Yuma, Arizona is known for being the sunniest place on earth, and while the weather draws a great deal of people, it’s also very attractive for birds. While many people have heard that birds migrate south for the winter, due to the warm desert climate many birds remain active throughout the winter. This makes bird control in yuma very important due to the year-round threat.

Proper Bird Control involves:

• Indentifying what type of bird you’re dealing with.
• Cleaning up affected areas to eliminate harmful bacteria, parasites, and odor.
• Installing deterrents and exclusion materials to prevent infestation.
• Maintaining the system for long-term success.

What Problems do Birds Cause?

Birds might seem harmless but can actually cause some serious problems for homes and businesses. Their droppings are acidic and can spread bacteria and parasites. Their nests can also create dangerous conditions if left untreated. If you have been dealing with a bird infestation, you will be familiar with some common problems:

• Constantly cleaning up after them.
• Waking up at night to loud noises.
• Unpleasant smell that gets worse over time.
• Roof and other property damage.

Some less known and more serious problems are:

• Droppings contain over 60 different diseases.
• Nests around vents or solar panels create fire hazards.
• Odors attract rodents and other pests along.
• You can receive legal fines or violations from excessive birds.

How To Prevent a Bird Infestation

Keeping your property clean and removing any food or water sources can make your property less attractive to birds. Trimming or cutting down trees close to your home can help as well. 

Importance of Professional Bird Control

While there are steps worth taking to prevent birds by yourself (you can find DIY tips in other blogs/articles on the site, as well as in our newsletter), it is no substitute for professional bird control. Professional bird control companies have years of experience in bird behavior and treatment methods. Each home or business will encounter their own unique bird issue due to property design and structure, location and surroundings, and even potential habits and attractants from property owners.  Custom plans are created to stop birds from settling and make sure the issue does not return. Professionals also ensure the treatments are safe for your pets, family, and the environment.
