About bird control in Huntsville
Nuisance birds nest in vents, eaves, and signage, damaging structures and creating health-risk droppings. We deploy netting, spike systems, and vent guards to deter and exclude birds long-term without harming protected species.
What we see most in Huntsville
Calls we run most often in the city: raccoons in attics off Hampton Cove and Big Cove; squirrels in older Five Points and Blossomwood; bats in ridge vents across newer subdivisions; skunks under decks closer to Monte Sano; nuisance birds in commercial soffits downtown.

What you should know about bird control
Biology & Behavior
Starlings and sparrows nest in dryer vents, bathroom exhausts, and gable louvers. Pigeons roost on signage, ledges, and HVAC equipment. Woodpeckers drum on cedar and pine siding.
When this happens in Huntsville
Nesting Mar–Aug. Outside that window is the optimal exclusion period. Protected-species nests cannot be disturbed mid-season without permits.
Alabama & Federal Regulations
Most native birds (including chimney swifts and woodpeckers) are protected under the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act; non-natives like European starlings, English sparrows, and feral pigeons are not.
Disease & Safety Risks
Histoplasmosis, cryptococcosis, and salmonellosis from accumulated droppings. Commercial cleanup is PPE-mandatory.
Materials We Actually Use
Bird netting (3/4" mesh for sparrows, 1.5" for pigeons), stainless spike strips, vent guards, electric-track for high-density commercial sites.
