Clients will invariably ask you what they need to do to prevent future bird problems. Here are five tips you can pass along:

  • Never feed wild birds — and at commercial accounts, make sure their customers don’t, either.
  • Keep garbage cans clean, and remove any spillover or debris immediately.
  • Reduce the amount of standing water, including in gutters.
  • Do away with bird feeders, or at least try changing the type of feed being used.
  • Prune trees as much as possible.
