Our Bird Control Process
Bird-related problems can significantly impact your business, from droppings corroding paint to nests obstructing vents and posing fire hazards. The Terminix Anderson team creates customized removal plans tailored to your needs to protect your business from avian disruptions. Here’s how our specialists will create a personalized bird control strategy for your business:
- Inspection: We start with thoroughly inspecting your property, identifying bird species, and determining why they are attracted to your business. Following local, state, and federal regulations, we will create a customized removal and exclusion plan for your specific birds.
- Cleaning and disinfection: Cleaning and disinfecting areas affected by birds is important to curb the spread of pathogens. Depending on the extent of your bird problem, this may need to happen multiple times.
- Treatment: We will implement bird control treatments specifically for your problem birds. Once a plan is in place, we will quickly implement the agreed-upon measures. Our strategic and efficient treatments often include targeted treatments and preventive measures. Throughout this process, we prioritize clear communication.
- Prevention: Our focus isn’t just on removal; we also take measures to prevent birds from settling on your property. We will implement exclusion measures such as bird harassment measures and deterrents to keep birds from disrupting your business in the future.
Bird Control Methods
Depending on several factors such as the bird species, the location of your property, the time of year, and more, we may recommend a combination of techniques, including:
- Bird netting and exclusion: We will use nets and other physical barriers to stop birds from accessing certain areas.
- Tactile or sensory ledge deterrents: bird spikes, bird wire, bird spiders, or tactile gel installed on ledges can prevent birds from landing.
- Live trapping and removal: Removing and relocating birds by placing traps in common areas.
- Video or audio deterrents: Installing visual or auditory deterrents, including effigies, decoys, firework sound effects, or recorded bird distress calls to scare birds away.
- UV repellent: Ultraviolet repellents reflect light and deter birds; we may also incorporate olfactory and tactile deterrents.
- Olfactory repellents: Deploying fogging, misting, or other olfactory (smell-based) repellents will irritate birds without causing harm.
- Sanitation and disinfection: Removing bird droppings and nesting materials can discourage birds from returning and maintain a clean environment.
- We always ensure the birds are removed humanely.
The Importance of Bird Control
Birds can do a lot of damage if left to their own devices. Professional bird control is important to prevent many different issues, such as the following:
- Health issues associated with birds. Birds can spread several diseases and cause air quality concerns as well, especially for individuals who are allergic to their dander.
- Safety concerns. Bird droppings can spread disease and potentially cause slip-and-fall injuries. Birds can even cause construction delays if they settle in the wrong place.
- Damage to property, structures, and equipment. Bird droppings can corrode surfaces like paint and even metal, causing damage and aesthetic concerns. Bird nests can clog gutters and drains.
- Secondary pest concerns. Birds may attract other pests, such as mice and flies. Their droppings and nests can be appealing food sources for these secondary pests.
- Noise problems. Birds can be very noisy, which can distract your employees and open you up to noise complaints from neighbors.
Addressing these issues with the help of a professional bird control team can help save you time and money while protecting you, your people, and your property from birdborne illnesses.
