As creatures of true flight, birds are good at protecting themselves since they are capable of choosing the most remote and out-of-reach places to nest. They have first pick of the tallest trees, natural landings, cliffs, and hillsides. And although this is good for survival purposes, it tends to pose a bit of a problem for homeowners since birds often choose to make their nests on roofs, and in gutters, chimneys, vents, and attics. These areas are the most common places to find bird infestations in both residential and commercial properties. Houses and buildings with tall trees surrounding their property or tree canopies covering their rooftops are at higher risk of nuisance bird problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">If you suspect that birds might be a problem around your\nhome, continue reading to learn the most common signs to look for, and what to\ndo if you discover a bird infestation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"510\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wildliferemovalindianapolis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Bird-Removal-and-Control-Indianapolis-Indiana-e1574707085816.jpg\" alt=\"Indianapolis Bird Removal 317-257-2290\" class=\"wp-image-433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wildliferemovalindianapolis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Bird-Removal-and-Control-Indianapolis-Indiana-e1574707085816.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.wildliferemovalindianapolis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Bird-Removal-and-Control-Indianapolis-Indiana-e1574707085816-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wildliferemovalindianapolis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Bird-Removal-and-Control-Indianapolis-Indiana-e1574707085816-768x435.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption>Indianapolis Bird Removal 317-257-2290<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hazards Posed By Bird Infestations<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>The top nuisance bird species in Indiana include pigeons,\nstarlings, grackles, crows, and house sparrows, but woodpeckers, crows, and\nwaterfowl follow closely behind. It is important to resolve a nuisance bird\nproblem before it can turn into a destructive infestation. If you already have\na bird infestation on your hands, it is equally important to get professional\nassistance as soon as possible. The longer you wait to remedy a bird\ninfestation, the more damages can accumulate, which will add to the total cost\nand time it takes to renovate the mess. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More unfavorably, bird infestations can pose several health risks, including transmissible respiratory diseases and lung infections such as <em>histoplasmosis <\/em>and <em>cryptococcosis<\/em>. They can also pose risks of lice, bird mites, fleas, and other parasite invasions. Bird eggs are also a target for snakes, which means a bird infestation can quickly lead to a nuisance snake problem too. Be sure you know the signs of a bird infestation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Signs of a Bird Infestation<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u27b3 Chirping Sounds in Walls<br>\u27b3 Chirping Sounds in Chimney<br>\u27b3 Chirping Sounds Coming From Attic<br>\u27b3 Large Amounts of Bird Droppings in a Concentrated Area<br>\u27b3 Evidence of Nests or Nesting Materials <br>\u27b3 Swarms of Birds on the Roof or Nearby Power Lines<br>\u27b3 Evidence of Pecking <br>\u27b3 Increased Insect Activity<br>\u27b3 Lice or Flea Outbreak<br>\u27b3 Strong Lingering Odors<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bird Removal and Control in Indianapolis<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Call 317-257-2290<\/strong> for prompt and professional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wildliferemovalindianapolis.com\/Indianapolis-pigeon-woodpecker-removal.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Indianapolis pigeon and woodpecker removal (opens in a new tab)\">Indianapolis pigeon and woodpecker removal<\/a>, anytime.
