Bird populations in the state of New Jersey typically range between six different species. Most people do not think of birds as being a nuisance, but when they begin to make your home or business their own, they can interfere with any and everyone’s life in the area. The New Jersey bird control experts at Bird Doctor explain bird nests can clog gutters and cause water to back up, or clog ventilation systems potentially creating a fire hazard. Their droppings not only create an unsightly mess but they can pose serious health risks. Establishing bird control in New Jersey requires various approaches. For the most success, a professional assessment can help you alleviate your bird problem. To protect your New Jersey home or business against pest birds, you need to learn about the behavior of this pest, take steps for prevention, and find effective treatment options should an infestation occur.

How to Identify Birds in New Jersey

There are five common species of birds in the New Jersey area, the house sparrow, the European starling, the feral pigeon, the cliff swallow, and the seagull. Depending on where pest birds decide to nest determines the type of problem you may encounter on your property. For example, seagulls are known to be aggressive birds when they are on the hunt for food. In multiple areas of New Jersey, seagulls have the potential to gather in large flocks even in areas not directly on the beach. The New Jersey bird control experts at Bird Doctor explain their droppings can cause damage to rooftops, erosion to boats, or damage to street lamps. Another popular example is the house sparrow, who build their nests in or on residential buildings, or wherever there is human habitation. These areas could be light fixtures, awnings, electrical boxes, and gutters. House sparrows have even been known to fly inside open doors or loading docks to nest inside buildings.

When Are Birds Present in New Jersey?

Although many birds have the habit of flying to warmer climates during the winter months, there are some species in New Jersey that do not migrate, explains Thomas, Bird Doctor’s Branch Manager. Because of this, having a problem with pest birds can be a year-round issue. One example is pigeons, who are capable of withstanding winter, making it unnecessary for them to seek out warmer climates. The more pest birds make an area home, the more bird droppings they leave. Not only do their droppings create an unsightly mess and an unprofessional image for a business, but in a warehouse setting, some birds can ruin valuable inventory and pose a health threat to humans.

Many diseases are linked to birds and their droppings. When the dried droppings are disturbed they release infectious spores into the air carrying the bacteria and fungi that can be easily inhaled. Bird Doctor experts explain some of these infections are histoplasmosis, a fungal lung illness that can lead to chronic respiratory problems. Other illnesses come from the parasites in the droppings and spread to humans such as Toxoplasmosis. In some cases, illnesses like viral meningitis and encephalitis can be spread to humans from birds by other infected pests, like mosquitoes or mites.

How to Control Birds in New Jersey

Pest bird control success may involve various methods and a variety of deterrents. The most common physical deterrents are bird spikes and netting. The New Jersey bird control experts at Bird Doctor explain the netting method involves creating a barrier between the bird and the place it’s made its nest. The barrier works all year long to prevent birds from returning. Sometimes using a high angled deterrent makes landing difficult to discourage bird perching. The New Jersey bird control experts at Bird Doctor recommend cleaning up any debris on your property because birds love areas that are littered with items they can easily pick up and use for their nests. Call Bird Doctor for a free estimate and our certified bird control experts will assess your home or business for access points such as ledges, window sills, cracks in wood, eaves, and holes in the roof where they can build their nests. Typically once they build their nests they plan to stay long term. The representatives at Bird Doctor explain ultimately the most effective bird control solution may require behavior modification. This means making your property inhospitable to birds so that they go somewhere else.
