The Costly Impact of Untreated Bird Infestations

Nuisance birds are not just an annoyance; they are a source of serious and costly structural damage to both residential and commercial buildings. When birds establish a consistent roosting area, the accumulating droppings, or guano, contain uric acid, which is highly corrosive and can eat away at everything from metal HVAC units to masonry, stone, and even the protective coatings on your roof. This leads to premature deterioration and expensive maintenance issues.

Furthermore, bird activity can compromise vital systems in your home or business. Nests are often built in the most inconvenient and damaging places, quickly leading to blockages and fire hazards. Addressing this damage requires a prompt, professional intervention that focuses on cleanup, restoration, and permanent exclusion.

• Acidic Corrosion: Bird droppings accelerate the aging of building materials, causing pitting and discoloration on paint, metal, signage, and roofing, which leads to rust and leaks.
• Blocked Drainage: Nests built in gutters, downspouts, and chimney flues clog the systems, causing water to pool and back up into the structure, leading to serious water damage inside walls and attics.
• Health Risks: Dried droppings can become airborne dust, spreading diseases like Histoplasmosis and Cryptococcosis when inhaled. Birds also bring secondary pests like mites, ticks, and fleas onto the property.
• Solar Panel Inefficiency: Birds commonly nest underneath solar panels for shelter, where their droppings and nesting debris reduce the efficiency of the panels and can damage wiring, requiring costly professional repair.
• Slip and Fall Hazards: Accumulations of fresh and old guano on sidewalks, loading docks, and entryways create significant, dangerous slip-and-fall liability issues for property owners.

Do not wait for the noise and contamination to cause thousands of dollars in repairs. Timely action protects your structure and the health of its occupants.

Our Advanced Approach to Effective Bird Control

Successfully resolving a complex bird issue requires a strategic, multi-layered approach centered on humane exclusion and long-term prevention, not extermination. At A-Tex Pest Management, we utilize the principles of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) to assess the specific bird species, the property's architecture, and the primary attractants to design a custom solution that guarantees results. Our goal is to make your structure physically undesirable for roosting and nesting without harming the birds.

As local owners, we have local responsibility and ensure that our team, backed by over 23 years of combined experience, uses state-certified methods that are both highly effective and compliant with all state and federal wildlife protection laws. We provide a thorough solution with a personal hometown touch.

• Detailed Site Assessment: We conduct an initial, comprehensive inspection to identify the specific species (Pigeon, Grackle, Starling), pinpoint all roosting and nesting locations, and assess the extent of guano contamination and property damage.
• Customized Exclusion Planning: We design a tailored system using durable, specialized materials such as bird netting to block large areas, stainless steel spikes for ledges, tension wire systems for rooflines, and screening for vents and solar panels.
• Professional Installation: Our state-certified technicians expertly install all exclusion devices to ensure they are discreet, aesthetically pleasing, and permanently effective, preventing the birds from landing or gaining access to critical areas.
• Guano Cleanup and Decontamination: We safely remove all contaminated droppings and nesting materials using specialized tools and protocols to eliminate health risks like fungal spores, followed by full disinfection of the affected surfaces.
• Follow-Up and Warranty: We provide monitoring and maintenance tips post-installation to ensure the system remains effective, and we stand by the quality of our work to prevent future bird re-establishment.

Trust A-Tex Pest Management to provide you with the most effective, safest, and highest quality Bird Control service available in the Austin area.

Why Relying on DIY Bird Control Fails

Bird control, particularly for persistent pests like pigeons and grackles, is a task that should be handled by licensed professionals. Most birds are protected by law, and incorrect removal or the use of illegal methods can lead to substantial fines and failed results. Store-bought scare tactics, like plastic owls or rubber snakes, offer only temporary relief and are quickly recognized as fake by the intelligent bird population.

A professional technician has the training to identify the exact species and their behavioral patterns, which is essential because different birds require different deterrents. Crucially, they possess the high-reach equipment and expertise to safely and properly install permanent exclusion devices on high-risk areas like rooflines, solar panels, and complex building facades.

Furthermore, professionals are equipped to handle the significant biohazard posed by accumulated guano. Attempting to clean these highly acidic and potentially disease-ridden droppings without proper personal protective equipment (PPE) and containment procedures is a major risk to personal health. Hiring an expert is the only way to ensure a humane, legal, safe, and truly permanent solution.
