Bird Removal & Control Services
Bird Removal & Control
What We Handle
Bird infestations create serious challenges for commercial, industrial, and municipal properties. Pigeons, starlings, gulls, geese, and other nuisance birds damage buildings, contaminate walkways, and drive up maintenance costs. Their droppings corrode surfaces and create slip hazards, while nests can block drains and mechanical systems.
Wild Goose Chase provides professional bird removal & control services to eliminate immediate problems and establish long-term solutions. Since 1998, we’ve partnered with property managers and facility owners to deliver humane, effective, and fully compliant programs across the country.
Take Control of the Problem
Why Professional Bird Removal & Control Matters
Bird problems don’t just go away on their own. In fact, they usually get worse. Once birds find a nesting site, they return season after season, bringing more with them. Without professional bird removal & control, you may face:
- Constant cleaning and repair costs
- Health and safety complaints from tenants or employees
- Property damage from droppings and nesting debris
- Liability risks from slippery walkways
- Disruption of equipment like HVAC units and rooftop systems
Our bird removal & control services address the issue directly, protecting your property while staying within state and federal regulations.
Our Bird Removal & Control Services
We combine science-backed techniques with hands-on field experience. Every property has different needs, so we create custom programs that balance removal, deterrence, and long-term prevention.
Dog Services
Trained border collies are one of the most effective and humane ways to manage geese and other nuisance birds. The dogs are taught to chase birds without harming them, which conditions flocks to see your property as unsafe. Over time, birds learn to relocate and avoid returning.
Goose Control
Geese create unique challenges for parks, campuses, and corporate properties. Their droppings damage turf and walkways, while their aggressive behavior during nesting season can create liability issues. Our goose patrol programs use bird lasers to move geese off-site without harming them. Over time, the geese learn that your property is not a safe or reliable place to gather, which greatly reduces repeat activity.
Pigeon Removal & Control
Pigeons are one of the most common nuisance birds in urban areas, known for roosting on signs, ledges, and rooftops. They also breed rapidly, which means small problems can become large infestations within a few months. We provide pigeon removal & control services that not only reduce existing flocks but also install deterrents and exclusion systems to stop them from returning to the same spots.
Gull Control
Gulls are aggressive around food sources, dumpsters, and waterfront areas. They create sanitation problems, noise issues, and potential safety hazards. Our gull control programs rely on proven methods such as egg depredation, dog services and laser deterrents to move gulls away and discourage nesting.

Client Testimonials
"The Migratory Bird Management team efforts have made our operations easier. By managing bird population and deterring birds from returning, we have reduced/eliminated the annoyances and dangers of birds affecting staff and vendors performing roof maintenance on our high rise, window cleaners propelling off the building and parkers at our open air six story parking structure. They usher you through the complexities of government requirements and do it with reasonable prices and great follow up. Any building that has birds posing obstacles should reach out to Mike and his team for assistance!"
General Manager, Colliers Sherry K."Migratory Bird Management offered a turnkey service, keeping us up to date with their progress throughout the process this Spring and Summer. The team provided pictures and status updates after each visit. Mike even reached out to the City to keep them in the loop on numerous occasions. In 2020 they were able to humanly remove over 2,400 nests and 13,000 eggs from the roof top of the building."
Property Manager, Kroger Real Estate Jennifer B."What unbelievable difference compared to the last few years!!! Three weeks into the ‘season’ we noticed a huge decline in the bird numbers. Four weeks after that the seagulls were almost non-existent. We were never ‘dive-bombed’ this year. We didn’t have one customer that complained to us about the birds. I didn’t hear one complaint from our employees about the droppings in our parking lot. Nor did they have to go home and wash their cars everyday like the last few years. We never thought seagulls could have such an impact on our business. Thank you again for solving this issue for us. Definitely money well spent !! Thank you again !!"
DWF Wholesale Florist Patrick G."I want to commend your entire team for the excellent work done on the installation of my new bird deterrent laser. Both Gordon and Carla were responsive and helpful in the installation process. They both are experts in what they do. Also, I must say that despite my initial skepticism about the ability of the laser to keep the geese flocks off my property, it has been 100% effective in keeping the geese away. The day before the installation of the laser, I had 27 geese on my 6-acre property. They were so bold I could not scare them away. The day after we turned on the laser, no geese. And we have not seen a single goose for weeks now. I am now free to enjoy our lake home and property without the mess and nuisance of flocks of migratory waterfowl. Life on the lake is good again. Thanks for your good work and your excellent team of Gordon and Carla. I am happy to provide a reference for potential customers of yours. I am sold on the laser."
Murphy Residential David M."We’ve proudly been using Wild Goose Chase at our airport since 1999! Sue and the team do an outstanding job with wildlife mitigation on our airport that has helped us in more ways than we can count. Innovation is another extremely favorable attribute that WGC has. We were the first Airport in the United States to use canines for geese control and now one of the first handful of airports to use laser technology as well. Very professional and compassionate staff that honestly cares about our clients. Their work, dedication, and passion for their mission is what make them an industry leader, nota follower."
Chicago Executive Airport, PWK"Thank you for doing such great work all of these years and being totally responsive to our needs. It has been an easy ride, and you’ve made it easy!"

President, Kujawa Enterprises Inc. Chris K."Migratory Bird Management was hired to assist with the goose population problem. Within a few short weeks, with the aid of the trained dogs and a remote control boat, the technicians were able to reduce the population to only a few mating pairs. Their repeated visits to the site, both day time and evenings eventually caused the geese to become annoyed and leave the site. Their methodology of irritating the birds with light, sound, and the dogs, without physically harming the geese allows for a solution that protects the wildlife, eliminated the nuisance situation in a manner that was acceptable to everyone."
