Birds play an important role in the balance of our ecosystem. While perfectly suited for nature, birds that take over your property can bring disease, and leave messes of droppings that are difficult to clean. Our bird control services will inspect and identify your specific bird problem, come up with a solid plan for deterring and removal, and regularly check for signs of more.
Senske Bird Pest Control services can safely and effectively remove pest birds from your property. The three most common species of pest birds of concern to consumers are feral pigeons, English Sparrows, and the European Starlings. All three are considered an invasive species – not native to the United States – and have no natural enemies. Pigeons and other birds, inconveniently land and nest on tops of houses and buildings. In the case of pigeons, when one bird finds a suitable place to land, a flock shortly follows. Once pigeons have chosen your house or building as their new residence, it’s hard to get rid of them without using the help of a professional bird control service.
