Liberty Pest Control provides wonderful service from start to finish! Their website is easy to use, making scheduling and managing appointments simple and convenient. Our technician, Gabe, was excellent. He arrived on time, was personable and professional, and took the time to walk me through the services he was performing. He was very thorough in his inspection and treatment, and I especially appreciated that he followed up afterward to explain what he found and answer any questions I had. I highly recommend Liberty Pest Control to anyone looking for reliable, friendly, and thorough pest control service!
Bird Control
Birds like pigeons, sparrows and starlings nest in vents, gutters and roof openings on homes and businesses. Liberty handles birds through wildlife control, and through 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.

How Liberty treats it
Free wildlife inspectionNot available in Bowling Green
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.
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.
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.

Bird Control
Book a free Pest Quality AuditDIY 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.
