Frequently Asked Questions
Is bird control humane?
Yes. We use exclusion and deterrent methods that prevent birds from roosting or nesting without harming them. We do not use poisons or lethal methods for bird control.
What bird deterrents are most effective?
Physical exclusion using netting or point systems is the most effective long-term deterrent. Spikes, slopes, and ledge systems prevent birds from landing. The best method depends on the species, building type, and roosting location.
Can I clean up bird droppings myself?
Bird droppings can harbor harmful pathogens. Professional cleanup using proper PPE and EPA-registered sanitizers is recommended, especially for large accumulations. We offer complete cleanup and sanitization services.
Are starlings and sparrows protected?
European starlings and house sparrows are non-native species and are not protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Pigeons are also non-protected. Our technicians can advise on any species-specific regulations for your situation.
How long do bird deterrents last?
Quality physical deterrent systems can last 10+ years with minimal maintenance. We select commercial-grade products with UV-resistant materials for maximum durability in NJ's climate.
