Birds are one of the most important animals in our ecosystem. They eat insects and other small pest animals like rodents, helping to manage these populations. Birds also help plants and trees by spreading seeds and pollen. Because of their importance, many birds are protected by state and federal regulations so they continue to thrive.

Yet birds also create many challenges for property owners. They nest inside homes, leave droppings wherever they go, and are known spreaders of diseases. They may also get into trash, hassle customers, and make loud and distracting noises.

NY and NJ Animal Trappers is a wildlife control company that can prevent and remove any of the birds that commonly invade properties in NYC and NJ, and keep them away. Get started with a quote by calling us today at 646-741-4333.

The Risks of Birds in Your Property

The majority of bird invasions happen out of sight. Birds nest in attics and unfinished ceilings, under solar panels, in walls, and in outdoor architectural features. This means that they can often nest for long periods of time, letting the damage they cause build up over time.

Even if birds do not live on your property, they may find it their preferred place to congregate. They land on lights, outcroppings, and railings, where they leave droppings and hassle visitors. Birds may be an important part of nature, but when they’re on your property they cause:

• Unattractive Droppings – Bird droppings will collect around a bird’s nest or frequent landing place, coating walls, ledges, and the ground beneath. The result is an unattractive scene that requires frequent cleaning.
• Disease – In addition to being unsightly, droppings can contain diseases like avian influenza (known as bird flu), salmonella, E. coli, and avian tuberculosis, all of which can be transmitted to humans.
• Parasites – Birds can bring mites, fleas, and ticks to the places where they nest, which can then jump to people or pets and also carry additional risk of disease.
• Corrosion – Droppings have a corrosive effect on paints, construction materials, and even metals. If they collect on a surface, the droppings can eat through it.
• Clogged Drains and Vents – A bird nest in a drainage system can lead to floods. Nests can also be found in vents where they limit airflow.
• Fire Risk – Birds often nest in warm places, making electrical equipment a prime location. The buildup of flammable nesting materials can lead to a fire if there is a spark.
• Noise and Mess – Some birds, like crows and pigeons, are scavengers that may try to feed on your trash, or even hassle customers. Most birds can also make loud noises, especially if they live in your property.

All birds carry risks, and depending on the species and the number of birds, it becomes important to make sure you address these issues with a trained bird control company in NY that can get rid of birds fast.

Birds We Remove at Animal Control NYC

While there are many bird species native to New Jersey and New York that are beneficial to the local environment, there are others that most often invade homes and businesses. Some of these species are invasive. Others have started to coexist more closely with humans and rely on us for food.

We can handle any type of bird infestation, but some of the most common species in the area include:

• Pigeons
• Sparrows
• Woodpeckers
• Owls
• Starlings
• Swallows and More

In addition to nesting, noise, and droppings, some of these birds can cause additional problems that require even more urgent removal. For instance, woodpeckers can cause damage to siding if they start pecking your house. Carnivorous owls will leave owl pellets of indigestible animal bones and fur around their nests. These are all issues that can be distressing for property managers.

Our Bird Removal Techniques

Birds may pose a challenge for any type of property. We service both residential and commercial properties with bird removal, deterrent, and exclusion solutions. With a variety of industry leading techniques available for the types of properties, we choose the method that will be effective within your budget.

Residential Bird Removal

A bird invasion in your home is often an unpleasant, and sometimes alarming surprise. If not removed, it can also be risky and costly. Our residential bird control services can safely remove animals that have nested in or around your home. Through exclusion, we can also install the physical barriers that prevent them from coming back, and we can use deterrents that will prevent birds in the future. We provide:

• Solar Panel Bird Removal
• Bird Nest Removal
• Dead Bird Removal and Cleanup, and More

For bird removal, we vary our methods depending on the species of bird present. Many are live trapped and removed to a safer outdoor habitat whenever possible. We are also able to clean out their nests and droppings, and repair any damage they may have caused.

Commercial Bird Removal

Birds at your place of business are more than just a threat to the health of your employees and customers. They can also cause significant financial ramifications. Birds and their unsightly droppings can give customers a negative perception of your business, prompting them to go elsewhere. Birds can also contaminate food products, damage machinery, and result in penalties for health code violations.

We have solutions to exclude birds from retail stores, warehouses, factories, and more, both on the inside and outside of the property. We use physical deterrents like bird spikes, bird netting, and sloped panels that keep birds from landing and nesting in areas that otherwise attract them. We also seek out any entry points and seal them.

There are also options for deterrents using sound, fake predators, or reflective surfaces that can be installed around your building. These make your property unattractive to birds, preventing them from coming nearby.

Why Choose Animal Control NYC?

Bird removal should not be attempted by those without experience. The dangerous pathogens in droppings require proper protective gear and larger birds like owls can cause injuries when not carefully handled. Additionally, there are regulations that prohibit certain methods of removing birds, and often sealing one small space isn’t enough to keep them away.

At Animal Control NYC, we have the knowledge and experience necessary to handle every species of bird that can invade your home or business. With removal, exclusion, and clean up services, we can ensure your property is protected and safe for family or customers.

When you work with Animal Control NYC to keep your property protected from bird invasions, we offer:

• Experienced technicians that know how to safely handle birds and properly exclude them.
• 24 hour service every day of the year so you can get help fast when you need it.

We serve residential and commercial properties in NYC, Brooklyn, Staten Island, Queens, Long Island City, and many townships in central New Jersey. When you need us most, we’ll be there to help.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bird Removal

Q: How much does it cost to have birds removed from my property?
A: There are many factors that go into pricing, so every property can be different. For instance, how many birds on the property, the size of the area, and what type of exclusion is necessary will all impact the price. Please give us a call so that we can discuss options and provide a free quote.

Q: A bird is flying around my home right now. How soon can I get help?
A: We have services available 24 hours a day 365 days a year. If a bird is currently putting your or your home in danger, give us a call immediately.

Q: Are permits needed to remove or kill birds?
A: Species of pigeons, starlings, and sparrows do not require any permits, but many other species do in order to be killed, trapped, or removed. This includes handling their nests. Because of these regulations, it is important to turn to a professional wildlife control company for bird removal.

Q: Is your bird control humane?
A: It is. We are a humane wildlife control company, so we do not kill animals whenever possible. Instead we return them to an outdoor environment.

Q: How do birds transmit disease?
A: Most avian-borne illnesses are transmitted through droppings. When a human comes in contact with dropping, ingests a food item that has come in contact with droppings, or inhales airborne particles from dried droppings, any pathogens can be transferred.

Q: I’m not sure if I have a bird invasion or something else. Can you check?
A: Of course. We are experts in all the wildlife invasions that happen in area homes and businesses. Whether you are dealing with birds – or any another animal – we can safely remove them.
