Bird Control Delaware Residents Can Trust

Birds, while often welcomed for their beauty and the life they bring to a garden, can become a nuisance or even a hazard when they nest in unwanted areas, leave droppings, or damage property. In Delaware, where diverse bird species abound, homeowners and property managers seek effective strategies for managing these feathered visitors. JEM Pest Solutions offers humane and effective bird control methods that respect wildlife while protecting your property. Note that JEM does not offer goose control services, focusing instead on safe, non-lethal methods for managing other bird-related issues.

Habitat Modification

Keeping Birds at Bay by Changing the Environment

One of the most effective bird control strategies is habitat modification, which involves altering the environment to make it less attractive to birds. This can include removing food sources, such as securing garbage bins and not leaving pet food outdoors. Water sources, such as decorative ponds, can be covered or modified to discourage birds from gathering. By making these simple changes, you can greatly reduce the appeal of your property to unwanted avian visitors.

Exclusionary Barriers

Creating Physical Boundaries

Exclusionary barriers are a direct approach to prevent birds from accessing certain areas. This method can include the installation of netting over gardens or fruit-bearing trees, placing bird spikes on ledges where birds commonly roost, or using wire mesh to block off openings in eaves and vents. These barriers are designed to be humane and do not harm birds; they simply redirect them to less problematic areas.

Bird-proofing Buildings

Fortifying Structures Against Birds

Bird-proofing buildings is a critical step for Delaware residents dealing with persistent bird-related issues. This can involve sealing off entry points to attics or crawl spaces where birds might nest, using bird slope products on ledges to prevent roosting, and installing bird wire systems on rooftops. Bird-proofing efforts aim to deter birds from choosing your property as their home or resting spot without causing them harm.

Physical Deterrents

Non-Harmful Methods to Discourage Birds

Physical deterrents include tools and devices designed to scare birds away without causing injury. Reflective tapes, wind chimes, and even certain types of lights can make an area less hospitable to birds without resorting to harmful measures. Ultrasonic devices are another option, emitting sounds that are unpleasant to birds but typically inaudible to humans. These deterrents can be especially effective in gardens, on balconies, or near patios where bird activity is unwanted.

In Delaware, managing bird populations on your property doesn’t have to mean harming these natural wonders. Through habitat modification, exclusionary barriers, bird-proofing buildings, and the use of physical deterrents, JEM Pest Solutions offers bird control methods that are both effective and humane. Remember, while we strive to manage bird populations responsibly, JEM does not provide services for goose control.
