Our Residential Bird Control Services That Will Keep Pigeons and Other Birds Off Your Home

Birds may symbolize freedom and liberty, but they can also be a real nuisance. Much like sirens, birds sing beautiful songs, but they’ll eventually drive you insane.

Why Are Birds a Threat to Your Home?

It’s hard to imagine these small, winged creatures being a threat. After all, they don’t really appear to do much. Yet the truth is that bird damage costs the US tens of millions of dollars each year.

Here are some of the biggest problems they can cause to your home:

They Spread Diseases

Birds host a number of diseases and parasites, including salmonella and ticks. These diseases can infect you, your family, and your pets.

Direct contact with the bird isn’t the only problem either, as birds will leave their infected droppings all over your home. This could find its way into your food, leading to food poisoning. You could also stumble upon the droppings, and might get sick by just being near the infected waste. Either way, getting sick will make your life more difficult and stressful, so it’s best to stay clear of the birds.

They Damage Your Home

Birds are quite well-known for their droppings, but not for the damage they do to your home. Some birds, like woodpeckers, could cost you thousands of dollars in repairs after they damage your walls. Other birds could destroy your home with their droppings, whose corrosiveness will slowly eat away at your roof.

Birds can also ruin your home by building nests if you can believe it. Their nests can end up blocking drainage systems, and it could collapse your roof. They may also build their nests in your chimney, which could then burn down your house if the fireplace is used.

They Ruin Your Things

Numerous air conditioning units have met their end thanks to these pests. They can peck it till it dies. They can leave their droppings to clog up the filters. They can even get their feathers stuck inside the machine. All in all, birds can give your air conditioning unit a quick death. These flying pests can also ruin your car. Who knows how many paint jobs they’ve ruined with their droppings. You’ll also have to spend more time cleaning your car because of their droppings.

What’s So Bad About Birds?

 As a business owner, a bird doesn’t seem like a serious threat. After all, it’s just an animal that sits atop trees and chirps out songs. Unfortunately, that’s not entirely true. Birds are known to be a serious threat to businesses all across the nation. They can cost you money, time, and customers. In fact, birds in the US cause tens of millions of dollars in damage each year. That can be hard to believe, but they pose a real threat to businesses. Here are just some of the problems they can cause.

They Create Unsanitary Conditions

If you’ve walked through a city street, odds are that you’ve spotted a bunch of pigeon droppings on the sidewalk. It’s normal to feel revolted at the sight, as the droppings are filthy. Birds can do something similar to your business. They can make your offices appear filthy by leaving their droppings outside. That may not seem that bad to you, but it can have a serious effect on how the customer perceives your business. It will tarnish your brand and could make your offices appear dirty and less-than-professional. This sort of negative reaction could cost you many customers, and it could make the difference between a successful business and a failed one.

They Spread Diseases

Birds are home to a lot of diseases, from salmonella to histoplasmosis. These winged animals also host their fair share of parasites, like fleas and ticks. Just by being near your offices, birds can spread their diseases to you, your employees, and your customers. While many of these diseases aren’t fatal, they can still spell plenty of trouble. You clearly don’t want to get sick, as it’ll lower your productivity and cost you to get treated.

Having a sick staff can also be a problem for a number of reasons, and it does more than affect your employees’ personal lives. A sick employee will likely take a sick leave, which will no doubt lower your company’s performance. Sick employees could also leave a bad impression on your customers, and it’s clear why you wouldn’t want that. As a business, you also want to give your customers the best experience possible. That’s why you want to avoid getting them sick.

They Cause Damage

This may be hard to imagine, but birds actually do plenty of damage. Some birds have sharp beaks that they can use to puncture important equipment. Others might build nests in precarious locations that could result in fires. It’s even said that bird droppings can help corrode parts of your structure.

How Can We Help?

Our job is to prevent any of that from happening. We focus on handling all your wildlife problems so that you can focus on doing your important work. That’s why we’ll help you remove any birds bothering you. One of the first things we do is to assess the problem. This might involve learning the birds’ habits and habitats. It’ll give us a good indication of how to remove them and protect your business.

Once that’s done, we’ll set to work removing as many birds as possible. We start by trapping birds in live cages before relocating them. We also remove any holes the birds could use to get inside your building. We’ll even work on removing or relocating bird nests. With these gone, the birds will move on because your offices aren’t near their homes anymore.

Yet we aren’t satisfied with just removing the birds. We want to make sure you never have to deal with birds in the future. That’s why we dedicate part of our time to set up preventative measures. This involves setting up bird spikes, bird netting, and other repellents that will keep the birds out for good.
