"Had Wingman handle a bird situation with our bathroom exhaust vent. Starlings were attempting to nest in our vent, so Craig was able to place small guards over our two separate bathroom vents (over our louver style caps) to keep anything out going forward. From the start Ruthie was very responsive to my initial request for service and Craig followed up with the actual work here at our house. Very efficient process from start to finish and very reasonably priced for the service. Would definitely recommend Wingman Pest Control for their professionalism and quality of service."

"I contacted Jason by phone. After viewing good reccomendations on Angie's List and getting recommendations from other pest control companies that don't do trapping. Jason was polite and professional. He gave me a two hour window of when he would come to the house. He was there right on time. He set up two traps and spent a good deal of time explaining a lot about skunks. Most importantly how to avoid attracting them in the future.  The first night we caught a opossum. We called Jason and he came and released him for no additional charge. He moved one of the traps where there were fresh markings. By the next night we had our stinky visitor.  I once again called Jason, we agreed on a time for him to come over. He had the skunk removed before he even knocked on the door. I have to say I hope we never have another resident skunk but if we do Accurate Wildlife Eviction would be the company I would call."

"This was our second time working with Steve from Pest EZ for pest control (the first time was our yellow jacket infestation two years ago) and we can't say enough good things. He is extremely thorough, explanatory, and overall great to work with. He helped us identify where the mice were coming from, set out poison traps, and he even managed to catch a rogue mouse. We feel so confident working with him and Pest EZ that we recommend their service to anyone and everyone. Thank you Steve and Pest EZ!!!!!!"

Bird Control questions, answered by experts

Using audio and visual methods to discourage birds might work initially, but birds tend to acclimate to them over time. While chemical deterrents can show some effectiveness, their results can be inconsistent. Some may dissipate too quickly, and there's a risk they might cause unintended damage to your surroundings. Additionally, birds might become immune or resistant to the impact of such treatments.

The lifespan of a bird's nest depends on the species. The building process can take from two days to three weeks. Once built, the nesting period for baby birds can last from two to ten weeks before they leave the nest. While most young birds are ready in two to six weeks, some predatory species may need up to two and a half months. Some species nest four to five times per year, so a nest could remain in use for several months. For specific information about a particular nest's longevity, it is best to consult a wildlife professional.

To keep animals out, you must prevent them from entering. As long as they can get in, the problem will persist. That said, consider making your attic less inviting using deterrents like motion-activated lights or ultrasonic devices. Additionally, keeping a well-maintained, clean, and uncluttered attic that you regularly inspect for activity may make the space less attractive to critters.

It's advisable to avoid using harmful methods to eliminate birds. Poisoning birds is inhumane and can have unintended ecological consequences, affecting other wildlife and pets. Similarly, using firearms or other lethal means poses safety risks and could be illegal in many areas. Sticky substances like adhesives can cause birds to become trapped and injured. Lastly, playing excessively loud or distressing noises can stress birds and humans. Focusing on humane and environmentally responsible strategies is essential when dealing with bird issues.

When it comes to keeping birds from doing their business on your porch rails, you have several DIY options and home remedies you can try: 

  • Tie a fishing line from one end of the deck post to the other. Birds won’t be able to see the line across the railing, so they can’t land on it.  

  • Hang wind chimes close by, which may scare birds away. 

  • Apply a bird gel repellent to the railings, which contains smells that birds generally don’t like. Or, similarly, you can apply citronella or lemon oil around the railings, since birds don’t like strong smells.
