Birds can damage homes and property, they spread disease and disturb our peace with their loud caws and non-ending cheeps. Bird nests plug rain gutters and vents, damage machinery, and create a fire hazard in electrical fixtures. Bird droppings can discolor paint, erode concrete, corrode materials such as copper and steel, and can contaminate packaged foods and water supplies.

Michigan has many types of nuisance birds including blackbirds, sparrows, starlings, gulls, owls, woodpeckers and more.

You may experience birds being a nuisance in your attic or chimney. You might suspect a colony of birds is residing in your home by the foul smell and visual stains on your vents. You may even hear chirps, caws or scratching. You could spend thousands of dollars cleaning up after nuisance birds and repairing the damage they cause.
