
Signs
Sounds: Chirping, cooing, flapping, or scratching sounds from walls, roofs, or chimneys.
Droppings: Accumulation of droppings near roosting or nesting areas.
Nests: Visible nests in vents, gutters, eaves, or other elevated areas.
Feathers and Debris: Feathers, twigs, and other nesting materials scattered around entry points.
Blocked Ventilation: Reduced airflow in vents or chimneys due to nests.
Nuisances
Nesting in vents, chimneys, gutters, or attics, leading to blockages or fire hazards.
Droppings that corrode structures, create slip hazards, and pose health risks.
Noise disturbances from chirping, cooing, or flapping wings.
Bringing mites or other pests into the property.
Common Issues
Structural damage caused by droppings, nesting materials, or pecking at surfaces.
Health risks from droppings, which can carry diseases like histoplasmosis and salmonella.
Vent or chimney blockages, increasing the risk of fire or poor ventilation.
Noise disturbances, particularly during breeding season.
Services
Inspection: Thorough assessment of nesting sites and areas affected by bird activity.
Exclusion: Installation of bird netting, spikes, or screens to prevent roosting or nesting.
Nest Removal: Safe removal of nests and cleanup of affected areas.
Dropping Cleanup: Professional cleaning and sanitization of areas contaminated with bird droppings.
Deterrents: Use of humane deterrents like sound devices, reflective materials, or repellents to discourage birds from returning.
Prevention: Strategies to eliminate attractants, such as sealing entry points and managing food sources.
