Birds Continuously Defecate & Damage Patio in Brick, NJ

This customer in Brick, NJ had a major problem. Sparrows were roosting throughout his outdoor patio and pooping all over it! Fed up with this problem he contacted Bird Solutions by Cowleys and we were sent out to assist with this bird problem.

First, we safely removed all the nesting debris, took down all of the old hardware cloth that the owner had installed, and disinfected the entire patio with a solution that targets and eliminates 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, so they will make their way into a home and start feeding on the family and pets! What's even scarier is that bird mites are tiny and semi-transparent, so they are extremely difficult to detect!

Lastly, we installed bird netting throughout the patio. In order make sure the bird netting is secured, we're using a stainless steel cable with net spikes and are anchoring it into the walls. We then locked the cables in place using copper ferrules and then installed turnbuckles which tighten the cable. Bird netting is a 3/4 inch, heavy duty polyethylene bird netting that's used to humanely block the sparrows from entering any unwanted areas. It creates an impenetrable barrier that denies the sparrows, as well as all nuisance birds, the access to the patio and removes the landing areas for them.

The sparrows will fly around, realize they can't enter, and move on. We also added a zipper to the area to provide easy access for the owner. As an added bonus, the bird netting is almost invisible, unless you take a real close look at it. Now all nuisance birds will no longer be able to roost in the patio.
