The state of Pennsylvania is home to more than 400 species of birds, many of which frequent the Greater Pittsburgh suburb of Monroeville. While you may not think of birds as pests, they can quickly become a nuisance if they decide to nest on your property. Birds will weaken infrastructure by pecking at wooden beams and can spread dangerous diseases through both direct and indirect contact. Their chirping can also become a noise disturbance, keeping you and loved ones awake at all hours.
If you are dealing with nuisance birds on your Monroeville property, rely on the bird removal experts at Critter Control® of Pittsburgh to handle the job.
Common Signs of Nuisance Birds in Monroeville
Look for the following signs of birds on your Monroeville property:
- Birds Flocked Together: Seeing more birds flocked around your property than usual, especially if you don’t have a birdfeeder or birdbath, may be a sign that there’s a nest nearby. Pay extra attention if they flock in a particular spot, such as on your roof.
- Bird Droppings: Birds will leave droppings just about anywhere, including areas where they frequent. Most bird droppings will dry into a thick, white blot on the surfaces in which they land.
- Noise: Listen for chirps and other birdcalls, especially at dawn or dusk when most birds are active. Their sounds may be louder than usual if they’ve nested in your attic.
- Nesting Materials: Most birds make their nests out of materials found in nature, such as sticks, leaves and moss. However, birds that nest around urban or suburban areas will incorporate other elements, such as human hair, paper products, string and home insulation. Look for disturbed areas of insulation as well as any nesting materials piled up around your property.
Safe and Efficient Monroeville Bird Removal Services
While it’s natural to want to get rid of nuisance birds as soon as you find them, DIY bird removal isn’t always your best option. Many species of birds are protected, meaning there are regulations on how and when you can remove them. Instead of putting yourself at legal risk, it’s best to leave bird removal to the professionals.
At Critter Control® of Pittsburgh, our licensed and trained technicians use a four-step CritterSafe® method that’s both humane and effective. Our process includes:
- Inspection: Our team will conduct a walkthrough of your property to determine the size and extent of the bird problem.
- Removal: Using safe and humane methods, we’ll exclude the birds from your home or business.
- Exclusion: We’ll install chimney caps and vent screens to prevent birds from returning.
- Restoration: Any areas damaged by the birds are cleaned and restored.
