No obvious danger is posed by these exotic birds, but their droppings can facilitate Histoplasmosis. Symptoms of Histoplasmosis are fever, cough and general symptoms like a prolonged influenza. Highly sensitive lungs may result in a fatal acute allergic reaction. In a small percentage of Histoplasmosis cases, the fungus spreads to involve multiple organ systems and could be fatal, usually to young children and adults with compromised immune systems. Diseases House Sparrows carry are encephalitis, salmonellosis, psittacosis and various parasites. Starlings carry encephalitis and ornithosis. Pigeons may spread Newcastle disease and cryptococcosis.

​Bird droppings are easily noticeable by tell-tale signs of white stains. These droppings are acidic and accelerate deterioration of the outside of your home, garage, or buildings. Accumulated droppings can plug up roof gutters causing water damage and in ceiling can result in ceiling collapse. Nests obstruct exhaust vents creating a fire hazard. House Sparrows and Starlings compete with local birds for food and nesting areas. They consume livestock feed and contaminate it with feces facilitating disease and contamination. Starlings damage cultivated orchards seeking grapes, peaches, apples and bushes with berries etc.

If Starlings, House Sparrows and Pigeons have become a problem on your property or inside of your home, contact us. We can discourage them from taking over your property with several humane and chemical-free control methods. Preventative measures like removing food sources, cover containers, reduce available water by repairing leaking faucets and clearing gutters. Pruning of dense trees will discourage roosting sites.
