Bird Deterrence

Nuisance Bird Problems

While every situation is different, we see some cases more frequently than others. But first, let’s show you the most common areas where nuisance birds are found.

Attics

Birds make their way into our attics, one of the last places you want them. Their sounds can be quite an annoyance, but beyond that, they can wreak havoc in your attic while gathering materials for their nests. They also bring other items like outdoor sticks as they continue to assemble your attic materials, such as electrical wiring and insulation. The Green Valley bird removal experts have exclusion methods so they can not return once removed.

Vents

When birds find their way into your vents, they can be difficult to locate and remove. In addition, because vents are generally sealed, birds can take up residency for extended periods before being discovered. Though the removal process can be challenging, a professional like Green Valley installs the proper vent covers for each type of vent and bird problem. These covers prevent birds from entering once they have left.

Nesting In Signs

Signs are ideal for birds to build their nests as they provide shelter from the elements and are a hideaway from potential predators. Unfortunately, this is not ideal for store owners, the staff and customers as all are subjected to the bird's droppings. In addition, the droppings' appearance will deter potential customers and pose a health risk as they can spread disease.

Gutters and Ledges

Birds lining a ledge or sitting in gutters are pretty common in some areas (mainly cities). As they do when in signs, birds will leave droppings as they roost. In this case, removing fecal matter and installing bird deterrents is vital to keep all around safe from disease and for to keep the birds away.

Birds on roofs, in attics, roofs, chimneys, vents, signs, gutters and on ledges are more than just a nuisance. Once they settle and make this space, their nesting spot damage is likely, along with the threat of health risks.

Bird droppings cause unsanitary conditions. Their nests can obstruct equipment resulting in its failure. In addition, these nests block chimneys, which can result in a fire.

As their droppings can be dangerous to touch and inhale, removing and controlling birds is not a do-it-yourself project. Instead, hiring a professional company specializing in bird removal is crucial. An expert will carefully remove the birds, seal potential entries and place bird deterrents as needed.
