Birds are a welcome sight in nature, but when they invade your property, they can quickly become a nuisance and even a hazard. In San Diego, common pest birds such as pigeons, sparrows, starlings, and seagulls can cause significant damage to homes, businesses, and public spaces. Bird Control is important. Their droppings are not only unsightly but also highly corrosive, damaging paint, roofing materials, and HVAC systems. Bird nests can clog gutters, block vents, and pose fire risks, while accumulated droppings may spread diseases such as histoplasmosis, salmonella, and cryptococcosis.

How Cartwright Termite & Pest Control Can Help You Protect Your Property

For over 60 years, Cartwright Termite & Pest Control has been helping property owners throughout San Diego safeguard their homes and businesses from pests of all types — including nuisance birds. Our team provides humane, effective, and legally compliant bird control solutions designed to protect your property, your health, and your peace of mind.

Understanding Bird Problems in San Diego

San Diego’s mild coastal climate provides ideal conditions for birds to thrive year-round. Unfortunately, when populations concentrate around urban and coastal areas, they can cause costly damage and sanitation concerns.

Common pest birds in the region include:

• Pigeons: Often found nesting under eaves, ledges, and rooftops. Their droppings can corrode metal, concrete, and paint.
• Seagulls: Common around coastal properties, restaurants, and parking lots. They can be aggressive scavengers and create messy conditions.
• Sparrows and starlings: Known for nesting in vents, signage, and structural cavities, leading to fire hazards and clogged air systems.

While birds are an important part of the ecosystem, it is crucial to handle infestations properly. Many species are protected under state and federal law, meaning that removal and deterrence must be performed legally and humanely.

Why Professional Bird Control Matters

Some property owners try temporary deterrents like decoys or reflective tape, but these rarely solve the problem for long. Birds quickly adapt to visual or auditory deterrents, and infestations often return within days or weeks.

Professional bird control goes beyond temporary fixes. At Cartwright Termite & Pest Control, we take an integrated approach — inspecting your property, identifying the specific bird species involved, and applying proven exclusion and deterrent methods that provide lasting protection.

Uncontrolled bird activity can lead to:

• Structural deterioration from droppings and nesting debris
• Health risks from airborne pathogens and parasites
• Fire hazards from nests near electrical systems
• Liability concerns from slip-and-fall accidents caused by droppings
• Reputational damage for businesses with visible bird issues

By addressing the root cause and sealing off access points, we help prevent these costly issues before they escalate.

Our Humane Bird Control Solutions

Cartwright Termite & Pest Control tailors each bird control plan to the property’s specific needs. We follow industry best practices and all local and federal wildlife protection regulations. Our team provides safe, non-lethal deterrents that discourage birds from nesting and roosting without causing harm.

Our most effective bird control methods include:

• Bird Netting: Creates a physical barrier that keeps birds out of sensitive areas such as warehouses, rooftops, loading docks, and signage.
• Bird Spikes: Stainless steel or plastic spikes installed on ledges, beams, and rooftops to prevent birds from landing or roosting.
• Bird Wire Systems: Subtle tensioned wires that deter birds from perching on narrow surfaces.
• Repellent Gels and Visual Deterrents: Non-toxic gels and reflective materials that make surfaces uncomfortable for birds to rest on.
• Exclusion and Sealing: Blocking entry points in vents, eaves, and attics to prevent nesting.
• Cleanup and Sanitation: Safe removal of bird droppings, nesting materials, and disinfecting affected areas to reduce health hazards.

Every method we use is environmentally responsible, minimally invasive, and designed for long-term effectiveness.
