Bird Control & Solutions

Birds can be a nuisance for businesses. Not only do birds pose a risk to your property with acidic droppings and blocked ventilation systems, many carry diseases that can have a lasting effect on your employees, clients, the public, and any animals that come into contact with your property. Additionally, a bird’s nest is flammable and if built under certain circumstances, such as in electric signs, there is a severe risk of fire.

Get Rid Of Your Bird Problem With The Help Of Trained Professionals

Some birds are extremely mobile and can become trapped inside buildings while others establish their nests on the outside walls. It is important to note that many birds are beneficial to the environment, while others are legally protected by various levels of government, even if they have become a nuisance to a business owner. You want to ensure you address a bird infestation in a humane manner.

Greenshield’s bird control program recognizes that although each bird is different, methods of control are similar for most. Our program employs a three-step process.

Inspection and Assessment

Greenshield’s bird technicians use the knowledge and experience of over 30 years Bird Control Experience, they understand several bird species’ behaviour and biology. During the assessment, our bird technician will gather information, including your observations, investigate the property to observe all bird activity, and search for the presence of nests and roosting.

Gathering information, the information gathered from you is beneficial in your technician being able to focus his/her attention on the key areas and situations specific to your businesses experiences and needs.

Interior assessment, during the interior assessment the technician will require access to any area where you have experienced bird sightings, noises or have found waste, nesting material and or damage. The level of contamination will be noted during the assessment to provide the business owner or responsible party knowledge of any risk of disease. The technician will conduct the investigating to determine both the level of infestation as well as ascertaining which bird species is the invader. Attention will be paid to common interior nesting locations. This information is necessary in the strategic removal of unwanted birds from the structure.

Exterior assessment will be conducted upon completioin of the interior assessment. The technician will direct his/her attention to the exterior of the structure. Here he/she will be focussed on finding the primary points of entry birds may be using to gain access, potential points of entry, as well as roosting areas. These include soffits, fascia, moldings, roof peaks, roofs, roof vents, chimneys, loading docks, loading doors, entrance doors, vents, roof intersections, and any other potential problem areas depending on building type.

Upon completion of the assessment the technician will do a walk through with the business owner or responsible party discussing and pointing out any areas of concern. At this point he/she will create a strategic plan using experience, training and the information gathered from the assessment to both remove any birds, as well as any exclusion, i.e. sealing, proofing, replacement of vent covers, bird deterrents, etc. Anything needed to assure no new birds will be able to gain access to, or roost on the exterior of the structure. During the assessment Greenshield will take into consideration the likely presence of nests and the steps required to humanely remove the eggs or babies.

Removal and Prevention

Since our inception, Greenshield has always taken a humane approach to the removal of birds. Our process supports this approach and our methods are safe and effective for our clients and the birds we deal with. Once we understand the severity of your bird problem, we will identify a number of options that fit both your needs and budget. The options presented during this step may include:

One-way door bird excluders – Our bird one-way door systems are used at the primary point of entry to remove all invading birds. This safe and humane system allows birds to leave safely and eliminates their ability to return. Once the birds have safely exited, the system will be removed the area will undergo all agreed upon exclusion.

Live Bird Traps – Whenever possible Greenshield prefers to allow birds to exit willingly, however in some situations the capture and removal of an unwanted invader is necessary. In such a case live traps are set up and monitored often to assure the offending captives are released quickly and safely back into the outdoors. Water and food is provided for the safety of the birds.

Bird Control Devices & Deterrents –In many situations where bird control is necessary Greenshield uses physical devices such as netting, bird spikes and bird deterrents to prevent bird roosting activity at your home or cottage. We also employ deterrents such as scare devices to discourage birds for the area.

Exclusion (Sealing and Proofing) -Using the information gained during the assessment we provide the necessary exclusion needed to seal and proof your home or cottage in a way that will balance its aesthetics, closing off any potential entry points and securing any secondary or tertiary potential points of entry to ensure you remain bird free for years to come.

Restoration & Follow Up

Once your technician has completed the removal and prevention work, they will schedule any follow up appointments necessary to check any traps and keep all devices in working order and maintained they will assess the success of eviction with all one-way doors and finally remove these if required.

Once your bird situation is controlled successfully Greenshield Pest Control can offer services in Site Cleanup, Dropping Removal, disinfection, deodorization and restoration. Excluding various birds from your property doesn’t correct the damage they have caused. When it comes to excluding birds, the aesthetics of your facility is very important. Unfortunately, by the way many birds perch or build their nests, building exteriors experience significant contamination.

Though difficult to deal with, it is important for businesses to display the proper image so your brand isn’t damaged. Leaving bird droppings on paint or concrete can cause significant damage as they are acidic and will cause permanent damage. In addition to the droppings, swallows create nests that are almost as hard as concrete and adhere to the side of a building. It can be difficult to remove safely and effectively. Our technicians are fully trained to provide any cleanup or decontamination. We have the proper technology and equipment to quickly deal with both the droppings and swallows’ nests.

Finally, we will review the success of the bird removal and provide you with a written warranty.
