As beautiful and appealing as birds can be, they can still present many challenges to property owners.. Additionally, like many other wildlife animals, birds can transmit diseases to people while also practicing nesting, feeding, and other habits which could sometimes be a nuisance to people. Wildlife control services are often engaged to handle problems with birds Sparrows are one species that cause people throughout Ontario to seek professional animal control services.

Sparrow Nests and the Problems the Cause

Sparrows unwittingly introduce pathogens to humans that result in health issues. These pathogens are carried by the birds themselves as well as their droppings.  Sparrow droppings also create an unpleasant odour which makes the space uncomfortable to use. Bird droppings also undermine the structural integrity of buildings especially those made with softer material such as wood.

How Sparrow Nests Can be Problematic for You

Homes that end up being sites of sparrow nests have elevated fire risks. This is because the birds’ nesting material is quite flammable. They normally install dried vegetation in existing cracks or holes and later line the space with softer material such as feathers. In addition to creating a fire hazard, sparrow nests on walls may also lead to a bug infestation inside your home. Bugs are attracted to these nests and from there they tend to move inside of the building.

Keeping Sparrows Away

Since sparrows are fond of nesting in cracks or holes, one of the most effective methods of keeping them at bay is to ensure that the building is free of these breaches. Frequent inspection for potential sparrow nest sites and prompt repairs will go a long way in ensuring that the birds are denied the opportunity to take up residence in the walls of your home.
