Birds

For commercial, government, and residential property owners, there are as many problems associated with birds as there are species of birds out there. The Critter Guy can help out with most of them.

Dealing with birds can sometimes be a difficult process. Some species are protected by federal law, and any action outside of non-lethal harassment is either illegal or requires monumental amounts of red-tape traversal. The Critter Guy is well-versed in all of the laws regarding our local feathered friends. A couple of examples of high-conflict species that are protected are Canada geese and every variety of woodpecker.

Sometimes non-native, mostly unprotected species are the culprit. Pigeons, starlings, and European house finches (English sparrows) have very little legal protection. We frequently deal with these birds, and we mostly use non-lethal control methods.

The first step in bird control is identification. In instances of nesting birds, the Critter Guy will age the nestlings, making timed nest removals an option before the next brood moves in. If the birds have already left, bird cleanup can be messy and potentially hazardous to your health. We have special equipment to handle this biological waste, safely and affordably.

Lots of methods are available to keep birds out of unwanted areas, both protected and unprotected. Some methods work, others not so much. Having a professional match an affordable, effective method or device to your specific circumstance can save you headache and time in the end. Give The Critter Guy a call if a bird ruffles your feathers and we'll be happy to discuss professional nuisance bird control options with you.
