The Major Four Ohio Gulls: Bonaparte’s Gull, Ring-Billed Gull, Herring Gull, and Great Black-Backed Gull

General Gull Problems In Ohio

Gull problems in Ohio tend to be centered around cities near Lake Erie. Only Niagra Falls tops the many species of gulls in this Ohio region. But just because the majority of gull problems exist in Northern Ohio, that does not mean nuisance gulls create issues inland. In Ohio, where there are open landfills, there will be gull problems, and if you live in those areas, you’ll see gulls more than likely.

It may be hard to believe, but from the 1850s to the 1920s the millinery trade killed so many ring billed gulls that they verged on extinction. Once the practice stopped, the ring-billed gulls’ numbers increased, becoming one of the most prominent Ohio gull problems.

Ohio gulls have become habituated to living, nesting, and breeding around humans, especially when fed. Mix that with the growing shortage of coastal food sources and ample supply of waste food inland, this creates significant pest gull problems in Ohio’s city areas.

Gulls can be loud, assertive, and erratic, particularly if they have young around. When around commercial businesses, gull problems arise from their feces that cause costly destruction to gutters, vents, pipes, roofs, and more.

Gulls are classified as migratory and are protected by federal law. Therefore they should be handled or removed by a licensed pest removal company like Ohio Bird Control. Our professionals can advise you on several preventative measures you can take at your property or business to deter gulls and minimize your gull problems.

Gull problems occur mostly in Ohio landfills or near Erie Lake.

There are a number of landfills throughout Ohio that attract large numbers of gulls. You are more likely to encounter gull problems if you live near a landfill or near Lake Erie.

Ohio Bird Control’s Solutions To Gull Problems

Below are a few ways that we might ease your nuisance gull problems. Decoys, bird spikes, hanging shiny objects, and electronic systems are a few trade tools that may help control your gull problems. But when your gull issues become serious it’s best to call Ohio Bird Control at one of our numbers and we’ll make sure that we’ll find a solution to those irritating gull problems affecting your home or business.

Decoys

Many visual deterrents are proven to be highly effective against the specific birds they target. Ohio Bird Control has access to the most effective visual decoys on the market including scarecrows, fake eggs, and much more.

Bird Spikes

Anti-roosting bird spikes are fantastic deterrents for keeping birds out of specific areas like rooftops, windowsills, chimneys, and more. They require no maintenance whatsoever and are considered to be permanent, 100% effective fixes.

Hanging Shiny Objects

Light-based repellents use highly-reflective materials which are often enhanced with patterns, colors, and designs which make for a more intense deterrent. Simply using the light from the Sun, these repellents can prove very useful.

Electronic Systems

Lasers, solar panels, and ultrasonic deterrents are among the most widely-used electronic bird deterrents on the market. Ohio Bird Control uses the most trusted, highest-quality products on the market for optimal results.

Remove Water And Food Sources

Often times, habitat modification is sufficient for deterring birds from gathering on your property. Removing water and food sources will eliminate two key criteria which make your property a target for birds in the first place.

Ohio Bid Control uses netting for nuisance bird deterrents

Bird Netting

Bird netting with heavy-duty materials like nylon helps create a physical barrier through which birds cannot pass. No matter the materials or mesh size, all of our netting’s effectiveness is guaranteed to be durable and effective.
