Controlling birds around your property

Managing birds is a significant challenge for many businesses. Birds not only create unsightly exterior displays and irritate customers, but also pose potential health risks.

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

1. Pigeons primarily eat grains and seeds but have adapted to city life by scavenging leftover food and trash.
2. With consistent food sources, pigeons can breed year-round, with peak activity between March and July.
3. Seagulls are highly territorial and return to the same nesting sites each year, making them difficult to remove once they’ve claimed a home.
4. These birds have long lifespans—seagulls, in particular, can live up to 40 years and continue reproducing throughout their lives.

An increase in bird nests around your property could indicate a growing infestation.

Prevent access to food

The best way to keep birds away long-term is by removing their food sources. However, in crowded urban areas, this is rarely something one person can control. 

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

• Prevent access to nesting sites by installing barriers on window ledges and other common roosting spots.
• Keep food sources hidden to reduce their appeal.
• Secure trash can lids properly and avoid leaving garbage bags out in the open.
