Bird Removal

Is Your Home For The Birds?

Seeing birds perched on your roof is one thing but hearing them nesting in your walls is another. Birds are beautiful creatures but when they decide to move into your vents, attics, or eaves they become noisy and destructive tenants. Their nesting materials can block airflow creating fire hazards, and their droppings can also carry diseases. If you suspect you have a bird problem do not try to evict them yourself especially during nesting season. You need a professional solution that is effective humane and legal. Elite Exterminating can help you reclaim your home from your feathered friends safely.

More Than Just a Nuisance

While birds themselves are not typically aggressive, their presence in your home can lead to significant problems. The biggest issue is their nests which are often built in dryer vents, bathroom exhaust fans, and chimneys. These nests block airflow which can cause appliances to overheat and create a serious fire hazard.

Additionally bird droppings can accumulate rapidly corroding building materials like metal and wood and creating a slip-and-fall hazard. Dry droppings can also become airborne and carry diseases like histoplasmosis. Ignoring a bird problem will only lead to more damage and a larger flock.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to get rid of the birds?
If they are nesting in your vents or attic yes. The nests block airflow and create a serious fire hazard and their droppings can cause health issues and property damage.

Is it illegal to remove birds?
It depends on the species. Most birds are protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act which makes it illegal to remove them or their nests while they are active. We can identify the species and advise on the legal removal process.

How do birds get into my house?
Birds often enter through dryer vents bathroom exhaust fans damaged soffits and unscreened chimneys. They are looking for a safe protected place to build their nests.

Can I remove the nest myself?
It is not recommended. If the nest is active it may be illegal to remove it. Nests can also contain parasites like bird mites and the removal process can release harmful dust and spores.

What if there are babies in the nest?
If we find an active nest with eggs or young birds of a protected species we must wait until they have fledged and left the nest before we can remove it and seal the entry point.

How do you keep them from coming back?
We install high-quality vent covers screens and bird spikes to physically prevent birds from landing or nesting in vulnerable areas. We also seal any other potential entry points.
