Bird Removal

How We Help You

Birds can become a significant nuisance for homeowners, property managers, and businesses throughout Oshawa and the Durham Region when they nest on rooftops, inside vents, beneath soffits, around solar panels, or on commercial buildings. The area is home to a wide variety of bird species, including starlings, pigeons, house sparrows, swallows, and Canada geese. Although these birds are an important part of the local ecosystem, they can quickly become a problem when they choose your property as a nesting or roosting site. Nesting materials can block dryer and bathroom vents, create fire hazards, and restrict proper airflow, while bird droppings can stain buildings, damage roofing materials, attract insects, and create serious sanitation concerns. Droppings may also contain bacteria and fungal spores associated with diseases such as histoplasmosis, making professional removal and cleanup the safest solution.

For over 20 years, Integrity Wildlife Control has provided professional, humane bird removal services across Oshawa and throughout the Durham Region, helping protect both residential and commercial properties from recurring bird problems. Every service begins with a comprehensive inspection to identify the bird species, locate nesting and roosting areas, determine how the birds are accessing the building, and develop a customized exclusion strategy. Once the birds have been safely removed in accordance with Ontario wildlife regulations, our technicians remove all nesting materials, thoroughly clean and disinfect contaminated areas, and deodorize affected spaces. To prevent future infestations, we install durable bird exclusion systems, including bird spikes, heavy-duty netting, vent covers, and other professional deterrents designed to stop birds from nesting or roosting on your property. Our goal is to deliver a long-term bird control solution that keeps your Oshawa or Durham Region home or business clean, protected, and free from unwanted bird activity.

ABC's of Birds

Appearance

We help remove various bird species, but some of the most common pests include Pigeons, Starlings, Sparrows, and Canadian Geese. Pigeons have been called "rats with wings" because of their prevalence and ability to get anywhere. Their wings are light gray with black bands, and their necks are purplish green. Sparrows are small birds that are brown with a light chest. Starlings are blackish and have various spotting patterns. Canadian Geese are the largest birds we control. They have a black head, and a white chin strap. Their large bodies are tan and brown, and they boast the largest wingspan of bird pests at 125-185 cm.

Behavior 

Birds have various behaviors depending on their species. Pigeons prefer the cities where they are often seen on the street, walking around eating what they can find. Starlings prefer yards and woodlands and hop around. Starlings travel in large groups of thousands, called a murmuration. Canadian Geese fly in their famous V formation and are so devoted to each other that they travel in pairs and mate for life.

Cycle of Life 

Many bird species that are viewed as pests are migratory birds. They fly to warmer temperatures when it gets below freezing and then return as the weather changes. Some birds prefer to build their nests as high as possible, and others make their nests on the ground. Most birds have 4 or 5 eggs and the official nesting season in Ontario is from February until August. During this period, birds are busy building their nests, sitting on the eggs, and feeding their young. Many bird species in Ontario can live over 20 years.

Are the birds harmed during the removal? 

​

No. We never harm animals and take extreme measures not to harm birds or their young. Some birds are protected and require following specific safe handling practices. If the birds have eggs we place them in a box close to their original location so that the mother can tend to the eggs. 

​

Where do birds build their nests? 

​

Birds nest anywhere that is off the ground and safe from predators. Common places include roof vents, wall vents, gutters, garages, under porches, and roofs and windows. The nests need to be removed even if the birds are no longer nesting because the nest can contain dangerous bacteria and cause Histoplasmosis. 

​

How can I prevent birds from pooping on my property? 

​

While it is impossible to prevent flying birds from occasionally pooping on your vehicles or house, birds can be prevented from nesting in an area and getting droppings on a site. Custom nets, spikes, and other exclusions can control your home or business from becoming an unsanitary location by nesting birds. 

​

What diseases do birds carry? 

​

There are many health issues derived from birds and bird waste, such as 

Lyme disease, Histoplasmosis, Salmonella, and E.Coli. The birds and their nesting material are a breeding ground for bacteria. Extreme caution needs to be taken when removing nesting material, and fitted respirators and gloves must be worn. If the nesting material is in the vents of a home, the danger lies in the bacteria being circulated through the air system. Bird and nesting removal is a job best left to professionals who are trained in safe handling and cleaning. 

​

What if I find a baby bird in my yard? 

​

If you find a baby bird in your yard, you should leave it alone. When baby birds (fledgling) are growing up, they venture out of the nest and are often aided by their parents in finding food. While it might look like the bird is abandoned, it is actually being well taken care of by the parents. 

​

How much is bird removal? 

​

Bird removal cost depends based on the location and measures that need to be taken to prevent the birds from returning. Bird removal and deodorization start at $289. To get a better estimate, give us a call so that we can have a better understanding of your situation and needs.
