If you have <strong>a male or female European starling<\/strong>, or even <strong>a family of nuisance starlings<\/strong> on your property, you&#8217;ve probably noticed the damage.

The starling only needs a space as small as 2.5 cm to squeeze into residential or commercial roofs. Nests can also be in large trees.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Noise pollution<\/strong> from morning to night: the starling is a noisy bird with dozens of different songs and calls. Its aggressive song for the ears is far from the song of the jay or the goldfinch. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lives well in colonies<\/strong>: the starling adapts easily and is rarely isolated, it is a gregarious bird. A group of starling pests devour impressive quantities of grain that are used to feed livestock. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Risk of <strong>contamination<\/strong>: These pest birds defecate around where they reside. Their feces also contain bacteria, which increases the risk of contamination to humans and pets. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to end starling nests for good<\/h4>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Finding and Hunting<\/strong> Starling Pests from Their Nests<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Contact a professional exterminator <a href=\"https:\/\/www.novaextermination.com\/en\/animals\/capture-birds\/\">to organize the capture of birds<\/a>, then <a href=\"https:\/\/www.novaextermination.com\/en\/decontamination\/\">benefit from a decontamination<\/a> and cleaning service to avoid bad odors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Caulk<\/strong> all entry points such as soffits and the many elements of the roof.

In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.novaextermination.com\/en\/exterminator-brossard\/\">Brossard (sectors A to R),<\/a> the commercial buildings of Quartier DIX30 and illuminated signs are the areas treated.

These small, dark-plumaged songbirds live in both urban and forest areas in North America. They are migratory birds that like to <strong>stay in the openings of houses<\/strong>. Whether you like birds on your property or not, the European starling is considered <a href=\"https:\/\/www3.mffp.gouv.qc.ca\/faune\/importuns\/fiche.asp?fiche=noirs\">an unwelcome animal<\/a> in Quebec.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nova Extermination specializes <strong>in animal extermination and capture<\/strong>.

We use simple methods and are familiar with the reactions of these wild animals. We are therefore able <strong>to make a gentle capture and release them away from your home.<\/strong>  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When possible, we try to get the bird out by itself, in a natural way, through doors or windows. Otherwise, we use a net. This method is effective in capturing birds without the risk of harming them, even for young starlings.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The government is strict in this regard, <strong>the extermination of birds is prohibited.<\/strong> The European Starling should therefore be captured and released outside. Rest assured, there are many ways to prevent this invasive bird from returning to your property. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Preventing the return of birds<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are the interventions proposed to prevent the return of these harmful birds by our professional exterminators:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Block all entrances<\/strong> (wire mesh on chimneys, caulking holes and slots, etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Repairing soffits<\/strong> to prevent the European starling from sneaking into your attic<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Replacement of ventilation hatches<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our company has the appropriate CNESST and RBQ license (RBQ: 5734-75930-01) to undertake this work for you.

Its ability to adapt to urban and agricultural environments makes it a stubborn pest on buildings in the Mont\u00e9r\u00e9gie region. Its abundance explains the frequency of nesting problems in vents and roofs.  <\/p><\/div><\/details><details class=\"nova-faq__item\"><summary class=\"nova-faq__q\">What damage do starlings cause to buildings and health?<\/summary><div class=\"nova-faq__a\"><p>Their nests clog vents and ducts, which interferes with ventilation and increases the risk of fire from debris accumulation, while their acidic droppings corrode surfaces. The accumulation of droppings can harbour pathogens and make the premises unsanitary. Nests can also introduce dust mites and other pests into the building.  <\/p><\/div><\/details><details class=\"nova-faq__item\"><summary class=\"nova-faq__q\">How does an intervention against starlings work in Mont\u00e9r\u00e9gie?<\/summary><div class=\"nova-faq__a\"><p>We inspect vents, soffits and perches for nests and accesses, then remove nests and install appropriate grates, dampers and anti-perching devices. The exclusion is intended to permanently close the cavities and discourage perching on coveted surfaces. We plan the intervention taking into account the nesting season.  <\/p><\/div><\/details><details class=\"nova-faq__item\"><summary class=\"nova-faq__q\">Can we simply remove the nest without further measurement?<\/summary><div class=\"nova-faq__a\"><p>Removing a nest without sealing access does not solve anything, because the starling, faithful to its site, will quickly rebuild in the same place. An effective intervention combines nest removal, screen or cavity sealing and anti-perching devices. It is this comprehensive approach that is really preventing relocation to Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu or Saint-Hyacinthe.  <\/p><\/div><\/details><details class=\"nova-faq__item\"><summary class=\"nova-faq__q\">How much does it cost to control European starlings in Quebec?<\/summary><div class=\"nova-faq__a\"><p>The price is established on the basis of an evaluation, depending on the number of accesses and cavities to be secured, the height and access to the building, the removal of the nests and the devices chosen. A house with a few vents does not require the same work as an agricultural or commercial building. After seeing the premises, we will give you a suitable estimate.  <\/p><\/div><\/details><details class=\"nova-faq__item\"><summary class=\"nova-faq__q\">Do you offer a guarantee against the return of starlings?<\/summary><div class=\"nova-faq__a\"><p>We aim for a sustainable result on a case-by-case basis rather than an absolute guarantee, because the starling is very common in Quebec and is constantly looking for new openings. Once the cavities are closed and the vents are screened, these specific sites are no longer usable by the birds.
