Birds

What are birds?

Birds leave behind copious droppings, damage homes or buildings, and cause other health problems. Florida is home to several types of birds, but the most common ones we see include pigeons, sparrows, hawks, ducks, and geese.

Why do I have birds?

Birds are attracted to properties that allow them access to roost and nest sites near food and water sources. Homes with bird feeders are, unsurprisingly, prone to problems with birds.

Are birds dangerous?

When birds flock to your home or business in large numbers, they can be extremely dangerous. Birds can spread several diseases via their droppings, including West Nile virus, avian flu, and Salmonella. They are known to spread other pests including lice, fleas, ticks, and mice.

Birds are also known for their penchant for property damage. Feathers and nests can clog and damage air conditioning units, gutters, vents, and machinery. Their droppings can lead to dangerous injuries such as slips and falls. Additionally, some species—such as geese and hawks—are known to be aggressive and territorial toward pets and people.
