While birds are beautiful creatures, they can be destructive to our homes and many species can carry as many pests and disease as rats. Pioneer Pest Management specializes in humane, effective and environmentally sensitive methods to control nuisance birds such as pigeons, starlings, flickers and wood peckers.
Some of the problems property owners face from birds comes either from their nesting tenancies or their droppings. Flickers and wood peckers bore into the wooden siding of buildings, causing expensive damage. in addition to being carriers of diseases and pests like fleas, pigeons and starlings have extremely acidic droppings that can eat through metal siding and roofs within a matter of weeks. Pioneer Pest Management’s bird specialists have also seen instances where bird droppings have eaten though the paint of cars causing further damage.
Nuisance birds pose a number of problems including:
- Fire hazards due to nesting in places near electrical equipment
- Damages and clogs to air conditioning and heating systems
- Damaged siding and other wood fixtures
- The spread of such diseases such as meningitis and salmonella
- Constant noise and disturbance
We’ve developed effective bird control measures for the different species that populate the Portland and Vancouver area. Our experience allow us to quickly identify the birds causing the problems, then quickly remove them from the area.
