BIRDS
While birds can be fun to watch at your backyard feeder, to many of the wrong kind can easily become a nuisance and health hazard. Advantage Wildlife Solutions stands ready to assist you with your nuisance bird problem. Call us today and we will be happy to discuss your problem with you and schedule a site inspection so that we can design a solution to your problem. Below are a few of the more common nuisance bird problems that we have resolved.
WOODPECKERS - There are several species of woodpeckers in Virginia that occasionally cause problems by drumming on house siding, causing noise problems and damaging the siding. Advantage Wildlife Solutions personnel successfully resolve dozens of woodpecker calls each year.
STARLINGS - The Starling (Sturnus vulgaris) is an invasive species that was introduced to the United States around 100 years ago. Starlings eat fruit crops, replace native woodpeckers, are a health hazard to livestock, and their droppings and nests deface buildings, interfere with airvents and cause health and safety hazards. Starlings are hosts to bird mites .
PIGEONS - Pigeons (Columba livia) are a non-native species that most people are familiar with. They deface buildings and property with their droppings, contaminate facilities and merchandise with their droppings, and can cause health and safety hazards. Pigeon droppings contain e-coli bacteria.
CHIMNEY SWIFTS - The Chimney Swift (Chaetura pelagica) is a federally protected migratory bird that normally becomes a problem when it raises its young in your chimney. If you have a chattering noise in your chimney, chances are you have swifts nesting there. Because they are federally protected (and don't normally pose much health risk) there is not much we can do once the problem has started. Once the swifts have taken up residence in your chimney, the only thing we can legally do is wait for them to leave in the early fall and then install a chimney cap to prevent their re-entry. If you don't have a cap on your chimney we strongly recommend you have one installed before a family of swifts, (or raccoons, or squirrels) decides to take up residence in your flue. Advantage Wildlife Solutions personnel install chimney caps and offer a wide selection of attractive caps for you to choose from. Call us today to get your chimney capped before a unwelcome guest arrives!
