Is it legal to remove bird nests?

Most native bird species are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Starlings, house sparrows, and pigeons are not protected and can be removed anytime. For protected species, timing and method matter. We know the regulations and work within them.

How is this different from an exterminator?

Exterminators set traps and leave. We remove the nests, install exclusion devices, screen every vent, and seal every soffit gap. One crew handles the whole job. You pay once, not monthly.

Birds in your vents? That is a fire waiting to happen. We fix it.

Q: How much does bird removal cost?

It depends on the scope. Dryer vent cleanout and screening is straightforward. Full soffit and attic exclusion is a bigger job. We inspect for free and give you a written scope with the full cost before any work starts.

Q: Will the birds come back?

We seal every entry point with bird-proof screening and metal materials. The exclusion work is guaranteed. If birds get back into a sealed area, we come back. Free.

A bird nest in your dryer vent is not charming. It is a problem that gets worse every season.

Lint builds up behind the nest. Airflow drops to zero. The heat from your dryer has nowhere to go. If you have a gas dryer, a blocked vent can also push carbon monoxide back into your home.

Meanwhile, starlings in your soffit are spreading mites into your living space, and their droppings are corrosive enough to eat through roofing and siding. Most pest companies will not touch birds. We built a whole process for them.

Nest removal, vent screening, soffit sealing. One crew walks in. When they walk out, every opening is sealed with bird-proof materials and the job is done.

Every vent inspected. Every gap sealed.

Where birds get in

Starlings, sparrows, and pigeons squeeze through gaps as small as one inch. They come back to the same spot year after year. Here are the five places we find them most.

Dryer vent

The #1 bird entry point. Warm, sheltered, perfect nesting spot. Also a fire hazard when blocked with nest debris and lint.

Bathroom exhaust vent

Small opening, big problem. Birds pack it with nesting material and block your ventilation.

Soffit gaps

Starlings love soffits. One-inch gaps are all they need to set up shop in your attic.

Ridge vent

Designed for attic airflow, exploited by birds looking for shelter. Easy to miss without a full inspection.

Gable vent

Open mesh is an open invitation. Birds walk right through damaged or aging vent covers.

We inspect all five. We seal all five.

The damage goes beyond the nest.

Bird droppings are corrosive enough to damage roofing and siding. And the mites they carry do not stay in the nest. They migrate into your living space through ceiling gaps and ductwork. Removal alone does not work. Exclusion is the only permanent fix.

Not through our work. We screen every vent and seal every gap with bird-proof materials. If birds get back into a sealed area, we come back. Free.

Can you remove any type of bird?
