Birds are an important part of our natural environment. As predators, they feed on insects, rodents, worms, fish and countless other animals. Game birds, song birds, hawks and other bird species contribute to outdoor recreation and the overall enjoyment of nature. When they are found roosting near your home or business, they become an issue. Call Critter Control of Columbus to set up bird control services today.

- Public relations are an integral part of any bird management project and Critter Control of Columbus will educate our clients and the public why a particular bird control program or method is necessary.
Common Bird Problems
The three birds that most often become pests in the United States in urban areas are pigeons, starlings, and house sparrows.
- If you have ever tried to get rid of pigeons, you know just how difficult pigeon control can be.
- Other birds, from hawks to swallows, may occasionally cause unexpected and unusual pest problems.
- When blackbirds and crows roost in suburban areas they become pests.
- Woodpeckers may peck holes into house siding looking for insects and to make nest cavities.
