How to Deter Nuisance Birds from Your Business

Controlling nuisance birds can be a tough task for any business. Despite this difficulty, it’s important to act quickly, before they leave behind a mess, disturb customers, or potentially create health risks.

Pigeons and seagulls are the most troublesome species, especially in urban areas. Several factors make them difficult to manage:

1. Pigeons typically consume grains and seeds, but have adapted to city living by scavenging leftover food and garbage.
2. While their peak breeding season falls between March and July, a steady food supply allows pigeons to reproduce year-round.
3. Seagulls are highly territorial and instinctively return to their nesting sites annually, making it challenging to remove them once they’ve settled.
4. These birds also have remarkably long lifespans, seagulls especially, as they can live up to 40 years and continue reproducing throughout their lifetime.

A rise in bird nests near your property may indicate the start of a larger infestation.

Beginning Bird Control

The most effective way to discourage birds long-term is by restricting their access to food. However, in many business settings, this may not be within your control.

If birds are causing problems on your property, consider these tips:

• Install barriers on window ledges and common roosting spots to prevent nesting.
• Keep food sources hidden to minimize attraction.
• Ensure trash can lids are tightly secured and avoid leaving garbage bags uncovered.
