Bird Control Process
Bird control involves implementing measures to manage and mitigate issues related to birds, particularly when their presence creates problems such as damage to property, health hazards, or safety concerns. The bird control process may vary depending on the specific challenges posed by the bird species involved. Here are common steps in the bird control process:
Step 1
Site Inspection: Conduct a thorough inspection of the affected area to identify the bird species, the extent of the problem, and factors contributing to their presence. Assess potential nesting sites, roosting areas, and food sources. Check local and national regulations regarding bird control, as certain bird species may be protected by law. Compliance with legal requirements is crucial.
Step 2
Develop a Control Plan: Identify the specific issues caused by birds, such as property damage, health risks (due to droppings), or safety concerns (such as bird strikes at airports). Based on the inspection findings, develop a comprehensive bird control plan. The plan may include a combination of deterrents, exclusion methods, and habitat modification.
Deterrents & Exclusion Methods
Live Bird Exclusion
Install visual and auditory deterrents to make the area less appealing to birds. Examples include scarecrows, reflective materials, and ultrasonic devices.
Implement taste aversion agents on surfaces to discourage birds from roosting or perching. Seal entry points and install physical barriers, such as bird netting, spikes, or wire, to prevent birds from accessing roosting or nesting sites.
Use bird slopes on ledges to make surfaces less suitable for perching.
Habitat Modification & Professional Assistance
