Birds are generally quite noisy, so identifying an infestation in or around your home is easier than with other household pests. Knowing where to look will help. Places like under the eaves, gutters, in chimney stacks and on balconies are some of the common places where you’d expect to find nests. Inside your roof space is also a common spot, particularly for species such as pigeons.

There is no silver bullet solution for getting rid of birds and some are known to return to their previous habitat for nesting or because of easy access to food. Using a range of preventative measures around your home and garden, such as removing access to nesting sites, will help keep their numbers down. Appointing a qualified pest control operator, such as the experienced team at Super Clean Carpet Services, means effective and humane methods will be used to eliminate the problem.

Some bird species need very little shelter to build their nest, while others are small enough to get into your roof space for a protected spot. It’s not just the damage to your property that you need to worry about. Birds carry a range of diseases and the spores from their droppings can pose a serious health risk to humans. Some species, such as pigeons, carry ticks, fleas and bird mites and if these insects start to infest your home, then your problem has just increased ten-fold.
