BIRD & PIGEON TRAPPING
Do pigeons flock around your Vancouver area property in large numbers? If so, you know they can cause many, many problems. From limiting your property’s curb appeal to potentially exposing you and others to illness, there are plenty of ways resident birds can be a nuisance.
Addressing this issue is particularly important if you’re a business owner. Even if you offer your customers excellent service, you’ll struggle to attract new customers if birds are ruining your property.
We at DeTurd Bird Control Solutions can fix this problem with our bird trapping programs. Bird trapping is a humane and effective way to get rid of pigeons and similar resident birds fast.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BIRD TRAPPING
Bird trapping involves placing a large cage with bird seed inside it near the areas on your property (typically the roof) where birds tend to nest, roost, or feed. The seed will attract the birds, who are happy to be eating and thus don’t notice that they can’t get out of the cage.
One pigeon may fly to the trap first. However, their presence will often attract more. It’s not uncommon for bird traps to catch four to five birds over the course of just a few hours.
HOW WE HANDLE TRAPPED BIRDS
It’s important to allow professionals to remove birds stuck in traps. First of all, removing birds can pose a safety risk if you’re not properly trained. Additionally, removing birds in this manner may sometimes require securing permits first.
That’s why we handle removal once a trap has caught a few birds. Bird control personnel remove the birds, replenishing the seed and water when they’re done. After a month, we’ll have removed many of the pigeons that were flocking around your property.
KEEPING BIRDS AWAY
Some people choose to combine bird trapping with other deterrent methods. However, bird trapping can be a deterrent itself.
After many birds have been trapped on your property over a month’s time, the general pigeon population in the area will learn that your property is dangerous to them. They’ll stay away accordingly.
IS BIRD TRAPPING HUMANE?
Trapping pigeons and house sparrows is legal because they qualify as non-native pests.
If you hire bird trapping professionals, this method is also humane. Again, because the birds inside the cages have access to food and water, being unable to leave the cage doesn’t cause distress.
Our experts also adhere to all applicable guidelines when removing the birds. They take care to ensure the safety of all the birds we handle.
BIRD TRAPPING RECOMMENDATIONS?
Although bird trapping is an effective means of addressing a bird problem, once more, you can combine it with other methods as well. You might consider doing so if you want to expedite the process. We can help with various other solutions, including bird spikes, bird repellent gel, bird nest removal, and more. Our team at DeTurd, serving Vancouver property and business owners, will gladly discuss your particular bird problem in order to determine the strongest possible solution.
NOTE: Seagulls are protected and cannot be trapped or killed.
