Bird Control Services - Spikes installed.
As a wildlife technician, I look forward to nuisance bird assignments. With birds, every project is unique and the deterrents, to be effective, must be selected based on the type of bird and particular structure. Here, aesthetics were a top priority because the infestation was in a highly visible location - the front and center entrance of the house. It's not like we could string up exclusionary bird netting over the door and call it a day. Here, I removed the best possible nesting site that the swallows had chosen by installing a line of unobtrusive bird spikes. For aesthetics, I colored them so they would blend in with the shade of brink on the house. As shown in the photo, I used a masonry bit to prep the brick for mason screws to hold the line of deterrent spikes in place.
These bird spikes will prevent these birds from landing and nesting above the front door, one of the worst high-traffic, visible locations the birds could have picked. There's no guarantee that the birds won't move to another location around the house, but at least now, they are blocked from nesting over the front door. Our hope is that when these birds relocate, they will choose to leave the property completely.
