"There were three phases of work: 1. Trap the rabbits and insure there where no rabbits in the crawl space. This took 2 - 3 weeks. Only one rabbit was caught – there are still rabbits in the area - but the crawl space was deemed free of rabbits. So we could move on to stage 2. 2. Clean up: remove all the vapor barrier from the crawl space and replace it with new vapor barrier. Then ‘fog’ the space with an anti-bacterial agent. The vapor barrier replacement was the bulk of the cost and seems to be a decent job. The first application of the fogger was not done adequately (according to me) but CC was happy to come back and do a more comprehensive fog. 3. A one year guarantee plan that included securing the entire house against incursion and periodic checks. There was some confusion about whether the guarantee included rats and mice (which had not been an issue with us but something I thought we paid for) but CC was good about working through the issue with us to everyones’ satisfaction. Overall the team was professional and good to work with. There where separate teams (trappers, cleanup, back office) and it was not clear that everyone was always on the same page. Our ‘manager’ was the original sales guy and we never really saw him throughout the process. My impression was he was focused on sales and not on follow through. BUT overall the team was good and the co-owner (Tim), who finished up with us (e.g. refogging), was great. I'm happy to recommend Portland Critter Control. Thanks Tim and team."

"Excellent! If you care about quality work use M & S Wildlife Co. M & S Wildlife were the first company that was willing to thoroughly inspect my attic for not only squirrel activity but for any damage that the squirrels did to my wiring and roof. I never would have known I needed to attend to potentially dangerous repairs without Mikes inspection. I had other companies come prior to hiring M & S Wildlife and they did not even see I had a dead squirrel In my attic let alone any damage. Honestly, I wish I would have called them first!"

FAQs for bird and bat pest control service projects in Banks, OR

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.
