We don’t usually think of birds as a nuisance, but if you have birds that have flown into your home or are nesting or roosting on your house or property, they can become a serious problem that requires bird control. While spring birds bring music and color to our yards, they can also create a racket and a mess. Flocks of birds create a hazard with their droppings, cause damage to your roof and siding, and can rob your trees of fruit.
How do you rid your property of birds that fly up into the air and then settle back down again? With over 100 offices throughout the U.S. and over 40 years of experience, Critter Control of San Jose offers bird pest control solutions that are safe, humane, and effective.
There are a handful of bird species that are commonly considered nuisances:
Critter Control of San Jose has the experience and expertise to effectively and humanely solve bird control issues for every type of bird.
Every bird control service begins with an inspection of the area of concern. Critter Control’s first task is to identify the specific bird species using their knowledge of visual identification, bird nests, auditory calls, and behavior. Your wildlife specialist will engineer a plan to solve the problem and prevent any recurrence based on species, federal, state, or local laws, and the severity of the infestation.
During your inspection, Critter Control of San Jose will thoroughly examine areas such as your roof, chimney, vents, decks, garages, soffits, and sheds, as well as the conditions around your home that may have attracted the birds to your property.
We consider the safety and well-being of you, your family, your pets, and the birds when doing removal. Unless birds are trapped in a vent or your basement, they are difficult to capture and remove. Because they take flight and land again, the best bird control solution is to make the area less attractive to the birds by deterring them from landing, roosting, or nesting.
Critter Control’s wildlife specialists are expertly trained and can make informed decisions about methods and materials that are right for your specific situation.
Once the birds have been dispersed, Critter Control of San Jose will clean the affected area and apply sanitizing agents to ensure any health and safety risks to you and your family are eliminated.
In commercial circumstances, birds roosting on rooftops, behind neon signs, and nesting in warehouses pose health hazards, compliance and financial risks, and loss of reputation. For commercial properties, an overall bird control management plan that includes removal, regularly scheduled monitoring, and maintenance is essential.
The strategy for bird-proofing, exclusion, and prevention is to make the space the birds are occupying difficult to access and make the surrounding environment less attractive to them.
For areas outside of your home or business, such as roofs, soffits, and trees, tactics can include sealing gaps, adding mesh and caps to chimneys and vents, and installing spikes to keep birds from roosting and nesting. Reflective objects, decoys of predators, and auditory deterrents can be placed in and around your trees.
Critter Control of San Jose might also recommend habitat modification techniques, such as removing food, water, and shelter from your property. Removing bird feeders, trimming trees and bushes, and netting fruit trees are a few examples.

Chris came out, inspected the house, perimeter, and attic. He correctly diagnosed the issue, and set the appropriate traps in the right locations. Within a day we had caught the rat. Chris returned and set additional traps to make sure the issue had been resolved. He then closed all potential entry holes ensuring future rodents would not be able to return. Chris and Critter Control did an amazing job and I would recommend them highly. Shiri Porat2024-08-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have had a fantastic experience with Critter Control and especially with Steve. Steve was very professional and took the time to discuss the rodent problem we were facing and how we can solve it. He was very easy to communicate with, friendly, and always came on time and you could see that he really cared about helping us solve our problem. He is very experienced and explained rodent behavior really well. The rodents were trapped and we are happy being without them - thank you Steve! Katrina Smallwood2024-07-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly highly highly recommend! Michael and the team over there were completely knowledgeable, responsive, and more than helpful with our raccoon problem. While we would have loved for the raccoons to leave on their own we unfortunately needed them removed from our property. Based out of San Jose the team there works 7 days a week and we're able to respond weekends as well for trap removal. They were experts in the field and provided their knowledge and expertise to making our home and yard safe again for our young children to play in J.

Good service, on time, experts. Been using them for 20 years. Highly recommend this business. Rich Wales2021-05-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. In spite of being pretty careful about sealing up possible entry points to my house, I heard a scratching sound from a wall in my kitchen a few weeks ago. These guys came out and quickly identified the problem and found the point of entry, as well as several other possible entry points around the perimeter of my house. They set traps and gave me an estimate for repair work, which I reviewed with them in detail and then approved. Work was completed efficiently on time and very professionally. I don't envy these guys their jobs - they work in some pretty nasty conditions. But they were knowledgeable, responsible, very professional, and seemed to genuinely enjoy solving my problem. I trust that they could deal with almost any residential pest problem. Their objective is to seal up your property so nothing can get in as opposed to coming to your house to spray it with poison every month. So far so good! Kelley Wolf2021-03-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This company is very well organized and thorough. You are assigned one person and that person does all the inspection and follow up. Steve was very professional and courteous. The inspection was thorough and they sealed our home from rodents. It's not inexpensive but we paid half as much a few years ago to have the house rat proofed and it didn't work so we felt the investment was worth it. I found many good reviews for them online and through Nextdoor before hiring them. Steve also built custom doors for our crawlspaces which look great. Nice guys and easy to have around. I appreciated their hard work and professionalism.Google rating score: 4.9 of 5, based on 105 reviewsVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
