Mitigating avian nesting activity on residential and commercial properties involves implementing strategies to render potential nesting sites unattractive or inaccessible to birds. This can encompass a range of methods, from physical barriers to sensory deterrents. For example, netting installed over eaves prevents access, while reflective surfaces disorient birds seeking nesting locations.
Effective management of bird nesting minimizes property damage, reduces the risk of disease transmission linked to bird droppings, and alleviates noise pollution associated with nesting activity. Historically, various techniques have been employed, evolving from simple scarecrows to sophisticated sonic devices, reflecting ongoing efforts to balance human interests with avian conservation.
