Bird Removal

A bird infestation can damage your home and commercial properties. If you spot a few birds in your area, check for signs of an infestation. Here are some clues to help you identify the threat.

SIGNS OF A BIRD INFESTATION

1. BIRD NOISES

Incessant loud noises from the birds may be an indication of a bird infestation, especially if there are noises from young chicks.

2. DROPPINGS

Places where birds live have a concentrated amount of guano. If you notice a build-up in bird droppings, there might be a nuisance bird infestation.

3. DAMAGE OF PROPERTY

Pigeons are the common bird species known to nest in tight spaces like dryer vents to protect themselves from predators. They cause damage by transporting loose roof tiles or other nesting materials to fit into small places. They may build nests beneath solar panels causing extensive damage.

4. DAMAGES CAUSED BY A BIRD INFESTATION

So far, we’ve alluded to property damage caused by birds like common pigeons and English sparrows when they infest and build nests on your property. Let’s take a closer look at the damage they cause and whom to contact for bird nesting removal.

BIRDS IN YOUR ATTIC SPACE

Birds looking to build a home in your attic will scavenge for material among stored items and even break down the walls to build their nest. They may use attic insulation as attic material,image of different birds on roof outside home leaving your home unprotected and causing a spike in energy costs. If that’s not enough, nests in attics can potentially cause fires and scratching noises.

Birds can be very skittery, so trapping them on your own may not be a good idea. Contact expert bird control specialists like Advanced Wildlife Removal, who will set up an exclusion system that will remove the birds from the attic without them coming back in.

BIRDS ON THE ROOF

Birds on your roof can cause damage or losses in two ways:

Ruining your home’s aesthetic

If you’ve invested money and time in making your home’s exterior beautiful, a bird infestation can negate your efforts in no time. Bird droppings on paved surfaces, manicured lawns, your car, roof, siding, and external walls are unsightly and make a house look run down. Potential buyers will be scared away, or they will make low offers.

Parasites and disease

Bird droppings are a source of germs that can transmit diseases like Meningitis, histoplasmosis, cryptococcosis, and Salmonella to pets and humans. Birds also carry parasites like ticks, mites, and fleas, which may also infest your home.

You can use barriers such as spikes, bird wire, or shock tracks. Advanced Wildlife Removal has bird removal experts who would be able to deal with the problem promptly using tried-and-true removal methods.

Note: the acid in bird droppings can also erode building materials and damage your clothes.

BIRDS IN YOUR VENT

Starlings, house sparrows, and blackbirds often build their nests in unscreened vents. These include:

Gable vents
Fan vents
Dryer vents
Bathroom exhaust vents
Ridge vents
Stove vents
Microwave vents

The nesting material blocks airflow in the vent and compromises the system’s effectiveness. In the end, you pay more for energy costs and repair costs since the air conditioning system is working overtime and constantly breaking down. You might also notice your space is filled with bird odors.

In 1995 a blockage in the vent system caused by a bird’s nest resulted in the death of a family of five in Cleaveland. The blockage caused carbon monoxide to build up, which caused their deaths.

Since the light and highly flammable nesting material block hot air from leaving residential and commercial buildings, they are a serious fire hazard. Our bird control specialists will clear your vents and eliminate any birds.

BIRDS IN YOUR CHIMNEY

It is dangerous to use a bird-infested chimney. The birds build nests in your chimney and fly down the vent and into your house. If you notice this (even once), contact wildlife control experts to install chimney caps and exit cones that’ll hinder the birds from re-entering the chimney.

BIRDS IN YOUR GUTTER SYSTEM

Your gutter system may be a preferred place for birds to build nests. Birds love to inhabit high areas; this makes the gutter a perfect nesting spot. Unfortunately, this can clog the gutter system leading to water stagnation.

Gradually, the water will accumulate and cause the gutters to sag damaging the whole gutter system and also the point of contact with your structure, siding, and foundation. The stagnant water will then become a breeding ground for mosquitoes and other insects. In addition to getting rid of the birds, we can install gutter guard systems that will keep the birds away.

WHICH WILDLIFE REMOVAL COMPANY TO CONTACT

Admittedly, these are serious consequences of a bird infestation. Luckily, you can prevent birds from becoming a problem by installing bird spikes, bird netting, and bird deterrents. But if you already have an infestation, you need to act now. Unfortunately, bird removal is not a job for amateurs. Instead, call in a professional pest control company to handle it.
