"Steve was great he came within 1 hour of my call. He treated yellow jackets behind my siding and told me they should be gone in 2 days. I didn’t believe him to be honest because I had previously treated the same spot with delta and drione dust. His stuff was better. Two days later no wasp would go into the treated areas. He said if it didn’t work he would come back to retreat. Now only a few stragglers are left. Thanks Steve."

"I can't recommend AC Wildlife more. Angel is incredibly knowledgeable and thorough. He performed exclusion to control our wasp situation and also came back to dust when the problem persisted. He also sealed the house from mice. Communication with Angel and his wife was great. Angel knows construction as well as pest control and really is the perfect solution. Every other pest control place in the area wants a contract and comes to do a mediocre lip-service job every few months. Angel and his family run business care. Truly fantastic, Thanks AC!"

FAQs for bird and bat pest control service projects in New Paltz, NY

You're likely to find nesting birds in external areas such as your gutters, eaves, porches, and chimneys. Some birds also nest in less obvious spots, like attics or even in your ventilation systems if they gain access. A reputable pro will conduct an inspection before starting any work to check for evidence of where birds may have set up roosting or nesting sites in your home.

Leaving birds to roost and nest on your home creates significant risks that affect both your home's structure and your well-being. The constant droppings, aggressive swooping, and persistent noise can damage siding, allow moisture intrusion, and stain exterior finishes. In addition, the birds’ pecking and droppings can spread diseases and parasites, which can lead to escalating repair costs and health hazards.

Yes, humane removal is possible and ensures that birds remain unharmed during the extraction process. Experts use proven methods to safely capture and relocate both birds and their nests to secure environments. Professionals employ stainless steel spikes as a deterrent while avoiding harmful techniques such as poisons or glue traps. You can rely on trusted specialists who strictly use safe, noninjurious methods, thereby protecting the birds while resolving the nuisance.

Yes, there are legal considerations when removing birds and their nests. You must adhere to strict local and state regulations, which safeguard protected native species during nesting season. Special authorization is required to remove protected birds, their nests, or eggs under the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Observing these legal mandates avoids violations and ensures safe, responsible removal.

To prevent birds from returning after nest removal, you can implement deterrent methods. Installing stainless steel spikes creates a secure barrier that prevents birds from roosting without causing injury. In contrast, loose nets may entangle birds and other wildlife, creating additional hazards. A trusted professional will choose and install the optimal method to keep your home bird-free.

A bird’s nest remains viable for a period that depends on the species. The construction phase concludes within 2 days to 3 weeks, followed by a rearing stage lasting 2 to 10 weeks. Most birds become fully independent within 2 to 6 weeks, while certain predatory species require up to 2 1/2 months. This timeline can guide you on when it's safe to intervene.
