A common occurrence in urban and suburban areas alike, many species of birds are enjoyed by spectators going about their daily routine. Birds can add a lot of enjoyment to the outdoor experience, but sometimes they cause trouble. Birds like gulls, pigeons, and woodpeckers have reputations for being a nuisance, due to their behavior patterns. If birds are getting a little too comfortable on your property and causing a ruckus in an otherwise peaceful outdoor experience, call Wildlife X Team® Fort Worth at 817.857.4803 to learn more about Fort Worth's bird population and how to address each issue properly.

Are Birds Really a Nuisance or Danger?

Birds are an important part of the environment, but when they are too close for comfort, do not approach them. Different bird types can be carriers of fatal diseases.

Are There Birds in my Attic?

Similar to bats, if birds are nesting in your attic, you may hear fluttering, scratching sounds, or chirping noises. However, birds typically make the most noise in the early morning. As Spring comes around, you may noticed increased activity near and around potential entry points.

Bird Problems

It’s hard to imagine these small, winged creatures being a problem. As a business owner or resident, a bird doesn’t seem like a serious threat. After all, they seem innocent and unassuming enough—yet the truth is that bird damage costs the US tens of millions of dollars each year. Birds are known to be a serious threat to businesses all across the nation. They can cost you money, time, and customers. That can be hard to believe, but they pose a real threat to businesses. Here are just some of the problems they can cause.

  • They're Unsanitary

If you’ve walked through a city street, odds are that you’ve spotted large amounts of pigeon droppings on the sidewalk. It’s normal to feel revolted at the sight, as the droppings are filthy. Left unattended, birds will do something similar to your business—they will make it appear filthy by leaving their droppings outside.

That may not seem that bad to you, but it can have a serious effect on how the customer perceives your business. It will tarnish your brand and could make your offices appear less-than-professional. This sort of negative reaction could cost you many customers, and it could make the difference between a successful business and a failed one.

  • They Spread DiseasesBird Control

Birds host several diseases and parasites, including:

Just by being near your offices, birds can spread their diseases to you, your employees, and your customers. While many of these diseases aren’t fatal, they can still spell plenty of trouble, including decreased productivity due to sick staff.

These diseases can infect you, your family, and your pets. Direct contact with the bird isn’t the only problem either, as birds will leave their infected droppings all over your home. This could find its way into your food, leading to food poisoning and even more serious illnesses.

You may also stumble upon droppings, and might get sick by just being near the infected waste. Either way, getting sick will make your life more difficult and stressful, so it’s best to stay clear of the birds.

  • They Damage Your Home

Birds are quite well-known for their droppings, but not as much when it comes to the damage to your home that they're responsible for. Some birds, like woodpeckers, could cost you thousands of dollars in repairs after they damage your walls. Other birds could destroy your home with their droppings, whose corrosiveness will slowly eat away at your roof.

Birds can also ruin your home by building nests, as unobtrusive as the act seems. Their nests can end up blocking drainage systems, and it could collapse your roof. They may also build their nests in your chimney, which is a fire hazard to your home if you use your fireplace not knowing these nests are in your chimney. 

  • They Ruin Your Things

Numerous air conditioning units have met their end thanks to these pests. They can peck it till it dies. They can leave their droppings to clog up the filters. They can even get their feathers stuck inside the machine. All in all, birds can give your air conditioning unit a quick death. These flying pests can also ruin your car. Who knows how many paint jobs they’ve ruined with their droppings? You’ll also have to spend more time cleaning your car because of their droppings.

How Can We Help?

We’re here to solve your bird problem, and to put an end to the damage they do. We’re dedicated to keeping your family, your home, and your things safe and secure. We follow a series of steps to control your bird problem:

1. We’ll start our work by investigating your home. This will give us a good idea of where the birds live, where they get their food from, and what parts of your home they like to visit.

2. Once we’ve figured out where the birds live and their behavior, we start the bird removal process. We occasionally use live traps to capture and relocate the birds. We also repair any holes the birds could use to get inside your building. 

3. Our job is to prevent any of this from happening again. We focus on handling all your wildlife problems so that you can focus on doing your important work. We will then add preventative measures to ensure the birds do not return. This includes habitat modification. We will use bird spikes, bird nets, and other measures to discourage birds from finding interest in your property. These will make the birds leave on their own terms and will guarantee your home is safe and secure. We will also conduct bird nest removal in the area and will do our best to fix up your chimney and repair other damage.

If you happen to have a dead bird in your home, we will clean up and resolve that issue as well.
