Some birds can cause structural damage to buildings and homes, and others can pose health threats associated with their droppings. For example, woodpeckers are known to peck at buildings, siding, metal and air conditioners, while soil enriched with starling droppings can lead to diseases like histoplasmosis. These factors make bird pest control and removal paramount for businesses and homeowners alike.
Eliminate, or reduce as much as possible, standing water and areas in which the pest birds can feed.
Keep trash cans covered and areas clean
Never feed pest birds.
Trim trees away from structures; and prune those seen to attract pest bird roosting.
Add obstructions (such as spikes or sticky glues) to ledges where pest birds roost.
Clean gutters to prevent standing water.
If pest birds are feeding on the food in feeders set out for desirable birds, try changing the type of food used. If pest birds are a big problem, it is often advisable to stop using feeders during warm weather.
Recognising the symptoms of bird infestation and receiving a direct remedy can lower the period of time required to manage birds.
