Residential bird control & removal work

Here is some information and applications of good bird work and some application of bad bird work that is easy to spot when looking around at buildings and homes in the valley.

Bird control work on a home is a little different than commercial buildings because the bird problem is usually closer to the ground given the size of the building and the bad habit birds have of nesting above entry points, eave overhangs and roof ridges on the house.

Birds especially pigeons like to nest in roof line overhangs since they offer protection from the sun and predators flying overhead.

The problem is that this area is just above the door way and as the pigeon feces builds up it rolls down the tiles onto the walkway below, creating slip and fall hazards and can also get into the air you breath.

Exclusion net, screen or shock systems of the tile areas is the best solution to this problem. Spike in an area like this will allow the birds a good nest site, since they can walk up to the spike and drop twigs into the spike and build up the area for a nesting site.

Today's home builders are putting up home so fast that attention to detail is very poor. Some subcontractors that do the framing or roofing work appear to not have any pride in their work as is evident buy all the unfinished overhangs and other locations that pigeons can get into an attic.  Make sure that your eaves and vents are closed so as not to allow birds into your attic. Pigeon feces, feathers can get into you air duct system and cause health problems for you and your family.

 Pest birds can harbor over 40 types of parasites &

host internally 60 types of infectious diseases.

  We arrive in well stocked and well marked company vans not some old pickup with all the stuff thrown in the back like some companies do.

When we show up we have all the tools, drills, ladders and materials to do the job right.

Don't use GELS !

Some companies like to use gels in Arizona because it's fast and easy, DON'T DO IT. Bird Gels have been around for a long time under different names like Roost No More, 4The Birds, Tangelfoot and so on. Gels are designed to make pigeons feel uncomfortable when they stand on the gel and this will make them move away - Yes & No

Most gels are petroleum base products and will dry out after a period of time depending on climate extremes, in the Southwest about 3-6 months if you are lucky. When the gel semi-dries out it turns black and will leave a sticky mess that attracts feathers, dust, feces and sometime small song birds, but at this point it doesn't keep pigeons away it just looks bad and by then your check has cleared.

Contact us today to see about scheduling an inspection of your property and see how we can help you stop all the noise and mess as well as the possible slip & fall dangers or health hazards associated with pest birds that may be roosting or nesting on any of your properties.
