Birds are everywhere in the United States no matter what time of year it is or what region you live in. While some birds do migrate during the winter, others stick around all year round, including some of the biggest nuisance birds to commercial buildings and homes.

While most birds aren’t considered parasites, they can become quite a nuisance. Birds can be helpful in some ways: feeding on predator insects and eating the seeds of pesky weeds that can overtake your garden; but birds can also be pests by feeding on the fruits and veggies in your garden, causing damage to your home and other structures on your property, and leaving droppings that can lead to serious health risks to you and your family.
