Bird infestations can be a serious problem for both residential and commercial properties. Common birds like pigeons, sparrows, and starlings can cause damage to buildings, create unsanitary conditions, and pose health risks through their droppings. At Metrovan Pest Control, we specialize in safe, effective bird control solutions for properties across Metro Vancouver, ensuring your space is protected from these avian invaders.
Why Bird Control is Important
Birds may seem harmless, but in large numbers, they can cause serious issues. Here are some reasons why bird control is essential:
- Health Risks: Bird droppings carry harmful bacteria, fungi, and parasites, leading to diseases such as histoplasmosis, salmonella, and E. coli.
- Structural Damage: Accumulated droppings can erode building materials, leading to costly repairs. Birds may also damage roofs, gutters, and ventilation systems while nesting.
- Contamination: Birds can contaminate food products, water sources, and equipment, especially in commercial spaces, posing health risks to employees and customers.
- Fire Hazards: Birds often nest in chimneys, vents, or other areas, creating fire hazards by blocking airflow or catching fire themselves.
Common Problem Birds in Vancouver
In the Metro Vancouver area, the most common birds that cause problems are:
- Pigeons: Known for their large populations in urban areas, pigeons can be difficult to manage due to their persistence and ability to thrive in city environments.
- Sparrows: These small birds often nest in cracks, vents, and other small spaces in buildings.
- Starlings: Starlings often gather in large flocks and can cause significant noise, mess, and structural
MetroVan Pest Control’s Bird Management Solutions
At MetroVan Pest Control, we offer comprehensive bird control services tailored to your specific needs. Our approach includes a combination of humane methods and preventative measures to ensure long-term protection from bird infestations.
1. Bird Exclusion
We install bird deterrents such as netting, spikes, and wires to keep birds from landing and nesting on your property. These solutions are effective, discreet, and designed to blend into your building’s structure without detracting from its appearance.
2. Habitat Modification
Birds are attracted to areas where they can find food and shelter. We assess your property for potential attractants, such as open garbage bins or easy access to nesting sites and recommend changes to reduce the chances of birds returning.
3. Nest Removal
Removing bird nests is critical to eliminating existing infestations. Our team safely removes nests and takes preventive measures to stop birds from returning to nest in the same area.
4. Bird Trapping and Relocation
For severe infestations, we use safe and humane trapping methods to capture and relocate birds to more appropriate environments. This is typically done for species protected under wildlife laws to ensure compliance with local regulations.
