Sparrow
Birds in the bathroom fan or kitchen vent? Sparrows making nests in your attic or garage? Those little weaver finches in the attic may well be sparrows. Sometimes sparrows cause damage by pecking at insulation inside attics. The nests of sparrows can also be dangerous, as they can be potential fire hazards. Call your local Critter Control office today at 800 CRITTER for effective sparrow removal, control and exclusion services.
Sparrow Damage & Sparrow Problems
Most sparrow damage is usually done to farmlands and crops. Sparrow problems occur because sparrows peck at seeds, flowers, buds, fruits and vegetables. Sparrows also tend to steal the food of livestock, or in some cases, contaminate the food. As sparrows feed in large groups, sparrow damage usually occurs in a large area. The most common complaints associated with house sparrows are their droppings and feathers. These birds are known to cause hazardous, unsanitary and smelly situations within and outside of buildings, particularly under roosting areas.
