Why Remove Bird Nests?

Bird nest problems are not uncommon; in fact, birds building nests in houses are a major issue for homeowners.  Nests are structures that can be a fire hazard and a source of birds mites and insect parasites that can affect people. While the direct transmission of disease from birds to humans is uncommon, life-threatening diseases can be contracted from their droppings.   Is this practice cruel or inhumane? No. Human encroachment on natural nesting grounds often confuses birds into thinking house vents are good places to nest.  Blocking birds from house vents prevents them from becoming a nuisance De Lint A Vent will never harm a bird if it is nesting in a house vent.  We only remove uninhabited nests. Should we find a nest with baby birds in it, we will contact animal control specialists.  >>Schedule a Bird Nest Removal
