Bird Control

Our comprehensive bird control services include:

• Exclusion netting. We install durable, nearly invisible netting systems that prevent birds from accessing preferred nesting and roosting areas while maintaining the aesthetic appeal of your property.
• Spike and wire barrier systems. Our technicians can strategically place humane bird spikes and tension wire systems on ledges, signs, and other surfaces to eliminate comfortable perching areas without harming birds.
• Electronic deterrent devices. We can deploy ultrasonic and sonic bird deterrents that create uncomfortable environments for pesky birds while remaining inaudible or non-disruptive to humans and pets.
• Nest removal and cleanup. Our team can safely remove existing nests and thoroughly clean affected areas, eliminating health hazards and removing attractants that encourage birds to return.
• Habitat modification services. We can identify and address environmental factors that attract birds to your property, including food sources, water access, and sheltered areas that provide ideal nesting conditions.
• Ongoing monitoring and maintenance. Our follow-up services track the effectiveness of installed deterrents and make adjustments as needed to maintain long-term bird control success.

The success of our bird control programs lies in understanding the specific behaviors and preferences of common Southern bird species, allowing us to select the most effective combination of deterrents for each situation. Pigeons, for example, prefer flat surfaces and enclosed spaces for nesting, while starlings and sparrows often seek out small openings in building facades. Our customized approach addresses these species-specific preferences while considering factors like building architecture, local weather patterns, and seasonal migration behaviors that affect bird activity throughout Oklahoma and Texas and the surrounding areas.

What to Do When You Discover Bird Nests or Eggs

Discovering bird nests or eggs on your property requires careful consideration of legal requirements and safety concerns. Federal and state wildlife protection laws strictly regulate the removal of nests from many bird species. The Migratory Bird Treaty Act protects most bird species found in Oklahoma and Texas, making it illegal to disturb active nests containing eggs or young birds without proper permits and professional expertise. Even common "pest" birds like pigeons and starlings may be protected during certain times of the year, so professional assessment is crucial before taking any action.

Timing plays a critical role in legal bird nest management, as most protected species have specific nesting seasons when interference is prohibited. In our area, the primary nesting season typically runs from March through August, though some species may nest earlier or later depending on weather conditions and food availability. Our experienced team understands these complex regulations and can determine the appropriate course of action based on species identification, nest status, and current legal requirements. We work closely with local wildlife authorities when necessary to obtain permits for nest removal while developing prevention strategies that discourage future nesting attempts in problematic locations.
