Integrated Bird Management in Dallas
Serving Dallas - Fort Worth Texas Metro
In their natural habitat, birds are often viewed as majestic. However, when they are flocking around your commercial property, they quickly lose some of their magic. These winged creatures turn into pests that leave behind a displeasing mess of feathers and droppings on your grounds, increasing your maintenance costs. Not only can they negatively impact your physical building, but also your brand image and reputation.
Birds can transmit over 60 diseases and compromise air quality, causing serious health and safety concerns. Texas’s consistently favorable weather makes these warm-blooded animals a problem year-round. But constantly spending money on repairs and cleaning efforts rarely solves the problem. Exclusion tactics alone only relocate the problem, and the costs can be astonishing. Rentokil's Integrated Bird Management program can solve your nuisance bird problems through an innovative and comprehensive approach of trapping, removal, and targeted exclusion techniques in critical areas.

Most common nuisance bird species
Many of the bird species in Dallas are good to have around, thanks to their attractive plumage and birdsongs. However, some birds can become a serious issue in the wrong locations.
Crows:
Crows can become a real issue for businesses in Dallas, particularly the rooftops of buildings in urban areas, and surrounding farms, orchards and more. They can cause major damage to fruits and crops as well as the structure of commercial buildings due to their roosting and nesting habits.
House sparrows:
The house sparrow is one of the most common species of bird in the country. They are experts at gaining entry to almost any space, swarming in overwhelming numbers outside of establishments, especially those near food. They are also extremely noisy and will make their nests in inconvenient and even problematic areas, such as air vents.
Pigeons:
Pigeons are infamously known for causing a number of issues for properties in Dallas. Their droppings contain uric acid which is highly corrosive, resulting in damage to the exterior of commercial buildings. The debris they leave behind from roosting can also lead to water damage by blocking gutters and drains.
Starlings:
Over the years, starling populations have grown significantly in urban areas like Dallas. When they gather in large roosting flocks, they generate loud offensive noises as well as a large number of droppings that can cause erosion to the side of buildings. They are also a medical concern because of the numerous diseases associated with them.
Woodpeckers:
This bird species gets its name from its habit of repeatedly pecking wood for food, creating shelter and attracting mates. They are considered nuisances because of their damaging attacks on wood structures and loud racket that comes from their pecking.

Business Implications of Birds
The presence of birds can create dangerous conditions for your employees, patrons, and guests. They can lower air quality, damage equipment, contaminate products, and create a mess that is difficult to clean up. In some cases, the mere sight of birds can be cause for audit failure or inspection, often leading to shutdowns and lost revenue.
The following property features are some of the places birds are likely to congregate, nest, and roost:
- Building exteriors
- Sign lettering
- Open parking lots with light posts
- Unsecured dumpsters
- Flat roof areas
- HVAC units
- Wall voids
- Steeples
- Balconies, ledges, chimney stacks, guttering, and culverts
- Tree cavities
These areas may require extra attention when it comes to bird exclusion. Be sure to monitor them regularly for increased bird activity.
