Identify Birds
The most common nuisance bird prompting pest-control calls is the rock pigeon (Columba livia). Adults measure about 32 cm long, with a bluish-gray body, two distinctive black wing bars, and iridescent green-purple neck feathers. Juveniles appear duller, with brownish tones and less pronounced wing bars. They nest on ledges, under eaves or in attics, leaving corrosive droppings that stain surfaces and clog gutters. Pigeons gather in large flocks, creating noise and health concerns from accumulated waste, making them a frequent target for control and exclusion measures.
How do I get rid of Birds?
To humanely get rid of nuisance birds like pigeons, sparrows, or starlings, start by physically excluding them: cover ledges, vents, and eaves with bird-proof netting and install stainless-steel or plastic spikes on flat surfaces and gutters to deny roosting spots. Remove all easy food and water sources—secure trash bins, eliminate scraps, and block access to standing water. Add visual deterrents such as reflective tape, holographic balloons, or predator-shaped kites, and consider motion-activated or ultrasonic devices that emit sounds birds find unpleasant. For particularly stubborn roosting areas, apply non-toxic sticky gels or repellent sprays that make perches uncomfortable without harming the birds. Finally, if the infestation is severe, enlist a licensed wildlife-control professional to perform safe removal, thoroughly clean droppings to reduce health risks, and install permanent exclusion systems in compliance with local regulations.
