Sometimes Birds Are Very Useful, But Sometimes Not

Birds can be beautiful, smart, majestic creatures that can gracefully glide through the sky. They play an important ecological role by reducing the numbers of nuisance insects and rodents. Species like the carrier pigeon can be used to relay messages back and forth to people, or can provide a beautiful show like when white doves are released from gilded cages at a wedding. But let’s face it, they can also be a huge nuisance around our home, and as much as we want to love them, sometimes we just don’t!

Pest birds can become a huge annoyance and danger for property owners; they can produce huge amount of feces that can accumulate on the ground and result in slip and fall injuries, not to mention looking unsightly. They can damage roofs, vents, gutters, and other structures at your home where they roost and nest. And they carry and transmit a wide variety of diseases to people through their feces that includes salmonella, histoplasmosis, and chlamyiosis. Pest birds can also bring fleas, mites, and ticks onto your property. So while they are environmentally important, it is just as important to responsibly control them and prevent large numbers of pest birds from calling your home their home.

Wild birds often come back to the same place to nest in year after year and this makes controlling pest birds very difficult. The most effective way to control pest birds on your property is with the help of a bird control expert. However, there are some things that you can do on your own to help deter pest birds. Pest bird prevention tips include:

• Be sure that outdoor trash cans have locking lids.
• Take down bird feeders.
• Limit water sources.
• Install bird exclusion devices on your roof to deter them from choosing your roof to nest on.
