Why Are Nuisance Birds a Problem for Your Home?
Birds roosting in your home pose several serious concerns:
-
Health hazards: Accumulated droppings and nesting debris harbor bacteria, trigger respiratory problems, and create unhealthy living conditions.
-
Histoplasmosis: A potentially fatal respiratory illness caused by fungus that thrives in dried bird droppings.
-
Cryptococcosis: A disease that originates from yeast in the intestinal tracts of pigeons and starlings, often starting as a lung condition before affecting the nervous system.
-
Salmonellosis: Commonly known as food poisoning, this has been linked to pigeons, starlings, and sparrows. Their dropping dust can infiltrate ventilation systems and contaminate food preparation areas.
-
Pest hitchhikers: Birds frequently transport parasites like fleas and ticks into your living space.
-
Fire dangers: Nesting materials accumulated in chimneys or dryer vents create serious fire risks.
-
Sleep disruption: Noisy birds can disturb your rest, leading to fatigue and reduced focus during the day.
-
Structural damage: Bird waste contains high levels of uric acid that corrode metal, degrade paint, ruin fabric, and damage numerous other surfaces.

How do I know if I have a bird problem in my home?
Several signs indicate birds have taken up residence in your home. Look for:
-
Droppings
-
Nesting materials (near holes, vents, or eaves)
-
Scratching, chirping, or fluttering sounds (especially during early morning or evening hours)
-
Damaged vent covers
-
Displaced screening
-
Visible nests (near your roofline)
If you notice any of these warning signs, contact Cridder Ridder for a thorough inspection before the problem grows.
What attracts birds to my home in the first place?
Birds seek out properties that offer shelter, food sources, and water. Gaps in soffits, uncapped chimneys, damaged vent covers, and openings in eaves provide attractive nesting spots. Bird feeders, fruit-bearing trees, unsecured garbage, and standing water also draw birds to your property.
Why can't I just remove the birds myself?
DIY bird removal presents several challenges:
-
Many bird species (including chimney swifts, woodpeckers, and most songbirds) receive protection under the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Disturbing their nests or harming these birds without proper permits carries significant legal penalties.
-
Bird droppings harbor dangerous pathogens that require proper safety equipment and disposal methods.
-
Simply removing birds without sealing entry points and implementing exclusion measures means they'll likely return.
Our licensed technicians understand the regulations, have the right equipment, and deliver lasting solutions.
How long does the bird removal and exclusion process take?
The timeline depends on the severity of your bird problem, the species involved, and the size of your property.
Will bird control harm the birds?
No. Cridder Ridder uses humane removal and exclusion methods that don't injure birds. Our approach focuses on encouraging birds to leave voluntarily, then blocking their return through physical barriers and deterrents.
