Bird Control in SW Missouri
Birds are pivotal to the natural environmental cycle; they help pollinate plants and keep insect, rodent, and fish populations down. Sometimes these birds become pests if they are too close to your home—or in it. Many bird species are protected by law, and as such, can't be removed legally. This is why you shouldn't attempt DIY bird capture and instead call Critter Control of SW Missouri.
What's the Most Common Bird Damage?
The three most common birds that are widely considered pests across the nation include starlings, house sparrows, and pigeons. Removal of these persistent birds can be difficult since once a population is established, they are quite stubborn. Destructive nesting habits like drilling holes into trees and home siding are often indicative of woodpeckers or sparrows. Birds are also known for leaving a big mess of materials used for nesting, often in attics. Common calls we receive from SW Missouri homeowners regarding bird control include:
- Eating agricultural products
- Nesting or roosting in human-inhabited structures, often accumulating nesting materials and feces
- Damage to home siding
- Noise, droppings, odor, and feathers—can all be hazardous to the health of your loved ones and pets
- Diseases or parasites affecting man, like histoplasmosis and cryptococcosis
So What's the Best Way to Get Rid of Birds?
We know keeping birds at bay is hard—they are mobile and usually create nests in high places that aren't easily accessible by humans. The best way to make sure birds aren't a problem for you is to keep them out, to begin with. Making your roof and home unattractive to them will effectively bird-proof your SW Missouri home or business.
