Starlings Clogged the Exhaust Vents in Princeton, NJ

After noticing a large amount of bird nesting debris in a couple of his exhaust vents as well as actually witnessing a number of starlings flying out of the areas, this customer in Princeton, NJ called Bird Solutions for help and we were sent out. Blocked airflow from nests can cause dryers to overheat and create fire hazards, while also potentially leading to moisture buildup, mold, and the spread of diseases like histoplasmosis from droppings.

The first thing we did was carefully remove all of the nesting debris out of each one of the exhaust vents. Afterward, we disinfected each of the exhaust vents with a solution that targets bird mites. Bird mites are parasites that feed on the blood of birds. When birds leave their nests, the mites are left behind without a suitable host for their next blood meal and make their way into a home.

Lastly, to prevent any future nuisance bird intrusions, we installed a Defender over each of the exhaust vents. The Defender is the perfect choice to help keep out nuisance birds. While allowing free-flowing air movement, its patented design effectively blocks intrusion by using a system of bars instead of a screen under the hood.
