Another major problem we have found in residential areas is nest building inside attic. When the screens around the vents in the roof rot or decay, starlings enter and build their nests. Not only does this create problems by hearing the birds in the attic, but mites and lice breed in the nests and may infest the house. When nests are in the attic, we can remove the birds and nest, treat for mites and lice, and re-screen. This will keep them out indefinitely.
Outside treatment is much the same as pigeon control.
Each property will have to be evaluated and decide which method would be the most effective. While looking for food, a nesting site, or drumming during mating season, woodpeckers will sometimes attack homes. The holes they peck are unsightly and can be considerably expensive to repair. All woodpeckers are protected by either Federal or State laws. There are probably others, but often we see only the damage.
