How to Keep Birds Away From Your Property

Pigeons on a sidewalk

Managing bird-related issues can be a significant challenge for businesses. Birds not only create unsightly messes and disrupt customers, but they may also pose various health concerns.

Pigeons and seagulls are among the most common culprits, especially in urban areas. Several factors contribute to the difficulty of bird control:

  1. Pigeons primarily consume grains and seeds, but have adapted to city life by scavenging leftover food and waste from trash bins.
  2. With a continuous food source, pigeons can reproduce throughout the year, and peak breeding is between March to July.
  3. Seagulls are highly territorial and tend to return to the same nesting sites each year, making long-term removal challenging.
  4. These birds have long lifespans, seagulls especially, as they can live up to 40 years and continue reproducing throughout their lives.

An increase in bird nests around your property could indicate a developing infestation. Looking for bird control solutions? Contact Schendel Pest Services.

Remove Their Interests

The best way to keep birds away long-term is to remove their food supply. However, in busy urban areas, this may not always be a practical option.

If birds are causing issues around your business, try these steps:

  • Restrict access to nesting spots by adding barriers to window ledges and similar areas.
  • Keep food sources out of sight to reduce attraction.
  • Secure trash can lids properly and avoid leaving garbage bags out in the open.
