Welcome to Annapolis Bird Control: Prevention and Removal of Unwanted Birds
Our company specializes in resolving problems caused by birds in Annapolis, Maryland, both residential and commerical. We handle bird species such as pigeons, starlings, grackles, sparros, and even Canada Geese and woodpeckers. We generally don't kill birds - we prevent them from causing problems. Most commonly, this means that we install barriers that prevent them access to your building or property, or anti-roosting devices that prevent them from landing, nesting, or roosting on your home, store, building, or anywhere. We use netting, needle strips, shock track, and more. We do offer trapping in some cases, and removal of birds from warehouses, grocery stores, or other commerical or industrial buildings by netting or sometimes pellet shooting. We have a wide variety of tools and methods for solving every manner of bird problem. Call us at 443-716-7181 to discuss your bird problem today.Our Work

More About Us Annapolis Bird Control:
Our company embraces a humane and eco-friendly approach when doing bird removal and exclusion services. Our all-inclusive method constitutes the removal and exclusion of the bird, disposal, sanitation, and preventive measures. Birds are known for spreading at least 60 types of zoonotic diseases such as histoplasmosis, Salmonellosis, encephalitis, and meningitis. They may also carry parasites that can transfer to your pets and you. Therefore, you must find a company that will not only remove the bird but also eradicates the microorganisms that they will leave behind. With our bird control services, we can guarantee that we will prevent health risks and property damages related to bird infestation. Our technicians can use a range of devices and techniques that will stop the nuisance birds from roosting or nesting on our residential properties and commercial buildings. Whether you need a comprehensive bird removal service, or you are just looking for a free consultation, call us anytime. Our customer representatives are knowledgeable and trained to answer most of your concerns related to bird problems. Our technicians can conduct a detailed inspection of the site and determine both feeding and watering sites, as well as their loafing, roosting, and nesting locations. We can also offer habitat modifications to discourage these birds from visiting our house.Nest Removal for Pigeons
It does sound as though nest removal might be the best outcome for a pest pigeon problem, but in reality, things are very different. The location of pigeon nests is one that the birds will remember for many, many years, which means there's no doubt they'll try to come back at some point. These birds also tend to be a little ... picky ... about the exact places of roosting and nesting spots. They might recognize the nest in its new place, but they won't like it much. In fact, they are more likely to avoid going anywhere near the nest and could abandon it completely.
When the parent pigeons abandon the nest, they kind-of become your responsibility. The pigeon squabs or eggs will either die or not hatch without the parents present, and it won't be pleasant for you to slowly watch a nest full of baby pigeons die in that manner. Even if they were to survive on whatever food source you provided for them, they wouldn't have the parents around to teach them how to do important things, such as flying and finding food. These are not things that you can teach the pigeon youngsters yourself, so you'd be effectively left with a nest of new children. (And no, it's not a very good idea to have pigeon pets.)
What happens if you find a nest of orphaned pigeons?
Firstly, there's a good chance that the pigeon nest isn't actually orphaned at all and the mother will come back for it.
Secondly, you can't disrupt the nest in any way, because this will cause the pigeon parents to abandon the nest even if they hadn't already.
Thirdly, disrupting or moving the nest doesn't actually solve the problem. If the nest is inside your building, you must work out how the parents got in, in the first place. If the nest isn't inside your building, you'll still need to check out the upper levels and other rarely-visited areas of the home, building or property. Pigeons tend to roost somewhere close to where they feed, so if they're feeding close to where your property is, the nest could be actually on it.
Who should I call?
Local pest control organizations and professionals can help with pigeons, although they are likely to offer their services at a cost. In cases such as this — when a nest has been found and it does appear to be orphaned — the youngsters, also known as squabs, will then be put down. They won't have the chance to survive without their mother or father around to feed them, and then teach them how to feed themselves, fly, and build a nest.
Local pigeon rehabilitators are rare, but they do exist. The internet or local phone book can help you to find a professional rehabber in or around your local area.
