Feathered Neighbours – Summertime Birds Nesting On Your Property
Have you been discovering bird droppings across your property? If that has been happening, you should have a Canadian professional pest control company complete an inspection and suggest the best way to get rid of birds. Though pleasant to have near your home, birds such as pigeons, house sparrows and starlings can pose a health threat. They carry a long list of infectious diseases, which can become a major problem in both private and commercial properties. But, how can you tell you have a problem with wild birds?
Look for Signs of Birds Nesting
There are numerous ways to detect birds on your property. Most obvious would be the feces and feather residue. Bird feces can create moisture and mold problems in the ceiling area and around the roofs since birds look for poorly maintained roofs to get inside attics. Others, like starlings and sparrows, will build nests on roofs and along the roof lining. You will mainly find the signs of bird presence near air ducts and venting systems, pipes, exhaust fans, beams, exterior lights and signage. All of these are areas which are convenient for birds to build nests due to their shape.
When inspecting the property for bird presence, also pay attention to the presence of eggs and chicks, this is a definite sign that a bird nest is near. Upon the discovery of birds, the best thing to do next is to call a pest control expert for your property.
