A bird nest in your dryer vent is not charming. It is a problem that gets worse every season.
Lint builds up behind the nest. Airflow drops to zero. The heat from your dryer has nowhere to go. If you have a gas dryer, a blocked vent can also push carbon monoxide back into your home.
Meanwhile, starlings in your soffit are spreading mites into your living space, and their droppings are corrosive enough to eat through roofing and siding. Most pest companies will not touch birds. We built a whole process for them.
Nest removal, vent screening, soffit sealing. One crew walks in. When they walk out, every opening is sealed with bird-proof materials and the job is done.
Every vent inspected. Every gap sealed.
Where birds get in
Starlings, sparrows, and pigeons squeeze through gaps as small as one inch. They come back to the same spot year after year. Here are the five places we find them most.
Dryer vent
The #1 bird entry point. Warm, sheltered, perfect nesting spot. Also a fire hazard when blocked with nest debris and lint.
Bathroom exhaust vent
Small opening, big problem. Birds pack it with nesting material and block your ventilation.
Soffit gaps
Starlings love soffits. One-inch gaps are all they need to set up shop in your attic.
Ridge vent
Designed for attic airflow, exploited by birds looking for shelter. Easy to miss without a full inspection.
Gable vent
Open mesh is an open invitation. Birds walk right through damaged or aging vent covers.
We inspect all five. We seal all five.
The damage goes beyond the nest.
Bird droppings are corrosive enough to damage roofing and siding. And the mites they carry do not stay in the nest. They migrate into your living space through ceiling gaps and ductwork. Removal alone does not work. Exclusion is the only permanent fix.
Before
AfterBrick, NJ. Bird nest removal, vent screening, and soffit sealing. One visit.
Vent/soffit job
Bird removal starts with the opening they picked.
A bird page has to feel like vents, soffits, airflow, nesting material, and mites. The point is not just "animal removal." It is getting the duct or roofline working again and closing the return path.
Dryer vent
Bath fan
Soffit gap
Airflow blocked
Bathroom fans, kitchen exhaust, and attic vents stop doing their job when birds fill the duct or screen with nesting material.
Bird mites
When the nest is abandoned or disturbed, mites can migrate through ducts, ceiling gaps, and light fixtures into the living space.
How bird removal works
One call, one crew, one visit. Here is the process from start to finish.
1
You call. We figure out what you are dealing with.
Chirping in the dryer vent? Scratching in the soffit? Birds going in and out of your roofline? We know the signs. We ask a few questions and get you on the schedule.
2
We inspect and show you everything.
Free inspection with photos. We check every vent, every soffit gap, every opening. We identify the species, locate every entry point, and give you the full cost before any work starts.
3
We remove the nests and seal every opening.
Nests come out. Every vent gets screened with bird-proof materials. Every soffit gap gets sealed. One crew handles the whole job, start to finish.
Entry point sealing guaranteed.
If birds get back into a sealed area, we come back and fix it. Free.
Some birds have better timing than others.
Starlings, sparrows, and pigeons can be handled anytime. For protected species, the timing and approach matter. We inspect, identify exactly what you are dealing with, and tell you the best path forward.
Ready to seal them out for good?
Free inspection. Full cost up front. No obligation.
How much does bird removal cost?
It depends on how many entry points need sealing and what species you are dealing with. We inspect first, for free, and give you the full cost before any work starts. No surprises.
Will the birds come back?
Not through our work. We screen every vent and seal every gap with bird-proof materials. If birds get back into a sealed area, we come back. Free.
Can you remove any type of bird?
Starlings, house sparrows, and pigeons can be handled anytime. For other species, the timing and approach matter. We inspect first, identify exactly what is in there, and recommend the right path. If the timing is not ideal, we will tell you straight up.
How is bird removal different from calling an exterminator?
Exterminators set traps and spray. That does not work with birds. We do structural exclusion: nest removal, vent screening, soffit sealing. One crew, one job, done.
