"I’m a land lord of 72 residential properties and the biggest head ache other than common upkeep was the constant battle with roaches and insects inside the units, I had Triple B come out and put their pest control infused insulation at 10 of my properties and within 3 weeks the tenants were in shock at how affective it was, they went from seeing them everyday to hardly ever, I ended up getting them to do all my units and also my own house, this will be a must at any property I ever purchase, highly suggested for new home owners/buyers"

. We work to preserve local wildlife and your property, with tried and true methods that are actually humane. After a top to bottom inspection of your home, we'll make a wildlife prevention plan, get the animals back outside, then wildlife proof the structure. Wildlife proofing is the number one factor in preventing wildlife entry, not the trapping and removal of animals from their territory. We'll seek a genuine solution to your problem that affects local wildlife as little as possible. Want to learn more about wildlife? Ask about out Educational Wildlife and Falconry Programs!

Bird Control questions, answered by experts

Look for goose repellents that contain the ingredient methyl anthranilate. This is a natural chemical found in grape juice. In human food, it’s often used as grape flavoring. With geese, it’s highly irritating. Grape Kool-Aid contains methyl anthranilate, the active ingredient in most bird repellents. It won’t harm geese, but it will deter them.

You can find a variety of humane bird repellent sprays online and at home improvement stores. However, if you want to try a DIY method that will keep birds away without harming them, mix some water, dish soap, and a few drops of peppermint oil and spray the area you want bird-free. Peppermint oil is a notoriously lovely smell for humans, but birds tend to avoid it.

Both spikes and loose nets can be installed over nest sites to prevent the bird from returning, but nets are not a humane option since birds and other wildlife can get tangled in them. 

Spikes are a humane alternative that deter nesting without harming the birds. In small areas, like vents, a very fine mesh net can be installed to prevent the bird from returning. These nets don't generally pose a risk to the birds.

Pest control and wildlife removal are different services. Pest control specialists typically handle insects and bugs, often using chemicals and poisonous sprays for extermination. Wildlife removal professionals, on the other hand, focus on larger animals. They prioritize humane methods like trapping and relocation, using poison only as a last resort. For insect problems, contact a pest control professional; for issues with other animals, an animal or wildlife removal specialist is the correct choice.

In most cases, a mother bird will return to a disturbed nest after the disturbance has passed. However, it can be hard for a mother bird to find a relocated nest. So, while it’s false that a mother bird will abandon her nest if it’s been disturbed, it’s not a good idea to relocate a nest with live babies or eggs in it.
