Identify Pest: Bird Problems and Getting Rid of Birds
Bird problems? Many different types of birds in the New York area are known to be “pests” and can cause property damage or unsanitary conditions. These include:
- Pigeons
- Sparrows
- Starlings
- Sea Gulls
- Crows and Ravens
- Swallows
- Geese
- Woodpeckers
Each bird presents its own unique set of biology, habits, impact, and Pest Management control rules and regulations.
For instance, Pigeon feces are highly corrosive and contain a host of bacteria and parasites that can cause histoplasmosis, toxoplasmosis, salmonella, encephalitis, and meningitis in people and pets. Their feathers and droppings can clog roof drains and impede machinery.
Woodpeckers can cause damage to a structure’s façade by pecking holes, and their nests can also cause damage by blocking vents, or electrical devices.
The Goose population in the New York area has been steadily growing. Once, strictly migratory, many Geese are “wintering” in this area because of abundant food and shelter. They can be aggressive, especially if they feel threatened. An average male can defecate as much as 3 pounds of feces per day. Goose feces are known to carry a host of diseases and parasites that are harmful to people and animals.
