Nuisance birds can damage your house in addition to creating a big mess. In houses with stone exteriors and mounted shutters, it is not uncommon to witness birds building their nests behind the shutters. The nesting debris hangs around the windows surrounded by droppings. Droppings will corrode and damage your home’s exterior components if they are allowed to remain. Furthermore, the smells emanating from their nests are strong as the outside temperature rises.
Hearing birds in the morning can be soothing, but they can also be too close for comfort. Your sleep patterns may be disturbed by their persistent chirping if they are nested behind your shutters. Birds behind shutters can also harm your house and put you at risk for illness.
Certain popular exclusion techniques, like bird spikes, may not be aesthetically pleasing when employed by other wildlife technicians. We devised a workable solution that, when completed, has a seamless appearance. We create custom-bent, color-matched aluminum during the exclusion process to match the shape of the shutters that already exist. In the end, the aluminum sealing offers a durable fix while complementing the appearance of your house.
