How Do I Keep Birds From Pecking My house?
Bird Deterrence 101
Birds are fascinating creatures, bringing a touch of nature into our urban landscapes. However, when birds like starlings, woodpeckers, and chickadees start making holes and living in the siding of homes, they can cause significant damage. From Grass Valley to the Truckee and Lake Tahoe area we offer comprehensive wildlife control solutions to address these issues effectively. Our services not only remove existing problems but also prevent future occurrences, ensuring your home remains bird-free and in excellent condition.
Common Culprits: Starlings, Woodpeckers, and Chickadees
Starlings: Known for their adaptability and large flocks, starlings often peck at siding to create nesting sites. It is common to find starlings in dryer vents and other roof exhaust vents.
Woodpeckers: Commonly identified by their red head, everyone knows woodpeckers are notorious for pecking sometimes hundreds of holes and stuffing them with acorns. We see woodpecker problems from all elevations down to Penn Valley all around Lake Tahoe.
Chickadees: These small birds may also peck at wood and other materials to build nests, leading to potential damage to siding and insulation. We usually only see Mountain Chickadees causing damage in Truckee and the South Lake Tahoe area
Our Comprehensive Wildlife Control Services
Inspection and Assessment
We begin with a thorough inspection of your property to identify the extent of the damage and locate any nests. Our experienced technicians look for signs of bird activity, such as holes in the siding, droppings, and the sounds of birds.
Ensuring No Eggs or Chicks
Before any intervention, we ensure that there are no eggs or chicks present. This step is crucial to comply with wildlife protection regulations and to ensure humane treatment of the birds.
Sealing Holes
Once we confirm the absence of eggs or chicks, we seal the holes using durable materials that match your siding. This prevents birds from returning to the same spot.
Installing Intimidator Brand Deterrents
To discourage birds from approaching your home, we install Intimidator brand deterrents. These devices are effective at keeping various bird species at bay without harming them.
Applying Optical Gel Discs
Optical gel discs are another innovative solution we use. These discs create a visual and tactile deterrent that birds find unappealing, preventing them from landing or pecking at your siding.
Installing Exhaust and Dryer Vent Covers
Birds often target exhaust and dryer vents as potential nesting sites. We install sturdy covers to these vents, ensuring they remain bird-proof while maintaining their functionality.
Removing Old Nests and Cleaning
Finally, we remove any old nesting materials and thoroughly clean the affected areas. This step is vital to eliminate any residual odors or materials that might attract birds back to your home.
