Birds

Birds can be a severe nuisance and health hazard when they are nesting in or on a structure. Birds are known for many things but when they are nesting within a structure it's diffucult to see them as anything other than feces factories and noise producers. No matter what kind of bird problem you may have there is no getting away from the unsightly mess of their feces dropping down your siding and corroding your paint. Also many pathogens and diseases are associated with their feces. Both new and old houses are magnets for different pest species of birds such as pigeons and starlings. Many houses have weak screen in the soffit or eave vents that small birds such as starlings can peck through very easily and before you know it they are bringing in twigs and starting a nest. The newborn chicks are difficult to ignore when they are "talking" to you from the attic above your bedroom at 5:00 AM every morning. They also bring with them unwanted parasitic pests such as mites as well as carpet beetles and other smaller pests that feed on the feces and other organic matter within these nests. Pigeons are a little different in that they rarely will nest inside a house, unless there is a broken window into an attic or other large opening. In general they prefer the sheltered area of a roof or overhanging ledges like under gable edges or roof girders under the eaves as seen on many older houses. Woodpeckers can also be pests when they drum on siding to establish territories. Imagine the damage they do to a tree and add that to what they can do to the thin siding many houses have. Barn Swallows/Cliff Swallows/Mud Swallows are a lot of fun to watch fly around but they can create the most unsightly dried-mud nests up under the eaves of your house that you would ever want to see.

Bird Control

Control of pest birds can vary considerably due to many different factors. Some control measures can include exclusion of entry points or nesting areas, bird spike to make a ledge a very uncomfortable place to roost, visual distractions, there are repellents, noise makers to scare them away, pyrotechnic devices, and also trapping of these pests. Each situation is very different and we accomodate your needs and interests into every program we set up. Very rarely is a lethal control program necessary, usually properly placed exclusion and repellent-type devices can do the job. Call Rambo Total Pest Control today for a free quote!
