Birds

Birds belong to the classification Aves and are warm-blooded vertebrates distinguished by their feathers, lightweight skeletons, beaked jaws, and egg-laying abilities. Specific colors and patterns for birds depend on the exact species, but most are easily distinguished based on these characteristics. There are many species of birds worldwide and across the United States, but some species tend to flock around human structures leading to infestation issues.

Bird species that you need to keep an eye out for include pigeons, European starlings, house sparrows, and finches. Each species can settle around human structures in large numbers and cause problems over time.

Though many people regard birds as nothing more than a nuisance, these pests can be dangerous to host around your property. Most birds spread serious illnesses such as histoplasmosis, meningitis, and salmonella. You can contract these diseases by contact with the bird, their droppings, or the contaminated areas they have passed through.

Furthermore, birds carry parasitic pests on them, like fleas, ticks, and mites, and they will drop these pests off around your property. Over time, parasitic pest infestations will grow and present their own health and safety risks.

There is also a chance of birds attacking, destroying your items as they roost, leaving behind droppings, and triggering allergic reactions or breathing issues when infestations are left untreated around your property. Bird control is necessary to avoid these negatives.

Easy food, water, and shelter can trigger a bird problem on your property. One of the best bird control methods you can follow is evaluating your property for these areas and eliminating factors that may make it desirable to birds.

Birds typically settle around the exterior areas of your property and can be seen on flat, elevated surfaces, as these provide prime spots for nesting. They may also inhabit trees, rooftops, and attics if they can find their way inside.
