Expert tips to control birds around your business

Handling unruly birds can be a major challenge for many businesses. Birds leave behind large messes, bother customers, and may present various health risks.  

Pigeons and seagulls are some of the most troublesome species, especially in urban areas. Several factors make managing them especially difficult:

1. Pigeons primarily eat grains and seeds, but have adapted to city life by scavenging for leftover food and waste from trash bins.  
2. With a steady food supply, pigeons can breed year-round, with the highest activity between March and July.  
3. Seagulls are highly territorial and tend to return to the same nesting sites annually, making it difficult to remove them once they’ve settled in once.  
4. These birds also have remarkably long lifespans—seagulls can live up to 40 years old, and continue to reproduce throughout their lifetime.

A sudden spike in bird nests near your property might be the start of a future infestation. If you suspect you may need professional bird control, reach out to Bug Out.

First steps to bird control

The most effective way to deter birds over the long term is by eliminating their access to food. However, in most business settings, this isn’t always a feasible option.  

If birds are becoming a problem around your property, consider these steps:

• Block access to nesting areas by adding barriers to window ledges and other common roosting spots.  
• Store food sources out of view to minimize attraction.  
• Ensure trash can lids are tightly closed and keep garbage bags covered.
