The Importance of Commercial Bird Control
Bird infestations are more than just a nuisance—they pose significant risks to your business:
- Health Hazards: Birds and their droppings can transmit dangerous diseases, including histoplasmosis, salmonella, and avian flu. These risks are especially concerning in food service, healthcare, and retail environments.
- Property Damage: Bird droppings are corrosive and can permanently damage building materials, vehicles, and outdoor equipment. Nesting materials can clog drainage systems and create fire hazards in HVAC units.
- Business Reputation: A bird-infested property creates a poor impression on customers. Droppings, nests, and bird activity can damage your professional image and deter business.
If you notice signs of bird activity—such as nests, droppings, or flocks gathering on your property—it's time to seek professional bird control services.

Why DIY Bird Control Often Fails
While handling bird problems yourself may be tempting, DIY methods often prove ineffective and can lead to bigger issues. Inappropriate techniques may:

- Harm protected bird species, resulting in legal penalties
- Cause birds to relocate to another area of your property rather than leaving entirely

Great experience. Drake's Wildlife was quick with responses, honest and open about pricing. Once I asked to schedule an appointment they got me in within the same week I asked. I was recommended to them by a friend and I would recommend them to anyone who asks.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bird Control and Netting
