Why Bird Control Matters

Birds may seem harmless, but they can cause a multitude of problems for commercial properties:

  • Health Risks: Birds are carriers of various diseases that can lead to respiratory issues, viral infections, and food poisoning, potentially endangering your employees and customers.
  • Property Damage: Bird droppings contain high levels of uric acid, which can corrode metal, paint, and other materials. This can result in costly repairs and maintenance.
  • Structural Issues: Nests and droppings can clog drains, potentially leading to roof collapse during heavy rainfall.
  • Safety Hazards: Droppings create slippery surfaces, increasing the risk of accidents on your property.
  • Business Image: The presence of birds and their droppings can negatively impact your company’s professional appearance and reputation.
  • Secondary Pest Problems: Bird nests can attract other pests, compounding your pest control issues.
  • Noise Disturbances: Large bird populations can create noise pollution, disturbing your business operations and neighboring properties.
  • Regulatory Concerns: Certain bird species are protected, requiring professional handling to meet compliance with local, state, and federal regulations.

How can I prevent birds?

The most simple and best, long-term way to prevent bird infestations is habitat modification. That means reducing the food, shelter, and water available to them in and around your home or business. There are a lot of common at-home methods of bird prevention, including the installation of exclusion devices (both physical and noise-based) on the parts of your home they’re most likely to roost or nest on, as well as bird screens.

Are birds dangerous?

Compared to many other pest animals, birds are not as likely to physically harm you via bites and similar physical ailments. However, their presence can cause a number of different problems. The longer a nest is allowed to develop, the harder it is to get it removed from your home or business. Bird droppings are the biggest culprit when it comes to problems. It can lead to the spread of disease and infections in people as well as staining, corroding, and general damage to home interiors. Their nests can also create fire hazards, clog drains, and lead to safety hazards. Some variety of pest birds can be very noisy, getting in the way of daily life or business.

Long story short: they’re not inherently dangerous, but they lead to a lot of problems that can cause dangerous situations.

Why do I have birds?

The usual answer to “why” someone has a specific pest bird is that their home or business is a good environment for them to thrive. Your home or business likely has the sort of standing water, food, trash, or ledges that attract birds.

Birds in South Carolina

While many birds are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty and Endangered Species Act, there are three specific species that are not due to their status as nuisance birds: pigeons, European starlings, and house sparrows. These particular birds are known for causing trouble anywhere they infest.

  • European starlings are medium-sized, around eight inches long, and have glossy black plumage with white speckling.
  • House sparrows are small, no more than six inches in length, and come in varied colors. Females are light brown and grey, while males have mostly dark grey bodies with rich brown, white, and black markings.
  • Pigeons are short, stout birds that, in general, range in length from 6 to 30 inches and .05 to 4.5 pounds. There are many different varieties, with a lot of different colorings, though most are fairly dull and range from white to various shades of grey and brown.
