Our Bird Exclusion Services Include
- Bird Netting – Installed over vulnerable areas like rooflines, canopies, loading docks, and signage, bird netting creates a physical barrier that prevents birds from entering or nesting in open or semi-enclosed structures. It’s highly effective for large-scale commercial buildings and warehouses.
- Bird Spikes – These blunt, stainless steel or plastic strips make surfaces uncomfortable for birds to land or roost on. Commonly installed on window ledges, beams, signs, and other flat surfaces, bird spikes are a discreet and humane deterrent ideal for high-visibility areas.
- Electric Track Systems – Low-profile electrified strips deliver a mild, harmless shock that conditions birds to avoid the treated surface. They are virtually invisible from a distance and are great for ledges, sills, parapets, and architectural features where aesthetics matter.
- Visual & Auditory Deterrents – These include reflective tape, predator decoys, and sound emitters that mimic distress calls or predator noises. Used to make the environment feel unsafe or uncomfortable for birds, these deterrents are often used in combination with physical barriers for maximum impact.
- Sanitation & Nest Removal – Bird droppings and nesting debris can lead to property damage, slip hazards, and health issues. Our team safely removes buildup and disinfects affected areas, reducing the risk of future infestations and maintaining compliance with health regulations.
Not All Birds Are Fair Game
Common Nuisance Birds in the St. Louis Area
- Pigeons (Rock Doves) Found on ledges, rooftops, and bridges. Their droppings are acidic and can damage building materials. Known to nest in HVAC units and carry diseases.
- European Starlings Invasive and aggressive. They gather in large flocks, create noisy and unsanitary roosts, and often displace native birds.
- House Sparrows Small but persistent, these birds nest in signage, awnings, light fixtures, and vents—leading to clogs and fire hazards.
- Canada Geese Common near ponds, corporate campuses, and golf courses. Droppings are unsanitary and slippery, and they can be aggressive when nesting.
- Seagulls (Ring-billed Gulls) Frequently seen around parking lots, rooftops, and landfills. Their droppings damage structures and they often scavenge near restaurants.
- Grackles Loud and often roost in large groups. Their droppings and noise can deter customers and create sanitation issues around businesses.
Common Protected Birds Include:
- Ducks and Geese
- Songbirds
- Gulls
- Shorebirds
- Wading Birds
- Birds of Prey
Understanding Protected Bird Species
In the United States, many bird species are safeguarded under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) of 1918. This federal law makes it illegal to harm, capture, or disturb protected birds, their nests, or eggs without appropriate permits.
Legal Considerations
Engaging in activities such as capturing, harming, or relocating these birds without proper authorization can lead to significant legal consequences. It’s essential to consult with professionals who are knowledgeable about wildlife regulations to ensure compliance.
