Bird Control FAQs, answered by experts

Once the animals and their young are out of the house, remove the nest and locate any entry points. Some may be difficult to find because some animals can fit through very small holes. Once you’ve located as many entry points as possible, use materials such as metal or masonry to block off the entry. Ideally, you should choose materials that most animals cannot chew through. Create a one-way door or flap to allow animals to leave but not return. Additional methods include using repellants designed to make an area unappealing to the types of animals that find your home so inviting.

While not common, bird’s nests can cause problems to your property in some cases.

Block vents for your dryer, stove, and fans, creating a fire hazard
Clog gutters and drains, leading to roof and siding damage
Damage solar panels
Wiring issues if the nest is on or near a light fixture

Costs depend on infestation severity, business size, treatment type, and frequency of service.

Many different types of animals like to build nests in attics. The types may vary depending on your home’s condition and location and you can prevent them by sealing off entry points and eliminating food sources. The most common critters that like to build nests in your attic include:

Raccoons
Bats
Squirrels
Mice
Rats

Regular cleaning, proper food storage, sealing entry points, and professional inspections help prevent infestations.
