How to get rid of birds

Certain bird species can create concerns for people when they inhabit an area in close proximity to residential or commercial properties. Bird droppings and nesting material can create many health and safety concerns for homeowners, and can also result in a considerable loss of product and an increase in maintenance costs for business owners. Getting rid of birds can be a real problem for any property owner and may require bird control services. Let us do it for you!

Electric bird deterrents

This is a cost-effective and discreet solution to keep pest birds away. The system can be used as a deterrent on any flat surface to exclude birds completely and prevent damage to your property. It is ideal for use on parapets, roof peaks, beams, ledges, etc.

Bird trapping

Commercial Solution

Humane live trapping and removal of birds can be effective in some circumstances. This service will include routine visits to ensure that food, water, and shade are available for any trapped birds, as well as removal.

Optical gel

Commercial Solution

This multi-sensory bird repellent gets rid of birds using sight, smell, and touch. Birds see fire or smoke where this product is placed, even though there is no fire or smoke present. They smell peppermint oil, which they hate, and the gel is sticky to touch. It can be used on ledges, signs, balconies, soffits, beams, skylights, roofs, AC units, and in enclosed spaces.

Grid systems

Commercial Solution

Grid systems are used to keep birds out of certain areas. A fine mesh fabric of cabling or wire is used to stretch over a surface to prevent birds from landing.

Tips for getting rid of pest birds

Although you cannot stop birds from visiting your property, there are easy steps you can take to reduce the conditions that birds may find attractive on your property.

Remove food sources

• Do not use bird feeders
• Keep trash areas away from structures and ensure those areas are clean and well-managed
• Ensure trash cans have tight-fitting lids
• Clean up any outdoor food or product spills quickly
• Post signage at your business to encourage people not to feed the birds
• For restaurants, bus outdoor dining areas as quickly as possible after services

Landscaping

• Regularly mow and maintain lawns
• Keep shrubs and trees trimmed and open to prevent nesting
• Keep areas under shrubs free of vegetation and debris to eliminate potential nesting areas
• Install a fence, barrier, or perimeter fence around bodies of water where possible to discourage geese

Remove access points

• Birds can use ledges, window sills, cracks in wood, eaves and holes in the roof to build their nests. By adding deterrents, sealing up holes, and making those places less attractive to birds, you can stop them from using them as nesting places.
