Whether it’s pecking holes through your siding, building nests in your vents, or falling down the inside of your chimneys, birds can be a problem for all Wisconsin homeowners.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF BIRD ISSUES WE CONTROL:

Damage to siding of your home:

Woodpeckers are notorious for pecking through knot holes in wood siding, potential building a nest inside your home and can be a costly problem to fix any damages.  These holes can lead to other rodents gaining access such as mice or sometimes even flying squirrels.  We can provide the removal of the birds as well as patching of the areas of your home.

Bird in my bathroom vent:

One common location for Grackles to nest is your bathroom vent on your roof.  Often this goes unnoticed until a bird is squeaking inside your bathroom vent and the homeowner is left to figure how in the heck did this bird get there?  Most bathroom vents are black plastic and are located in the back of your home near the rain gutter.  You should be able to stand and watch the birds leaving the vent from your backyard. Our techs remove the birds, nesting materials, screen the vent and in some cases can replace the vent tubing in your attic.

Bird in my chimney:

Only one bird in the State of Wisconsin can fly in and out of your chimney and that is the Chimney Swift.  We cannot remove swifts from your chimney because they are a protected bird by the State of Wisconsin. But once they leave we can install a chimney cap to prevent them from entering and/or nesting again. Every other type of bird that enters your chimney can be removed from your home, we have removed ducks, owls, starlings, grackles, flickers, woodpeckers, and robins – to name a few.

Nesting birds on my roof:

Advanced Wildlife Control is starting to become known for its Seagull control services and is widely regarded as an expert in the field of seagull control.  Seagulls can be a difficult problem and may involve several different type of options for successful control.

Swallow control usually involves altering the structure of the home to prevent them from building mud nests that are attached to the home.  We often see this type of nuisance bird in subdivisions that have a small body of water located near the home.  We can inspect your home and provide recommendations to control the swallows, we cannot remove the nests once the eggs have been laid.

Bird flying into my window:

We like to call this the crazy bird syndrome. Usually this means that the bird (most likely a robin) sees itself in the reflection and will defend their territory. It will fly into the window, crash and sometimes can lead to death.  Pulling the blinds or covering the window usually deters the bird, but in some situations it can be very difficult to get them to stop.

Diseases found in Bird Droppings

This might come as a surprise to many of our customers, but bird droppings can contain up to 60 different types of diseases!  Worse yet, the disease can be a huge issue for those exposed due to the ability of the diseases to become airborne.  If you have a situation that requires clean-up due to bird excrement you should consider hiring a professional.  Cleaning bird droppings without the proper equipment can lead to a host of problems.

Below are a few of the many diseases associated with bird feces.
