Starling Control
Starlings are one of the most irritating pest bird species. Starling control can be very tricky and almost always must be approached from several different angles all at once. Here are some things you should know about starlings and starling control:
- As with all pest bird species, an accumulation of starling feces will damage any structure. It is acidic and will damage most anything, including shingle, metal, tile or foam roofing; canopies, paint, stucco, plastic, stone, masonry, etc.
- Starlings will often build their nests inside of rain gutters and drainage pipes causing water to back up and damage the structure.
- Starlings really like building their nests in exhaust vents and exposed ductwork. Sometimes these nests can create a fire hazard.
- Their feces can harbor various bacteria, fungi and parasites when allowed to accumulate.
- Starlings are one of the worse pest bird species when it comes to agriculture. They eat and damage crops at an alarming rate.
- Staling control is often a must in livestock situations. Not only do they eat the feed intended for the livestock, but they also spread disease from one livestock operation to others.
