Bird Control & Removal

Trapper Nicks Wildlife Control provides a variety of bird control and bird removal services for clients dealing with nesting or roosting nuisance birds. Some common methods of bird exclusion include installing exclusion devices on surfaces used by birds for roosting and loafing, plus using bird screening to prevent access to bird roosting and nesting sites. I will use techniques and products that are humane, efficient and effective to the target birds. The majority of calls I receive are birds nesting in dryer vents, chimneys, and exterior foyers. I do service the city of Chicago for pigeon control, clean up of waste, and nesting material. Listed below are the names of nuisance birds, the problems associated with them, and solutions.

Types of Illinois Birds and the problems they cause.

• Chimney Swift - Will nest in chimneys and go unnoticed until young are old enough to almost fly. Often heard flapping their wings and chirping when the adult arrives. Solution - Nest and young are removed and a chimney cap is installed.
• Starling - Builds nest in dryer vents, stove vents, and sometimes gets caught in water heater vent pipe. Solution - Clear all nesting material and young from either the dryer vent pipe, or stove pipe and place a guard over exterior vent.
• Swallow - Nest inside of exterior foyers above the front door of a home, leaving bird waste on the front door step. Solution - The only one permanent solution from this is installing bird netting.
• English Sparrow - English Sparrow are more of a problem for commercial properties, they get into business signs, and nest in any opening possible. Solution - A inspection of the problem will determine the best solution suited to your needs.
• Pigeons - Are the cause of multiple problems such as disease, fleas, and the corrosion to metal from droppings. Solution - A inspection will determine the best solution for your problem.                  

Bird Control Methods

I install a large variety of bird control devices and products to keep birds from roosting on ledges and nesting under canopies. To prevent clean-up costs and repairs of damage, effective bird control is essential. I  offer cost effective and animal-friendly solutions for protecting your industrial or Residential location keeping it clean and free of birds.

Protecting industrial sites and factories

In open, peripheral areas, industrial sites, factories and landfill sites attract birds searching for food and a safe haven for nesting. Birds can cause fire by building nests in ventilation shafts, leakage by clogging roof-gutters, compromise safety on-site, transmit diseases, and leave droppings that cause damage to products and equipment. 

Installing bid netting

Bird netting is a permanent solution in factories, warehouses, and outdoor canopies where birds can cause health concerns and leave behind bird dropping where their pedestrian traffic. A bird net in the upper of an exterior foyer will prevent swallows form nesting on the brick. Trapper Nicks Wildlife Control will do bird netting installation in commercial and residential settings.
