Birds and Reptiles
A Look at Our Uninvited Guests: Identifying Common Bird and Reptile Pests
New Jersey's diverse environment is home to various birds and reptiles, some of which can become pests in homes and businesses. Birds like Pigeons, Canadian Geese, and European Starlings are known for their potential to cause damage, spread disease, and create noise pollution. Among reptiles, Snakes are the most common culprits, especially in rural or suburban areas where their habitats are likely to overlap with human settlements. |
The Impact of These Intruders: How Bird and Reptile Pests Affect Homes and Businesses
Birds like Pigeons and European Starlings can cause damage with their droppings, which are acidic and can erode various materials, including metal and stonework. Moreover, their nesting habits can block ventilation systems and damage buildings.
Canadian Geese, apart from their droppings, can be quite aggressive during their nesting period, posing a threat to humans and pets alike.
When it comes to reptiles, Snakes are often feared more than they should be. While most species in New Jersey are non-venomous, they can still cause stress and unease. Moreover, certain venomous species like the Northern Copperhead and Timber Rattlesnake do exist and pose a significant threat.

Navigating the Challenges: DIY vs. Professional Pest Control
Addressing bird and reptile pests can be tricky and hazardous if not handled correctly.

Prevention Is the Best Cure: Strategies for Bird and Reptile Control
Effective prevention strategies are key in maintaining a pest-free environment. For birds, this can mean installing deterrents or making nesting sites inaccessible.
