Birds are serviceable and hardworking creatures that eat mosquitoes and insects that are harmful to plants and other bothersome pests such as slugs and snails. They are also fun to watch and can add some delightful cheer in an outdoor setting. However, as much gratitude is due them, it can be difficult to feel as generous towards these feathered friends if they design to build a home on the rafters of your timber outdoor living shelter.
Spring is the beginning of breeding season for most birds in the United States. A ShadeScape™ cabana, carport, gazebo, pavilion, or porte-cochère are tempting to these unauthorized tenants, offering them high life protection with extra large rafters to roost. Before a nest can be constructed is when the problem needs to be remedied. Birds nesting in barns or attics have been known to split the wind and dive towards an unsuspecting head claiming their stolen territory.
If they are social birds that invite their feathered friends and relatives to stay, it can become even more problematic. To add insult to injury, if a structure is erected on a lifeless surface such as concrete; there is not enough microorganisms to break down the aerial bombings of birds. One of these simple preventative measures can help you to avoid having to clean up a “natural disaster”.
