BIRD REMOVAL PROCESS
Assess and Remove
The first step in resolving a nuisance bird issue is a thorough understanding of the exact nature of the problem. Our customized removal plans take into account the species of bird involved, the affected areas of the home and the time of year.

Birds can be messy, their nesting material and droppings can cause home damage and result in unsanitary conditions. As part of the process our trained technicians will remove nests from vents, soffits and balconies and safely scrub away unhealthy droppings.
Prevent and Protect
Our prevention plans are customized to address the specific bird threats your home faces. Our technicians are trained to install protective barriers and devices designed to make your home inhospitable to birds.
Bird Control in Anne Arundel
Maryland has more than 450 species of birds, and the iconic Baltimore orioles, along with hummingbirds, ducks, cardinals, and bluejays, are fun to spot in the wild or in your backyard. However, some feathered friends can cause chaos for homeowners.
Although birds typically choose to nest in trees, the sprawling growth of Maryland’s urban environment leaves many tempting areas to build a home, such as roofs, signs and sheltered crevices. If left unattended, birds can cause damage to property along with health problems resulting from droppings or disease.
When you have a bird problem, you need an expert removal company to take care of the issue. Turn to Skedaddle Humane Wildlife Control, a leading provider of animal control services, for solutions for bird removal in Anne Arundel County that prioritize safety.
What Homeowners Should Know About Birds
Skedaddle’s professionals have extensive knowledge of the major bird species throughout the state, allowing us to make a detailed removal plan for your specific nuisance species in Maryland.
If you live in Anne Arundel County, you may have issues with birds trying to nest in your roof or other parts of your home. The western and eastern parts of the state have lower human population densities and more opportunities for birds to remain in their natural habitats. However, birds in these areas of the state are giving homeowners headaches due to more development in the forests and meadows.
For residents of the Eastern Shore, shorebirds may be causing issues. Our knowledge-based approach to bird removal considers the facts about the individual bird species. We also follow local and federal migratory bird regulations when removing shorebirds from your property.
Common Bird Issues
If you have pigeons invading your home or office, we can help. Pigeons are commonly seen in downtown locations like Annapolis. They are always on the hunt for food and often approach humans without fear, making them a nuisance. When a pigeon makes a nest in your home, you need our professionals to safely remove eggs and chicks and relocate the nest.
Seagulls have also become problematic across the state. They are frequently seen in shopping centers, parking lots, and anywhere there is trash or a potential food source. Let our team help you with gulls invading your property. These birds can be aggressive, so it’s best to leave them up to us.
Another problem bird is the house sparrow. House sparrows often make nests in urban and suburban areas, including in commercial places of business or residential homes. They make a huge mess after nesting and can be territorial. Our team is equipped to deal with this expected bird behavior and safely eliminate the mess.
How Skedaddle Wildlife Control Can Help With Bird Removal
Our team is well-equipped to handle a plethora of bird-related issues. Rapid development in Maryland has driven many bird species to seek shelter in residential and commercial spaces, including attics, roofs, basements, decks, and sheds.
If you have them in your home, you know why you need our help for bird removal in Anne Arundel County. When birds invade your home and take up residence, they bring lots of noise and chaos. You may have nesting birds if you hear constant chittering, squeaking, or scurrying in the walls or ceiling. Birds in your home are often noisiest at night.
Once these winged intruders settle in your home or business, they can cause costly damage. They might use insulation or wiring for their nests or peck holes into wooden structures such as windowsills or trim. If not addressed promptly, this could lead to significant structural damage and hefty repair costs.
Additionally, birds can carry parasites and diseases. Their droppings can pose a health risk if they contaminate your food supply. Birds may also harbor mites or other parasites, posing potential risks to you, your children, or your pets.
Safe Removal Steps
Effective bird removal is not as simple as catching and letting the bird go. Residents are generally unequipped to remove a bird safely, so it’s best to leave it to the professionals. At Skedaddle Humane Wildlife Control, we put to use facts about the individual species and our industry knowledge to develop a removal plan that also considers the needs of your home and your family.
We begin with a property inspection to determine the extent of the bird infestation before we attempt bird removal in Anne Arundel. Then, depending on the nest’s location or other factors, we use humane strategies to relocate the birds and any nests to a safer environment away from your property and other homes.
Ongoing Bird Control Services
Once the birds are gone, continuing wildlife control in Anne Arundel County takes preventive strategies to make your home or business less enticing for wildlife. We recommend building or homeowners regularly clear and clean their gutters so water doesn’t collect and attract thirsty birds. We’ll also attempt to remove roosting spots along the roof to discourage birds from using your home or building as a resting spot.
Our bird removal strategies further focus on completely sealing the home or business from the outside. Removing all potential entry points helps with unwanted guests trying to come inside.
