Signs of a Bird Infestation:

  • Listen: Unusual chirping, hooting, or fluttering noises, particularly near eaves, vents, or chimneys, can indicate nesting birds.
  • Look: Watch for birds perched on rooftops, ledges, or nesting under eaves. Their droppings and feathers can also be clues to their presence.
  • Inspect: Look for damage to vents, soffits, and eaves as birds build nests. They may also peck at siding or roof shingles

Gatineau & Ottawa’s Feathered Friends: Reclaiming Your Home Humanely

Spring’s arrival brings a surge of activity from our feathered friends. While their presence can be delightful, birds sometimes choose unwelcome locations for nesting – your home! This can lead to property damage, noise disturbances, and even health concerns.

Understanding Bird Nesting Habits:

Gatineau and Ottawa boast a diverse bird population. Here are some common species that might cause nesting problems:

    • House Sparrows: These adaptable birds readily build nests near human dwellings, including attics, eaves, and behind siding.
    • European Starlings: Aggressive and competitive, starlings favor cavities in buildings for nesting, causing blockages and ventilation issues.
    • Rock Pigeons: Familiar urban residents, pigeons roost and nest on ledges, roofs, and balconies, creating sanitation concerns and potential damage.
    • House Finches: Beloved songbirds, house finches can cause problems when they nest near vents, eaves, or shutters, potentially clogging them with nesting materials.
      • Woodpeckers: While beneficial insectivores, woodpeckers can damage siding and shingles as they drill for food and create nesting cavities. Their drumming can also be a nuisance.

    Signs of a Bird Infestation:

      • Unusual sounds: Listen for chirping, hooting, or fluttering noises, particularly near eaves, vents, or chimneys.
      • Bird activity: Watch for birds perched on rooftops, ledges, or nesting under eaves.
      • Droppings and feathers: Look for droppings and feathers near potential nesting sites.
      • Property damage: Inspect vents, soffits, and eaves for signs of bird activity, such as pecking damage.

      Some Facts On Birds

      From sparrows to starlings and even pigeons, it’s a known fact that these common bird species often interact with human dwellings. But there are many other things related to them you may not know: their nests can produce unpleasant odors while their droppings have the potential for causing big damage as well as health risks.

      • With their disorganized tendencies, pigeons, sparrows and starlings can spread chaos throughout homes in the form of nests. They seek out areas with shelter such as eaves-through, fireplaces or vents on roofs – all of which are potential locations for a major hazard: fires! Be aware that these birds make themselves comfortable just about anywhere; your attic might be next.
      • Birds may look like the picture of innocence, but their droppings can cause destruction that lasts far longer than a single flight; their acidic excrement is capable of eating away at paint jobs and corroding certain building materials. Parked cars are especially vulnerable to enduring permanent damage from bird poop.
      • Fireplaces and air vents are supposed to be a source of comfort, but when unchecked by birds building nests inside, the inherent dangers become all too real. Carbon monoxide buildup plus mold growth can spell tragedy for occupants if not noticed in time–watch out for broken vents covered in debris from twigs and leaves as potential warning signs.
      • The young, elderly and those with weakened immune systems are particularly susceptible to histoplasmosis – an incurable disease associated with flu-like symptoms. It is contracted through inhalation of bird droppings often found in nests. As such, caution should be exercised when one comes into contact with these nesting areas.
      • In the world of birds, sparrows and starlings live a biannual life-cycle with two nesting seasons per year. Usually they’ll lay 6 or 7 eggs – though it’s not uncommon for only one or two chicks to make it through their early fledgling stage into adulthood. On the other hand, pigeons can keep a steady pace throughout their lives by laying 2 to 4 eggs all year round.
      • With their nimble wings and small frames, sparrows can pass with ease through a hole smaller than the size of an average golf ball.
      • Ensure the safety of your home and property by preventing a bird takeover! Remove birds, nests, and seal away any entrance points to keep them from coming back.
      • Unclean nests and dead fledgling carcasses can be a major health risk, as the unpleasant odors that they produce are often caused by bacteria and parasite infestations.
