Birds are beautiful to watch in flight, but the fact of the matter is that they leave unsightly and potentially dangerous bird droppings behind that can be dangerous to human health. Below, our pest control company in Denver will offer up some ways you can keep birds away from your home. Call Colorado Pest Management services today.
Hang Flashy Objects from Trees
Shiny objects reflect sunlight, and they bother birds’ eyes and can make it harder for them to fly and find food. Foil, old CDs, aluminum cans, or small mirrors can be hung near areas that birds tend to congregate near your home.
Place a Fake Predatory Bird Nearby
Birds have many natural predators that they are wary of and avoid. These include cats, other predatory birds, owls, dogs, and more. You can place plastic statues of these birds or cats around your property in order to deter birds. Scarecrows work, too. However, be sure to move them every few days or birds will begin to get used to them and ignore them.
Invest in Bird Spikes
Spikes are long and narrow, which make them hard for birds to grasp when they land. Bird spikes can be handmade from nails, tin, or plastic cans, or you can purchase these. Place them in areas where birds roost to deter them from your home.
Make Your Property Unattractive to Birds
Birds go where they can easily find food. By making your home and property inhibitive to bird habitats, they will find somewhere else to roost. Grains, fruits, and even pests, such as grasshoppers and mosquitos are attractive to birds. Most definitely don’t invest in a birdbath! Do your best to not attract birds to your property.
