Follow These Steps to Rid Yourself of Nuisance Birds
by Kevin Smith AuthorBirds
can be beautiful. They also can be a royal pain in the you-know-where. They can
destroy crops and plants, soil where they build nests, carry a host of diseases
and drive you nuts all day and night with their incessant chatter. If you have
a bird problem and need residential bird control in Long Island, NY, here are
some tips to hold you over until the exterminator gets there.
Survey the Suckers
The
more you know about your bird problem, the easier it will be to rid you of it.
Take notice of what type of bird, what attracts them to your property, if
possible, where they root or nest, exit and entrance points as well as where
they eat. Document all of this for review by your exterminator and for you to
assess if the efforts to rid your property of the nuisance birds is a success.
Remove and Address Attractions
Birds
rarely just stop by a property for a visit. Something attracts them to your
space. If you can figure that out and eradicate the attraction, you will go a
long way towards ridding yourself of the birds entirely. Look for nesting
places, feeding stations, garbage, nesting materials, etc. Also, look for bird
nests, fledglings, droppings and dead birds, which can attract other birds.
Install Early and Change It up
The
best time to get rid of birds is before they arrive for the season. Have your
deterrents in place before they get there and they will move on. If you are
using physical deterrents, mix it up and change them without altering their
sphere of influence. This will throw birds that do stay off guard and
eventually they will need. You also should survey your property and try and
figure out where the birds will go when you repel them from the trouble spot.
Head them off and make it clear moving on is the only option.
Use All Means Available and Necessary
Your
exterminator will come up with a viable bird removal strategy, but if your
problem is massive or persistent, you may have to brace yourself to a few
realities. Specifically, if the problem is bad enough, severe measures may be
necessary. Those can be relayed to you by your exterminator, but you should
know going in it is a possibility and make a decision if drastic measures are
acceptable.
Bird
lovers adore birds up and until they eat their favorite flowers, plants or
vegetables. For the rest of us, birds are nice to look at as long as they are
not a nuisance. If you are looking at residential bird control in Long Island, NY,
follow these steps to give you and your exterminator a head start in ridding
you of your bird problem.
