Bird Removal And Control

Are you experiencing a problem with birds around your home or business? Most people don’t think of birds as a nuisance until a problem occurs. Yes, birds can cause a lot of trouble, and when you are suddenly on the receiving end, it can give an altogether different perspective on our feathered friends. Bird control is sometimes a necessity, and here’s why.

Nuisance Bird Issues

Birds can be very destructive during their nesting activities. They often choose to build nests on or near our homes, and that is not a good thing, no matter how much we might enjoy observing them. These  creatures damage buildings and cause hazardous blockages in our eaves, gutters, vents, and chimneys. They interfere with HVAC systems, drains, and plumbing. Plus, they rip up wires and insulation and destroy other landscape components. Sometimes they invade our homes, getting into attics, basements, sheds, and garages.

The feeding habits of Birds can also be problematic. They decimate crops and gardens, destroy lawns, and cause mayhem with our cultivated vegetation. Then, of course, there’s the issue of their waste. Birds can defecate on everything, and that waste is highly corrosive and a serious health hazard. They spread terrible diseases like E. coli, salmonella, histoplasmosis, and ornithosis. And along with those pathogens comes a parade of parasites, including lice, ticks, and worms.

The Nuisance Birds of Missouri

We have several nuisance birds in Missouri. Many species of blackbirds and sparrows are a particular problem. They are guilty of the mischief mentioned above and tend to congregate in large numbers. The same can be said of starlings and pigeons. Interestingly, we seem to have only ourselves to blame for those last two. Starlings were intentionally introduced into our country by a Shakespeare fan simply because the Bard mentioned them offhandedly in a play. And pigeons were brought here on purpose as well. They were originally domesticated pets but quickly escaped captivity and formed feral populations.

While these bird species are the most common culprits in Missouri in terms of destruction, many other birds around can be a nuisance, including cowbirds, woodpeckers, grackles, and jays. It is also important to note that many species are protected by law despite the aggravation and expense they often cause. If you have an issue, trying to take matters into your own hands is not a good idea. Your best bet is the services of a licensed wildlife control professional, and you’ll find none better than SEMO Wildlife Control.
