Managing nuisance birds can be a significant challenge for businesses. They create unsightly messes, disrupt customers, and create potential health concerns.

Pigeons and seagulls are two of the most problematic species, particularly in urban cities. Several factors contribute to their persistence:

  1. Pigeons normally feed on grains and seeds, but have adapted to human environments by foraging for discarded food and trash.
  2. Pigeon’s peak breeding occurs between March and July, however, with a consistent food source, they can reproduce throughout the entire year.
  3. Seagulls are fiercely territorial and instinctively return to the same nesting sites each year, making them difficult to relocate once established.
  4. These birds also have exceptionally long lifespans—seagulls can live up to 40 years and continue breeding throughout their lives.

An increase in bird nests around your property could be an early sign of a growing infestation. If you think professional bird control may be necessary, contact Terminix Anderson.

Initial control strategies

The best way to keep birds away long-term is by limiting their access to food. However, in many business environments, this isn’t always a practical solution.

If birds are becoming an issue on your property, try these strategies:

  • Prevent nesting by installing barriers on window ledges and other frequent roosting areas.
  • Keep food sources out of sight to reduce attraction.
  • Secure trash can lids properly and avoid leaving garbage bags exposed.
