BIRD EXCLUSION

BIRD EXCLUSION AND BIRD CONTROL IN AUBURN

Birds are not typically considered to be “pests” or “wildlife” that need to be controlled or removed, but bird exclusion needs are common in both residential and commercial settings.  

Our Bird Exclusion Process

Our team will visit your residential or commercial property to assess the bird situation and gather information. Depending on the problem, type of bird and type of property, our team will develop a plan to efficiently, humanely and permanently control and remove nuisance birds.  

BIRD SPIKE

OPTICAL GEL

Bird has found a place to land and shelter on structures such as a roof or shaded platform

EXLUDE AREA WITH NETTING

Are Birds Harmful?

BIRDS AND PROPERTY DAMAGE

Birds cause tens of millions of dollars’ worth of damage annually in the United States. Birds are known to damage buildings, vehicles, roofs, machinery, ventilation systems and more. Damage is typically caused by bird droppings or nests.  

  

Bird droppings are extremely acidic and can corrode various materials including tar-based roofing materials. This corrosion can cause leaks and even collapse.  

  

Some birds, including pigeons, sparrows and starlings, build nests in rain gutters and drains. These nests can block draining systems, leading to standing water and potential roof collapse. Nesting materials are also flammable – if birds build their nests inside electric signage or machinery, the risk of fire increases significantly.  

Birds Can Spread Disease

Birds are known to have more than 40 types of parasites and can host more than 60 types of infectious diseases. They can easily spread disease because they travel across great distances. While most humans don’t interact with birds often, pigeons, starlings and sparrows are common in urban areas and can pose health risks to people.   

Contamination

Food and water sources can be contaminated by bird feces, causing food poisoning and other illnesses.

Symptoms

Fecal dust from bird droppings can be inhaled, causing flu-like symptoms.

Infection

Direct contact with bird feces in an open wound or cuts can cause infection.

Parasites

Birds can carry parasites like fleas, ticks and mites. If nuisance birds aren’t removed properly, these parasites could be left behind and may seek a new, human host.

Frequently Asked Questions

The most effective and permanent solution is professional bird exclusion. Go Pro Wildlife Removal inspects the property, removes existing nests and eliminates bird pheromones that draw birds back. We then install the appropriate deterrent, spikes, optical gel or netting, based on the species and how committed it is to the location. Go Pro is Bird Barrier certified, using proven, humane technologies designed to prevent birds from landing, roosting or nesting.

Most nuisance birds, including woodpeckers and chimney swifts, are protected under the Federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act, making it illegal to kill or disturb active nests without a federal permit, with violations resulting in fines up to $15,000 and up to six months in jail. Go Pro Wildlife Removal handles bird exclusion safely and legally using deterrents, exclusion barriers and timed removal methods that comply with all federal and state regulations. Do not attempt removal on your own, it is best to contact a certified professional.

Bird droppings are highly acidic and can corrode roofing materials, cause leaks and accelerate structural deterioration, while nests in gutters and drains block drainage and create roof collapse risk. Nesting materials inside electrical signage or machinery create a serious fire hazard. Birds also host more than 40 types of parasites and 60 infectious diseases, posing direct health risks to residents and building occupants.

The right solution depends on the bird’s behavior: spikes deter casual perching, optical gel discourages birds that have found a landing or sheltering spot but have not yet nested and netting is the most permanent option used when birds have fully committed to nesting in an area. Go Pro Wildlife Removal will assess your specific situation and recommend the appropriate solution.
