Nuisance Birds and Bird Removal
Ohio is home to several species of birds that can be deemed nuisance wildlife. Sparrows, pigeons, woodpeckers, and even Canada geese are problematic for homeowners and businesses throughout Ohio. When it comes to birds, special care and an understanding of state regulations is required. Most species of Ohio birds are protected not only by the state but federally, as well.
Woodpecker damage, in addition to being problematic in itself, also encourages the infestation of insects and other wildlife by providing an entry point into the structure. These same avenues allow rainwater to invade the structure, which can lead to mold growth and other damaging and hazardous conditions. Woodpeckers are protected by federal and state laws. They may only be captured or killed with a special permit issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Canada geese will readily make a home of your property, leaving feces to foul the areas around ponds and surrounding yards and also damage the lawn, pond, and other vegetation. Geese that are fed will lose their fear and attack both humans and pets. Canada geese are protected under both the Federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act and Ohio state law. This protection extends to the geese, goslings, nests, and eggs.
