BIRD PEST CONTROL & REMOVAL SERVICES

Pigeons, Canada geese, sparrows, and seagulls are considered nuisance birds and are becoming a significant problem for businesses and commercial facilities. Not only do these birds and others cause serious health problems for your employees and customers, they can decrease the value of your property, create costly repairs, and tarnish your company’s image and reputation. At Terminix Wil-Kil, we understand how destructive nuisance bird infestations can be to your company’s profits and bottom line, so we offer nuisance bird control as a unique service in conjunction with our ongoing IPM programs.

UNDERSTANDING THE NEED FOR BIRD CONTROL IN BUSINESSES

Birds may seem harmless, but their presence can quickly turn problematic. Pest birds can cause substantial damage to commercial properties. Their nests can block vents, gutters, and chimneys, leading to water damage, while their droppings deface buildings, walkways, and signage. Moreover, bird droppings are highly acidic, corroding metal and concrete, which results in costly repairs.

Beyond structural damage, pest birds pose health risks. Bird droppings often harbor pathogens like histoplasmosis, which can become airborne and cause respiratory problems in humans. Additionally, birds can carry mites and other parasites, leading to infestations that can affect your employees and customers.

Nuisance birds are also known to deter customers from entering your premises, especially when large flocks congregate in areas like ledges, rooftops, or parking lots. This can hurt your business’s reputation and deter potential clients. Addressing bird problems promptly is crucial to maintaining a clean, professional image and ensuring the safety of everyone on your property.

WIL-KIL’S HOLISTIC APPROACH TO BIRD CONTROL

We understand that every bird problem is unique at Terminix Wil-Kil, so we employ an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach tailored to each situation. Our bird control solutions are designed to be effective, humane, and long-lasting. We focus on preventing birds from becoming a problem in the first place rather than just reacting to infestations.

Our IPM approach involves a combination of methods that work together to create a bird-free environment. This includes dispersing agents, repellents, and mechanical exclusion techniques to deter birds from roosting and nesting on your property.

DISPERSING AGENTS

Dispersing agents are substances or devices that encourage birds to leave an area. These can include audio deterrents, such as distress calls or predator sounds, and visual deterrents, such as reflective tape, balloons, or Optical Gel that makes surfaces uncomfortable for birds to land on. These agents make the environment less appealing or more threatening, encouraging birds to find a new place to roost.

REPELLENTS

Bird repellents are another effective bird control solution. These come in various forms, including gels, sprays, and granules. Terminix Wil-Kil uses non-toxic, eco-friendly repellents that irritate the birds’ senses without harming them. For example, some gels create a sticky surface that birds dislike, preventing them from perching comfortably. These repellents are particularly useful for small, confined areas where other methods might be impractical.

MECHANICAL EXCLUSION

Mechanical exclusion is one of the most effective ways to prevent birds from accessing certain areas. This method uses physical barriers like bird netting, bird spikes, and wire mesh to block birds from nesting or roosting. Bird spikes are ideal for narrow ledges, signage, and other surfaces where birds commonly perch. Bird netting is more versatile and can cover larger areas like rooftops or courtyards. By physically preventing birds from accessing potential roosting sites, mechanical exclusion provides a long-term solution to bird infestations.
