Bird and Bat Control

Birds and bats present a special challenge when they get inside a home or structure because they will almost always be high in rafters, out of reach, and flying about to avoid capture. Our professionals at Smith Wildlife use advanced and humane techniques to catch birds and bats so they can be safely removed and relocated.

Birds

Depending on the species, birds damage crops and foliage, contaminate food and water with droppings, and disrupt with odors and noise. Pigeons are common problems in urban areas while sparrows can cause issues nesting in vents and soffits in suburban areas. We focus on removing the birds and all traces before helping you with habitat modification, including exclusion, to prevent future events.

Bats

These nocturnal creatures’ range in length from 2 inches to 8 inches, so you may not even notice the smallest ones that take up residence in your chimney, barn, garage, or attic. Bats will typically seek out a dark, safe place to roost or hibernate, leading to issues with droppings and odor. They carry diseases, including rabies, but more commonly bat bugs. We strongly recommend our professional services to ensure the bats are safely removed (some species are endangered) and the droppings cleaned out to prevent odors from causing permanent damage.
