Bird Removal and Control for Homes and Businesses

Birds like pigeons, sparrows and starlings nest in vents, gutters and roof openings on homes and businesses. Liberty handles bird removal through wildlife control, and bird control for businesses, and both start with a free inspection.

How to identify

  • Pigeons are gray, with shiny green and purple feathers on the neck.
  • House sparrows are small and brown, and the males have a gray cap and a black bib.
  • European starlings are dark, with glossy, speckled feathers.

How Liberty treats it

Free wildlife inspectionNot available in Bowling Green
  1. Inspection

    Wildlife Control starts with a free wildlife inspection. A local Service Advisor does a thorough inspection to see how bad the problem is, where birds are nesting or getting in, like dryer vents, gutters and roof openings, and what draws them, like sheltered ledges and uncovered vents. For a business, bird control starts with a free Pest Quality Audit.

  2. Treatment

    • Nest removalWe remove nests and nesting material from vents, gutters, soffits and signs.
    • Seal vents and openingsWe cover or seal the vents and openings birds use, like dryer vents, bathroom vents and gaps along the roof.
    • Cleanup adviceWe point out droppings and old nesting material that should be cleaned up.
  3. Follow-up

    After the nests are out and the openings are covered, we come back to check for new nesting and check that the covers are holding.

Trey was one of the nicest, most respectful young men we have dealt with. He made eye contact with my husband, was very knowledgeable about the service your company provides, and was very thorough. He took his time and never made us feel like we were asking too many questions, or that he was in a hurry. We truly enjoyed his company and professionalism. My husband is a Vietnam Veteran and was a custom homebuilders for 45 years. Trey talked to Mike with respect and showed a genuine interest in Mike's knowledge of houses. He was also very kind to me, and even though I hit him with a barrage of questions, he was very patient and didn't make me feel like my questions didn't matter. We feel he is a very good representative of your company. You are blessed to have him. More companies need employees like Trey. We received an estimate, are still a little freaked out, but going over what we HAVE to have done and what we can afford. We haven't paid anything yet, but I had to choose a price in order for it to post.

Called liberty pest control and they were out the same week for an initial inspection. After going over options and scheduling, Gabe D., came out to the home. He explained everything he was going to do that day and was quick inside and outside. Will definitely recommend their services.

DIY prevention tips

  • Close gaps in siding, eaves and soffits, cover vents with sturdy screening that still lets air through, and screen off the space under window air conditioners.
  • Cover ledges and window sills with a board or metal piece set at a steep 45-degree angle so birds can't perch.
  • Hang bird netting under rafters, porch ceilings and other overhangs where birds roost.
  • Clean up spilled grain and birdseed, and don't feed pigeons.
  • Call a professional for large roosts, heavy droppings or nests that are hard to reach instead of tackling them yourself.

Common questions

Are birds covered by my plan?

No. Birds aren't part of our pest control plans. Wildlife Control starts with a free wildlife inspection.

Why are birds nesting in my dryer vent?

Dryer and bathroom vents are warm, sheltered openings, which makes them an easy nesting spot for birds like sparrows and starlings. A vent with a missing or broken cover is an easy way in.

How do I know if birds are in my vents?

Listen for chirping or rustling inside the vent, and watch for birds flying in and out. Nesting material poking out of the vent cover is another sign.

What kinds of birds nest in vents and gutters?

Sparrows, starlings and pigeons are the birds most often found nesting in vents, gutters, eaves and signs.

How can I keep birds from nesting on my house?

Keep vent covers and screens in good repair, clean out gutters and seal gaps along the roof and eaves. Don't leave pet food or spilled bird seed near the house.
