Bird Control Services by 101 Exterminators

Birds can be beautiful to observe, but when they take up residence in or around your property, they can quickly become a nuisance. Birds like pigeons, sparrows, and starlings often create issues in Monterey, San Benito, Santa Cruz, and Santa Clara counties, especially for commercial properties, where their droppings, nests, and noise can lead to sanitation and structural concerns. 101 Exterminators provides professional bird control solutions to manage bird-related issues safely and humanely.

Why Bird Control Is Necessary

Birds can carry diseases, create slip hazards with droppings, and cause property damage through nesting and pecking. Nesting materials can clog gutters, vents, and chimneys, leading to water damage and even fire risks. Droppings are not only unsightly but also corrosive, potentially damaging building materials over time. In commercial settings, bird droppings can deter customers, affect business reputation, and lead to health code violations.

Common Birds That Cause Issues

101 Exterminators frequently manages several types of nuisance birds:

• Pigeons: Pigeons are the most common bird pest, known for their large droppings and nesting habits on building ledges and rooftops.
• Sparrows: Sparrows often nest in small openings in buildings, including vents, attics, and wall gaps.
• Starlings: These birds often nest in large flocks, creating loud noise, droppings, and blockages in gutters and drains.

Signs of a Bird Infestation

Bird infestations are usually easy to spot, but certain signs indicate a more serious issue:

• Excessive Droppings: Accumulated droppings on ledges, walkways, and rooftops indicate frequent bird activity.
• Nesting Materials: Twigs, feathers, and other nesting materials found near eaves, vents, and chimneys signal nesting activity.
• Birds Congregating: Large groups of birds roosting on ledges, roofs, or nearby trees often mean a potential infestation.

Effective Bird Control Techniques Used by 101 Exterminators

101 Exterminators employs humane and effective bird control methods designed to manage and deter birds without harm:

• Bird Netting: Netting can block birds from entering or nesting in specific areas, such as rooftops, balconies, and openings.
• Spikes and Ledges: Installing spikes and slanted ledges on common roosting areas prevents birds from landing and perching.
• Visual and Sound Deterrents: Reflective devices and sound emitters are used in some cases to create a less welcoming environment for birds.
• Exclusion Devices: These devices, installed on entry points, prevent birds from accessing vents, eaves, and other areas where they commonly nest.

Preventing Future Bird Infestations

Alongside active bird control, 101 Exterminators emphasizes preventive measures to help property owners avoid future issues:

• Regular Cleaning: Keeping outdoor areas clean of food scraps and trash reduces the attractiveness to birds.
• Proper Waste Management: Sealing garbage containers and maintaining clean dumpsters helps deter birds from congregating around food sources.
• Structural Adjustments: Securing entry points, vents, and ledges where birds may nest or perch is essential to maintaining a bird-free property.
