Bird Removal

When Birds Become a Serious Problem

In Arizona, birds become more than just noisy visitors, especially during summer. With the extreme desert heat driving birds to seek shade, they’re often desperate to find a cool place to nest—making your home’s solar panels, roofs, gutters, and ledges attractive nesting sites.

Common issues homeowners experience include:

• Property Damage: Bird droppings aren’t just messy—they’re highly acidic and corrosive. Over time, this acidity eats away at roofing materials, paint, gutters, vehicles, and even your expensive solar panels. Plus, bird nests are often constructed from flammable materials like straw or dried grass, creating a hidden fire hazard, especially where solar panels are involved.
• Solar Panel Damage: Birds, especially pigeons, frequently build nests under solar panels. Nests also block airflow, significantly reduce solar panel efficiency, and can lead to overheating and fire hazards. It also means a gradual accumulation of bird droppings on the panels, further compromising performance. Birds may also peck and damage solar panel wiring, necessitating expensive repairs.
• Health Hazards: Bird droppings aren’t just unsightly—they’re harmful. Bird droppings can pose health risks to humans and may lead to issues like salmonella, E. coli, and histoplasmosis. Keeping birds away using effective bird exclusion techniques can help protect your loved ones.
• Bird Mites and Fleas: Birds are frequent carriers of parasites like mites, fleas, and ticks. Once birds settle on your roof or near windows and vents, these parasites can easily find their way inside your home. These parasites, especially bird mites, cause uncomfortable bites and persistent irritation.

Expert Bird Removal—Humane and Effective Solutions

At Darling Wildlife Services, we do bird removal differently. Our team combines humane wildlife removal with practical exclusion methods. Led by a seasoned wildlife biologist with over 15 years of hands-on experience, we’re not your regular pest control technicians; we’re knowledgeable wildlife experts focused on providing effective and lasting pest control and wildlife removal solutions in the Phoenix Valley.

Here’s what makes our bird removal services effective and different:

1. Complementary Property Inspection

We begin each service by carefully inspecting your home or commercial building. We identify precisely where birds are nesting, why they’re attracted to your property, where they might go next, and assess potential damage caused by these unwelcome guests.

2. Humane Bird Trapping and Removal Techniques

Our bird trapping process follows humane wildlife removal guidelines. Whether you need help with pigeon trapping or getting rid of other problematic birds, our technicians can safely capture and relocate them away from your home or business.

3. Effective Bird Exclusion and Prevention Methods

After removing the birds and their nests, we implement proven bird exclusion measures to prevent future infestations. These include:

• Bird Spikes: Installing bird spikes on potential landing or nesting areas. Bird spikes are harmless to birds yet highly effective at keeping them at bay.

• Solar Panel Barriers: Because birds often try to escape Mesa’s summer heat by nesting under solar panels, we install specialized barriers to block access beneath panels without damaging your equipment.
  

4. Cleanup & Sanitization Services

Bird removal isn’t complete without thorough cleanup. If left unattended, bird droppings can cause diseases or structural damage to your property. At Darling Wildlife Services, we offer pressure washing and sanitization services to restore your home’s cleanliness and curb appeal after successful bird removal.

We Offer Comprehensive Wildlife & Pest Control Solutions

Bird infestations are often accompanied by other wildlife problems. Essentially, the mess they create on your roof can encourage other pests like rodents and squirrels to invade your home. As a full-service pest control and wildlife removal company, we provide a full range of wildlife removal solutions, including roof rat removal, squirrel trapping and relocation, skunk trapping, raccoon removal, and so much more.

Additionally, our insulation installation and attic restoration services can repair damage caused by wildlife, improve your home’s energy efficiency, and protect your property from future infestations.
