Birds Behind Shutters

Birds nesting behind your window shutters is common in Hendersonville. Especially birds nest behind shutters on stone-faced houses. We specialize in all forms of bird removal and bird control, especially birds living in shutters.

First, we must determine what species of bird it is. Our bird control experts in Sumner County will be able to identify all of the common nuisance birds in Hendersonville. The most common species of bird to use shutters as nesting sites are the English House Sparrow followed by European Starlings. These are small birds, small enough for the birds to fit between shutters and houses.

Once the birds are behind the shutters on your house they will begin nesting. This can cause multiple problems. They can be very unsightly with birds’ nest debris and feces running down your house and windows. Bird feces are also known to hold over 50 diseases and pathogens. The birds behind the shutters can cause a health risk. Also, some species of birds become protective of their nest and will swoop down to try and scare you away.

Upon inspection our bird removal pest control specialist will determine the species of bird and its phase of nesting. This will determine our next steps. Being a bird removal pest control company we require all of our technicians to be trained and certified for bird removal in Hendersonville. If we determine that it is not a protected species and it can be removed we will begin our bird removal process.

First we will remove the birds nest from behind the shutters and scare away the birds. Our bird removal experts may determine it is necessary to remove the shutters. Do not worry we can re-install them. Then we will clean up and disinfect the area of the birds nest and shutter. This will help mitigate and safely remove the birds’ nest.

After the birds are removed and the area sanitized it will be time to keep the birds out. This is done differently depending on the species of bird and area in the country. In Tennessee our bird control and removal specialist will normally exclude the birds by installing a bird proof material behind the shutters to prevent birds from getting in. We may also install visual bird deterrents to deter birds from the area.
