Bird Control and Prevention

Bird Issue Site Evaluation Services

Bird activity on commercial properties can lead to serious challenges if left unaddressed. Nesting, droppings, and constant roosting can damage structures, create safety hazards, and increase maintenance costs. To effectively solve these problems, it is critical to first understand the conditions that attract birds to a site. 

Wild Goose Chase offers professional site evaluation services to pinpoint the causes of bird activity and develop effective, long-term control strategies. Our evaluations provide the foundation for customized solutions that protect your property while complying with all wildlife regulations. 

Protect Your Property

Why a Site Evaluation Is Essential

Every property is unique, and so are the bird problems that occur there. A one-size-fits-all approach rarely works, especially for locations dealing with persistent or multi-species bird activity. A detailed site evaluation allows our experts to identify the specific factors contributing to the issue, such as access points, food and water sources, and structural features that encourage nesting or roosting. 

 Our inspections ensure that solutions are targeted, cost-effective, and built to last. 

What to Expect

What Our Site Evaluation Includes

Our site evaluation is a comprehensive process conducted by trained wildlife management professionals. We take the time to thoroughly inspect your property and collect the information needed to design an effective bird control plan. 

01

Property Assessment

We start by walking the property to locate areas where birds are roosting, nesting, or feeding. This includes inspecting rooftops, ledges, vents, courtyards, and other areas where activity is often overlooked. During the site evaluation, we look for openings, gaps, and architectural features that allow birds to access nesting areas. Addressing these vulnerabilities is key to long-term success.

02

Species Identification

Identifying the bird species involved is critical. Different birds behave differently and require different management strategies. We document species presence and activity patterns to guide the control plan.

03

Bird Presence Level Analysis

We determine whether your property has low, moderate, or high bird activity. This helps us select the most appropriate exclusion systems, deterrents, or population control methods.

04

Environmental Analysis

Nearby water sources, landscaping, and food availability can all attract birds. We evaluate these elements to recommend habitat modifications when needed. After the assessment, we provide a detailed report outlining our findings and recommendations.

Expert Recommendations

Customized Solutions Based on Your Evaluation

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."

"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."

"Since implementing the automated laser, we have seen an 80-90% reduction in the number of birds so far this year compared to this time last year. I’ve been impressed so far with the results.”

Fish Farm Manager

"Wild Goose Chase has been a great success with our geese control. Our garden has grown to a considerable height (with a lot of hand watering) and the geese don’t seem to give it a second look."

"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."
