Birds
When the typical home or business owner thinks of pests, most of the images that arise are those of insects, rodents, or even weeds that overtake the yard. Unfortunately, birds can present just as much of a health risk and nuisance as many of their land-locked counterparts. When birds roost in your trees, garage, or even roof, the result can be thousands of dollars in damage to your property - not to mention the diseases carried by their waste.
Most birds are social creatures. When a nesting occurs around your home, there is a great possibility that more of them will follow. Although they seem harmless, there are countless reasons why having a bird intrusion can be destructive.
- Health: Most bird diseases - a total of 60 that have been identified by scientists - are transmitted through their feces, which are usually found in accumulated piles around homes with bird pest problems. In addition to the avian flu, other concerns include salmonella, meningitis, and e-coli.
- Destruction to property: Bird droppings are inherently acidic, meaning they can eat through the paint on houses and cars, as well as wear away the surfaces of roofs, fences, and outdoor fixtures.
- Noise: Although a single bird's song can be lovely, the combined songs of hundreds of roosting birds can interrupt your sleep and that of your neighbors. In some neighborhoods, you may even be responsible for the noise level caused by birds on your property.
The Crandell Bird Control Solution
Because birds fall into a different category than most pests, chemicals and traps are not a viable option for bird control. After all, they are an important part of the environment and should be handled as delicately as possible. In order to get rid of them humanely - and successfully - it is important to turn to the professionals at Crandell Pest Control.
Our technicians use a long-term bird control method that discourages them from considering your yard a home. We get rid of their nesting areas, place barriers for perching, and use ultrasonic sound devices that only birds can hear. The result is a bird-free yard that deters any annual returns. As part of this humane bird control solution, Crandell's skilled specialists also offer a cleaning service that gets rid of the feces residue without adding any more harmful chemicals into the ground.
