Bird Control in Adamsville, Alabama

Bird control in Adamsville is a service that commercial buildings need more often than homes. The older commercial structures along the main corridor have the ledges, eaves, and signage where pigeons and sparrows roost. The homes with covered porches and open eaves see sparrow nesting in the spring.

The problem with birds is the mess. Bird droppings are acidic and damage roofs, siding, and HVAC equipment. Nests clog gutters and vents. Bird droppings attract flies and can carry mites, fleas, and disease. A small flock roosting on a commercial building can cause thousands of dollars in damage over a season.

Signs you have a bird problem in Adamsville

• Birds roosting or nesting on the ledges, eaves, signage, or porch beams.
• Bird droppings accumulating on the roof, the sidewalk, the equipment, and the vehicles below.
• Nests in gutters, vents, soffits, and under eaves. Sparrows and starlings build bulky nests that clog drainage.
• Mites and flies — bird nests attract bird mites, which can enter the building, and flies, which breed in the droppings.
• Noise — a large flock roosting on a building produces a constant cooing and flapping sound.

Why Adamsville buildings get birds

The older commercial buildings in Adamsville have the flat ledges, the protected eaves, and the signage that birds prefer for roosting. The lack of natural predators in the downtown area makes the roosts safer. The buildings near restaurants and food service have the food sources that attract pigeons.

Sparrows and starlings nest under the eaves and in the soffits of both commercial and residential buildings. The older homes with covered porches and open eaves are prime sparrow nesting sites in the spring.

How we control birds in Adamsville

1. Inspect. A technician identifies the bird species, the roosting sites, and the nesting areas. The solution depends on the species.
2. Install spikes. Bird spikes are installed on the ledges, the roof edges, and the signage where birds land. The spikes make the surface uncomfortable to land on.
3. Install netting. Netting is installed to exclude birds from large areas like loading docks, courtyards, and open eaves.
4. Install deterrents. For problem species like pigeons, deterrent systems including wire and shock track may be used.
5. Clean and monitor. The droppings are cleaned, and the exclusion is monitored to confirm the birds do not find a new roost.

Bird control costs in Adamsville

Preventing birds in Adamsville

• Install spikes on ledges. Spikes are the most cost-effective solution for ledges and roof edges.
• Seal the eaves and soffits. Sparrows and starlings nest in open eaves. Sealing them prevents nesting.
• Cover the vents. Birds nest in gable vents and dryer vents. Install a vent cover or mesh.
• Keep the food sources clean. Restaurants should keep the dumpster area clean and sealed.
• Remove old nests in winter. Removing old nests discourages re-nesting in the spring.

Expert tip: In Adamsville, the pigeon problem on the commercial buildings is always worse where the dumpsters are left open. Pigeons roost on the ledges above a reliable food source, and they are not going anywhere while the food keeps coming. Clean the dumpster area and spike the ledges, and the flock moves on.

Yes. The materials we use — spikes, netting, and deterrents — are non-toxic and do not damage the building. The installation is designed to blend in with the structure.
