Bird nests and droppings create serious problems for homes and businesses. When birds nest in or around your property, they can become a big nuisance. Because so many birds are protected species in North Carolina, it’s imperative never to try to implement your own bird control.

For 60 years, Bug Out has been your local expert in bird exclusion and control. We have a wide range of discreet, cost-effective, and humane bird control measures for the safety of the birds. 

Bird Pest Control Solutions

Birds may be beloved creatures, but they can become a nuisance when they nest on or near your home. From the noises they make to the nests they create, no one wants a flock of birds on their roof. Here in North Carolina, there are many regulations in place when it comes to bird control. For safety reasons, it’s always best to enlist the help of a professional bird removal team. Our experts employ a number of bird exclusion tactics, so birds stay away from your property year-round.

Bird Deterrent and Repellent Solutions

We have a range of safe and effective deterrent solutions to mitigate bird issues. This includes visual deterrents like reflective objects or predator decoys and auditory deterrents like ultrasonic devices. We prioritize safety by strategically placing deterrents to minimize risks to people and property. 

Our team makes sure that deterrents are installed securely and maintained regularly to uphold their effectiveness in deterring birds while keeping the environment and wildlife safe.

Nest Removal and Prevention

We safely remove bird nests with minimal disruption to the birds and their habitats. We seal entry points to prevent birds from re-nesting and conduct ongoing monitoring to identify and address potential nesting sites.

Bird Exclusion and Netting

We use various methods to keep birds out of problematic areas, including netting, screening, and physical sealing. This can involve enclosing signs, eaves, and overhangs with netting or protecting equipment like HVAC units with specialized screening.

Humane Bird Trapping and Removal

Our team sets traps in strategic locations to catch pest birds, which are then safely removed from the premises. We make sure all trapping is done humanely, with regular checks to provide food, water, and shade as needed.

Bird Harassment Techniques

In some cases, we may use harassment methods to prevent birds from settling in an area. This can include tactics like laser lights in specific color spectrums or trained canines to chase birds away.

Cleaning and Disinfection

Before and after implementing bird control measures, we provide thorough cleaning and disinfection services to mitigate the physical and health threats posed by bird droppings and nesting materials.

Why Bird Control Matters

Birds can become a significant nuisance when they nest on or near your property. Infestations create serious problems for both homes and businesses, causing damage and posing health risks.

Health Concerns

Did you know that bird droppings can harbor germs and bacteria responsible for up to 60 different diseases, infections, and illnesses in humans? These include respiratory ailments, viral infections, and even food poisoning. The health risks associated with bird infestations are not to be taken lightly.

Property Damage

Birds cause millions of dollars in property damage each year. Their droppings and nesting materials can deface buildings and structures, and the high uric acid content in their waste can corrode metal, paint, fabric, and other materials. Nests and droppings also frequently clog drains, sometimes leading to roof collapse when rainwater can’t escape.

Business Impact

For businesses, bird infestations can be particularly problematic. Bird droppings create slip-and-fall hazards, spread disease, and damage property. The ongoing costs of cleaning, repair, and maintenance can be substantial, not to mention the potential harm to your business’s image.

Other issues include:

  • Public health risks
  • Air quality concerns
  • Safety hazards
  • Damage to structures, equipment, and property
  • Aesthetic concerns
  • Secondary pest issues
  • Noise complaints
  • Neighboring property concerns
  • Construction and project delays

What Are the Signs of a Bird Infestation?

Signs of a bird infestation include: 

  • Frequent sightings of birds in and around the property (particularly congregating in large numbers). 
  • Nests in or around buildings, trees, or utility poles.
  • Damage to structures, such as pecking or nesting activity.
  • Accumulation of droppings.
  • Debris, like feathers and nesting materials.

What Attracts Birds to Your Home or Business?

Many factors can attract birds to your home or business, such as abundant food sources from gardens – like trees and plants, bird feeders, and water features like birdbaths or ponds. Birds also seek out environments for potential nesting sites, such as eaves and roof spaces. Implementing preventative measures such as securing garbage bins, minimizing food spillage, and sealing off potential nesting sites can help.

How to Safely Remove a Bird Nest

To help navigate bird control regulations in North Carolina and to achieve safety, it’s important not to try and remove any nests yourself and contact an expert. Our trained bird control professionals employ humane and effective methods to remove nests without harming the birds or causing them unnecessary stress. We assess the situation carefully, considering factors such as nesting materials, location, and potential hazards.

FAQs

The most effective bird control uses expert, humane methods like netting, spikes, and electronic deterrents. Professional pest control ensures long-term prevention and regular maintenance, protecting your property efficiently and safely.

It’s important to firstly identify the species and assess the extent of the infestation. Contact a pest control expert to help safely implement a combination of deterrents and exclusion techniques to help protect your property.

Birds dislike strong odors such as those from certain spices like cayenne pepper, garlic, and vinegar, or can be deterred by the scent of predatory animals like foxes or wolves. 

It’s important to note that the effectiveness of these scents as bird deterrents can vary depending on the species and the situation. Contact your local Bug Out team today to help with effective long term bird control.

To identify a bird in your yard, observe its physical characteristics such as size, color, and markings. Pay attention to its behavior, including how it moves, feeds, and interacts with other birds.
