Birds

Birds are abundant and look for roosting and nesting spots that resemble the rocks and cliff ledges they prefer. Having birds in your yard means you have gutters, chimney ledges, or balconies they enjoy for scoping out the area for food. Birds may also use eaves, barns, sheds, or roof vents to build a nest. 

Birds are active all day, but even more so in the early mornings when they search for bugs, insects, flowers, grains, animal waste, and human food. 

Removing birds from vents is important for several key reasons: 

  1. Airflow and Ventilation: Birds nesting in vents can obstruct airflow, leading to reduced efficiency of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems (HVAC). This can increase energy costs and strain on HVAC units.
  2. Fire Hazard: Nesting materials and debris brought in by birds can accumulate and block vents. This buildup can restrict airflow and potentially cause overheating, increasing the risk of fires.
  3. Health and Safety: Birds can carry diseases and parasites, which can be transmitted through their droppings and feathers. Accumulated bird droppings can also release harmful airborne spores that pose health risks to humans.
  4. Damage to Property: Birds may peck and scratch at vents, causing damage to the vent covers, screens, or the vents themselves. This damage can lead to costly repairs or replacements.
  5. Noise and Disturbance: Birds nesting in vents can create noise disturbances, especially during breeding seasons, which can disrupt sleep and daily activities.
  6. Preventing Recurrence: Properly removing birds and sealing off access points to vents can prevent future nesting and reduce the likelihood of repeated infestations.
