While many people enjoy the birds that live around their home, they are not so pleasant once they make it inside of your attic. Birds in the attic can cause destruction to your home and even carry diseases, much like rodents and other animals that we would consider “pests”.
When a bird decides to use your home to make its nest and settles in your attic, they often drop behind feathers, nesting materials, and other objects containing fleas and mites, which can quickly spread throughout your home if your attic and ducting is not properly sealed. Additionally, the droppings that they leave behind can ruin insulation and even carry a fungus that can lead to lung disease.
In short, having birds in your attic is a nightmare, and these animals can have disastrous effects on your home and your family’s health. At Attic Projects, we have a wide range of expertise and experience in bird proofing your home. We have a team of knowledgeable, well-trained project managers that will customize the solution to fit your exact needs and get your home back to peak condition.
Attics are an ideal place for birds to nest due to the fact that they are quiet, sheltered from predators and the elements, and contain materials that can be used for building their nests. Birds will enter through holes, gaps, and windows that have not been properly shut.
The first signs that you may have birds in your attic include:
One of the biggest concerns of most homeowners, when they find out they have birds in the attic, is the damage that has been caused. When birds nest in your attic, they can cause quite a bit of harm in several different ways.
Birds use many materials to create their nests, including stuff they find in your attic, such as insulation and electrical wiring. If it is available and can be used for a nest, they will use it. These two acts can be expensive and dangerous to your home. The removal of insulation can cause your utility bills to go up as your home loses some of its energy efficiency. If the birds pull on the wrong electrical wire, it can start a fire that can destroy your property and put your family at risk.
Birds in the attic also leave behind droppings, which can cause damage and corrosion to your home if not removed due to its high levels of uric acid.
Birds are known to carry over 60 diseases, and the last thing you want is for them to make their home in your attic, exposing your family to serious health risks. They can spread disease through the droppings they leave behind and the parasites and insects they attract. If your attic and ducting is not properly sealed, these diseases can be quickly spread throughout your home.
Becoming sick from the birds in the attic is a significant health concern, as they commonly spread Histoplasmosis, a respiratory disease, and cryptococcosis, a condition that affects the central nervous system.

Once birds have infested your home, they will need to be removed, and your attic will need to be proofed. Just removing the birds will not be enough, as they will likely return and rebuild their nests. It also means that more birds may come into your attic to build their home. If this happens, they will continue to cause damage to your home and threaten the health and safety of your family.
