Bird Infestations

When birds take up residence in your building’s roof or façade, there are a number of reasons why it’s important to take action. These feathered foes have the ability to do serious damage to your property, causing a building to look unkempt, and more seriously, staining your building’s façade and windows. After cleaning the structure, PSI can provide bird control by adding physical deterrents to the exterior of your building. Bird repellent spikes effectively discourage them from building their nests, or occupying space on your property.

Different species of bird require different remediation strategies. Aside from spikes, netting and other repellents can be used. PSI will assess your property to determine the best bird control system for it. Contact our office to schedule your consultation today.

Bird Control Options

There are many safe and humane ways to deter birds from nesting on your building. Choosing the right bird eradication method requires a careful consideration of several factors, including the species of bird, the nature and extent of the infestation, and the type of property, as well as the aesthetic considerations of altering a building's facade. PSI has been providing bird remediation services throughout PA and the surrounding states for over 20 years, and we specialize in bird removal for commmercial facilities. One of the reasons it's worth it to work with an experienced bird control company like PSI is that we use our longstanding industry expertise to find the best solution for your needs. Some of your options may include:

• Spikes: Spikes are a powerful physical deterrent for birds. Birds quickly learn that your building isn't a safe or comfortable place to nest, and will avoid it in the future. Spikes are useful on windowsills and eaves, rooftops, porches, HVAC equipment and other spaces where birds like to nest. Unfortunately, their main drawback is precisely what makes them so effective — their menacing appearance.



• Netting: Bird control netting is an alternative to spikes and barrier systems and is effective at keeping birds out of important spaces. It is humane and easy to maintain, while a variety of color and material options offer the flexibility to choose a product that doesn't stand out from your building's exterior. The most significant benefit of bird netting is its low cost — it is an excellent choice for protecting large areas without breaking the bank.



• Wires: Bird control wires are easy to install and don't stand out against a building's architectural components — from a distance, a small wire will be virtually invisible. They are highly effective at electrically deterring larger birds from perching on ledges and other long, exposed surfaces, though less useful when installed on more architecturally complex facades or when dealing with smaller pests. The wires are also equipped with solar boxes, meaning they use none of the building’s power and won’t hike up your electric bill.



• Renovations: Netting, wires and spikes are good short-term options for controlling nuisance birds. However, for a more permanent solution, it may be necessary to physically alter the exterior of your building. Adding in sloped facades or other components can make it impossible for birds to roost on your property. PSI can come up with creative solutions that work with your building and blend in seamlessly with its unique architectural features.

Our expertise spans both pest control and building repair/maintenance — rather than looking at bird infestation as an isolated problem, we see it in the context of your overall property and look for solutions that don't detract from the beauty and functionality of your building's exterior. It's for this reason that we're recognized as one of the best bird control companies in Pennsylvania.

Contact us at the first sign of a problem to learn more about our bird control services. Beyond the birds themselves, some things to look for include excessive droppings, unpleasant odors, persistent squawking or cooing sounds, and high numbers of flies and other pests. If you notice any of these signs, we'd be happy to provide a free consultation and prepare an estimate outlining various ways of solving the issue.

Spider Infestations

Spiders are one of the most common phobias in the world. PSI can help you control an outdoor spider problem by removing their nests from your building’s windows. We then thoroughly clean the windows and surrounding areas to get rid of any eggs, or blemishes caused by these pesky insects. Finally, we apply special pest control chemicals that discourage spiders from returning. This service is best provided in conjunction with your spring and fall window clean up and treatment.

PSI provides outdoor spider control services for businesses of any size. From office towers to low-rise buildings, we can quickly remediate even extensive infestations.
