Birds

While most birds are beneficial, certain species can become pests when they nest on or in buildings. Bird droppings can damage property and pose health risks.

Appearance

Common pest birds include pigeons (gray with iridescent neck feathers), starlings (dark with speckles), and house sparrows (brown with streaked backs).

Habitat

Pest birds often nest on ledges, in vents, under eaves, or in attics. They are attracted to areas with available food, water, and shelter.

Signs of Infestation

  • Bird droppings on buildings, walkways, or vehicles
  • Nesting materials in vents or gutters
  • Damaged insulation or building materials
  • Noise from birds in attics or walls

Prevention Tips

  • Install bird spikes or netting on ledges and potential roosting areas
  • Seal vents and openings with appropriate screening
  • Remove food sources, including open garbage
  • Modify structures to eliminate roosting sites
