Problem Birds? Akita Safely Removes Birds & Nests To Protect Your Property
Having birds nest on your property is more than just a nuisance. Bird nests and droppings can actually damage your property, create unsanitary conditions, and even pose health risks.
At Akita Pest Control, we offer professional bird removal and control services. We’re here to safely and effectively solve your bird problems and keep them from coming back. We know how important it is to protect your property, and we always handle these situations humanely and responsibly.
The Hidden Dangers of Bird Nests & Droppings
While birds themselves can be pleasant, their nests and droppings around your property can lead to significant problems:
- Health Risks: Bird droppings can harbor bacteria, fungi, and parasites, potentially transmitting diseases like Histoplasmosis, Cryptococcosis, and Salmonellosis.
- Property Damage: Nesting materials can clog gutters and drains, leading to water damage. Acidic droppings can stain and corrode building materials.
- Attract Other Pests: Bird nests can attract insects and other pests, creating further infestations.
Our Professional Bird Removal & Control Process
Akita Pest Control follows a thorough process to ensure your bird problem is resolved effectively and safely:
- Initial Consultation & Inspection: For residential clients, we’ll conduct an in-person or video call interview to understand the situation. For commercial clients, we perform a free, detailed on-site inspection.
- Safe Nest Removal: Our trained technicians will carefully and safely remove existing bird nests, minimizing disruption and ensuring the safety of your property.
- Cleaning & Sanitation: Affected areas are cleaned to remove hazardous droppings and debris. Sanitation helps eliminate associated health risks.
- Exclusion & Deterrents: To prevent birds from returning, we implement humane and effective exclusion strategies. This may include installing bird netting, spikes, sealing entry points, or other deterrents tailored to your specific situation.
Bird Control Pricing for Homes & Businesses
Residential Bird Nest Removal:
Our services for homeowners start at $175. This typically includes the removal of a single, accessible nest (like one behind a first-floor shutter) and basic exclusion measures. Because every bird situation is unique (type of bird, nest location, accessibility, extent of exclusion needed), we require an in-person or video call interview to provide you with a precise quote.
Commercial Bird Management:
Bird infestations in commercial settings can be complex and require a specialized approach. We offer FREE in-person inspections for businesses to develop a comprehensive bird control strategy and estimate.

Bird Nest Removal FAQs
- What types of nuisance birds do you commonly handle in South Eastern Pennsylvania?
-
In South Eastern PA, including areas like Lancaster, York, Harrisburg, and Chester & Montgomery Counties, we frequently deal with common nuisance birds such as pigeons, starlings, house sparrows, and sometimes Canada geese in commercial settings. The specific type of bird often influences the removal and exclusion strategy.
- What does Akita Pest Control’s bird removal and exclusion process involve?
-
Our process starts with a thorough consultation (an in-person or video call interview for residential, a free on-site inspection for commercial) to understand the scope of the problem. This is followed by safe nest removal, cleaning and sanitizing the affected areas to remove hazardous droppings, and implementing tailored exclusion methods (like netting, spikes, or sealing entry points) to prevent birds from returning.

-
Absolutely. The safety of your family, pets, and property is a top priority for Akita Pest Control. We use humane methods where possible and ensure all treatments and exclusion materials are applied carefully and strategically by our trained technicians, consistent with EPA guidelines.
- Why are bird droppings and nests a concern?
-
Bird droppings can carry bacteria, fungi, and parasites, posing health risks such as Histoplasmosis or Salmonellosis. Nests can clog gutters leading to water damage, droppings can corrode building materials, and both can attract other pests like insects.
- When are birds most actively building nests on properties in South Eastern PA?
-
While some bird activity can occur year-round, the peak nesting season for many common nuisance birds in South Eastern Pennsylvania typically runs from early spring through late summer. You might notice increased activity, such as birds gathering materials or flying in and out of specific areas on your home or building during these months.
- Are properties near specific environmental features in South Eastern PA (e.g., rivers, parks, agricultural areas) more prone to bird nesting issues?
-
Yes, properties located near features like the Susquehanna River, local parks, wooded areas, or agricultural lands common in Lancaster, Berks, and surrounding counties can sometimes experience higher instances of bird activity. These areas naturally provide food, water, and shelter, making nearby structures potentially appealing for nesting. Akita Pest Control has experience addressing pest issues unique to these diverse local environments.
