Bird Control in Sumter & Lake County, FL

Birds are highly adaptable creatures, often finding refuge in urban landscapes with abundant food and shelter. Their droppings contain acidic components that can cause property damage and pose health concerns when they flock in large numbers. The presence of birds can complicate pest management and attract other pests, such as fleas, mites, and ticks. 

BPS helps create a delicate balance between appreciating wildlife and maintaining a safe, clean, and damage-free property. We offer green, organic, and eco-friendly options for our bird control methods. Our technicians are trained in the behaviors of different bird species and implement the most useful strategies for deterring them without causing harm.

What Attracts Birds to Your Property?

Birds seek out environments that meet their basic survival needs. Recognizing these attractants can significantly reduce the likelihood of a bird infestation. Common attractants include:

• Food sources: Open garbage bins, pet food left outside, and fruit-bearing trees can provide a plentiful feast for birds, making them a common reason to frequently visit your property.
• Water sources: Birds are attracted to areas with accessible water, so birdbaths, ponds, fountains, and even leaky outdoor faucets or sprinkler systems can attract birds.
• Shelter: Birds seek structures that protect them from predators and the elements, such as eaves, ledges, gutters, vents, and dense vegetation like trees and shrubs.
• Safe breeding areas: Certain types of landscaping, like dense shrubs, tall trees, and thick hedges, provide excellent nesting sites.
• Social interaction: The presence of other birds can signal a safe and communal space, attracting more birds to the area.

Preventing Bird Infestation

Preventing a bird infestation proactively is often more effective than trying to remove birds after they've settled in. Consider these tips to help you deter birds:

• Keep garbage bins tightly sealed and avoid leaving pet food outdoors.
• Eliminate any sources of standing water, such as clogged gutters or puddles.
• Regularly trim trees and shrubs to minimize nesting and roosting sites.
• Use visual deterrents like reflective tape and auditory devices like ultrasonic repellents to frighten birds away.
• Seal any openings or gaps in the building's exterior to prevent birds from entering.
• Regularly clean areas where birds are likely to gather and remove bird droppings promptly.
• Consult with professional bird control experts for persistent bird problems.

Our Approach to Bird Control

We offer humane and environmentally friendly methods to manage bird populations. Our technicians are professionally trained to comply with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) which safeguards many bird species. 

Our approach to bird control begins with in-depth assessments. We perform thorough site inspections to accurately identify bird species, the extent of the problem, and the areas they are affecting. Based on these findings, our team crafts customized deterrent strategies to provide effective control.

Our control measures include:

• Physical barriers: We install bird spikes, netting, and other exclusion devices as physical barriers to prevent birds from roosting and nesting on your property.
• Habitat modification: We recommend environmental changes that discourage birds from settling in the area, such as removing food sources or altering landscapes.
• Eco-friendly repellents: We use non-toxic and environmentally safe repellents to deter birds without causing any ecological harm.
• Ongoing monitoring: Continuously evaluating and adjusting bird control measures to guarantee long-term efficacy and flexibility.
