Birds can become pests when they cause damage to property, or when their droppings create unsanitary conditions. Because birds are protected by laws, it’s important to use humane methods to control bird populations. To avoid trouble, it is recommended that hire a pest control company to deal with these pests.
Understanding Birds
- Woodpeckers: They can cause damage to wood siding and fascia by drilling holes to create nesting sites.
- Sparrows and starlings: These birds can cause damage to buildings by nesting in vents and eaves, and their droppings can also create unsanitary conditions.
- Pigeons: Their droppings can damage buildings and statues, and can also create unsanitary conditions. Pigeons can also cause health hazards by spreading diseases through their droppings.
- Seagulls: They can cause damage to buildings, vehicles, and other structures by nesting on rooftops.
- Geese: They can damage crops, lawns, and gardens and their droppings also create unsanitary conditions.
Signs of a Bird Infestation
- Feathers, twigs, and other materials that birds use to build nests.
- Birds flying in and out of a specific area, such as through a hole in the roof or through a broken window.
- Bird nests in vents, eaves, and other areas of the home or building.
- Birds gather around a specific area, such as near a building or in a park.
- Bird droppings on sidewalks, buildings, vehicles, and other surfaces.
- Birds chirping loudly in the attic or walls.
- Damage to building exteriors, such as holes in the siding or roof. These issues are typically caused by birds pecking or nesting.
- Damage to crops, lawns, or gardens caused by birds feeding or nesting.
