Commercial Bird Control

Commercial bird control has become a standard part of facility management. Whether you’re experiencing property damage, extensive bird droppings, excessive noise, or damage to your reputation because of nuisance birds, hiring professionals to handle bird control is your answer. Critter Control has extensive experience in the humane removal of a variety of bird species from commercial properties.

What Are the Methods of Bird Control?

Critter Control technicians have many effective bird control services that can solve your infestation. Since birds are protected by laws such as the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, bird control services are best performed by experienced specialists fully trained in humane commercial animal removal.

The best approach to bird control emphasizes deterrents, exclusion, or building modifications. Critter Control’s bird experts are equipped with the training and tools to remove nuisance birds, repair bird damage, and proof your commercial property to prevent future issues.

Bird Deterrents

A bird deterrent is a method that makes an area in which birds are landing, roosting, or nesting uncomfortable or inhospitable for them.

• Bird gel is a substance, either spread directly on a surface or placed in a series of gel dishes, that deters birds visually and physically. The smell and texture work as a bird repellent.
• Bird electric tracks are applied to ledges, signage, and rooftops. Flexible, UV-stabilized PVC base, with electrically charged contacts, provides a mild-electrical sensation to modify the birds’ habits and encourage them to roost elsewhere.
• Bird hazing is a spray, mist, or vapor made of nontoxic grapeseed oil. The grape-scented product is sprayed on lawns to deter feeding birds such as geese or delivered as a mist or vapor to control birds in outside areas, such as dining patios and pools.  

Bird Exclusion

By using exclusion, commercial bird control services make access to roosting and nesting areas physically impossible.  It involves installing physical barriers that block birds from landing and roosting. This alleviates the risks of property damage and developing health issues.

• Bird netting, installed either horizontally across a ceiling or roof or vertically along a wall, doesn’t allow birds to land. Heavy-duty UV-stabilized polyethylene netting is suspended utilizing a high-tension steel perimeter cable and turnbuckle system. Zippers are installed that provide access so maintenance of lights and other types of fixtures can be maintained.
• Bird Slides create angles to protect flat surfaces such as ledges, beams, and windowsills by making it impossible for birds to land without sliding off.
• Custom metalwork can be fabricated and installed in areas that have unique shapes and sizes to exclude birds from accessing a space or structure.
• Bird wire is an installation of stainless steel posts with spring-tensioned wires spanning the posts that create an unsteady landing for birds. It can be installed on gutters, ledges, windowsills, pipes, window sills, and structural beams.
• Bird spikes work well for medium to large birds. They consist of rows of metal or plastic spikes connected to a base that is attached to ledges, windowsills, and structural beams to keep birds from roosting.

According to Medical News Today, birds and bird droppings carry over 60 diseases, some of them airborne. Birds also carry parasites, such as mites and fleas. When bird droppings accumulate on a walkway, it creates a fall risk. Bird droppings contain a high level of uric acid, which is corrosive. They can eat away at paint, roofing material, gutters, and even stone. Nesting material in vents can become a fire hazard.
