General Starling Problems In Ohio

Starling problems come in the form of flocking in large numbers. The starling is one of the most disliked pest nuisance birds in the U.S. This non-native, invasive species has spread across rural and urban North America when they set loose in Central Park in New York City in the early 1890s. These starlings were deliberately released by a group that wanted the United States to have all the birds that Shakespeare used in his works.

Starlings ordinarily feed on the ground and eat worms, insects, small animals, seeds, fruit, dead animals, chicks from nests, and they love garbage left on your property.

Flocks of starlings can cause numerous problems when they overtake manufacturing facilities, airfields, fields, farms, parks, airports, golf courses, and suburban neighborhoods. These problems include:

Large amounts of starling feces cause damage due to the uric acid in the dropping.
Vents, gutters, and drainage pipes get clogged with starling nesting materials.
Starling feces contain bacteria, histoplasmosis fungus, and parasites which all can cause health problems.
Starlings are an agricultural pestilence that eat and damage crops.
Starlings are such a threat to airplanes that they are sometimes called “flying bullets.”
Starlings can cause costly problems for cattle and swine producers as flocks eat high-protein supplements that are added to livestock feed and spread viruses between livestock facilities.

Ohio Starling problems due to starling murmering

Watching starlings fly together in the thousands, all diving and turning rapidly and in unison, is absolutely wonderful to witness. Starlings can gather in numbers as large as 100,000. Thes amazing acrobatics is called “starling murmurations.”

starling problems begin with starling eggs on your property

If you allow starlings to nest around your home then expect your to have starling problems soon thereafter.

Even the Audobon Society has made it clear that you don’t have to love every bird species, especially starlings.

Starlings are by nature aggressive and especially so when looking for the best food sources and nesting sites. They will not hesitate to injure or kill other nonaggressive birds that we generally want in yards, especially bird-watching. Starling aggression has had drastic effects on populations of timid birds like the eastern bluebirds and purple martins.

Starlings are fecund, and a single mated pair will produce 2-3 families each year, with each brood producing five to eight baby birds. This rapid population increase can lead to starlings overtaking native bird species and causing intense competition for insufficient food and water.

Ohio Bird Control provides many effective starling control resolutions, including audiovisual deterrents, traps, and more. In addition, we can advise you on what method or combination of methods will solve your particular starling problem.

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.
