Birds detected in eaves and attic
-
- Install bird netting over eave openings, vents, and soffits to physically block access. Secure tightly.
- Attach deterrent spikes, cones or wire spikes to problem areas to prevent perching and nest building.
- Use sensory deterrents like fake predator eyes or ultrasonic devices. Birds avoid perceived threats.
- Apply repellent gels to eaves and vents. The sticky texture deters nest building. Reapply after rain.
- Remove any existing nests and materials to avoid re-use. Be sure no eggs or young are present if removing nests.
- Limit outdoor food sources like open compost piles or pet food that can attract birds.
