Professional Crow Control and Removal
Do you have huge flocks of crows making a mess on your property? Has the constant cawing, and the destruction of your garden and yard drove you mad? You might think that you can find crow deterrents online, and there is plenty. However the issue is that crows are smart animals, their problem-solving skills make them one of the smartest animals in the world. Because of this, there is no single deterrent that can work on crows. Scarecrows have historically been one of the main methods of scaring them, but after a while, they will learn that what they are seeing is a bunch of straw, and will take over your property again. If you want those crows gone and stay gone, call us at Animal Control Solutions for expert crow removal and crow control. We have the knowledge and expertise to know how to keep them away, and to make sure that they never come back.
What Is the Harm in Crows?
A single crow can be loud, and peck at a few things, but on its own, it is rather harmless. There isn’t much need to worry about a single crow. However, crows are rarely alone. What might start as one or a couple, soon will turn into dozens as they learn that your yard is a safe place. Suddenly that single caw turns into dozens and becomes constant. Your yard will become damaged as they peck apart everything. Your garden will be in shreds, and your car is now dented and scratched due to them pecking at it and tearing the rubber insulation. If they get into your trash, garbage will be strewn everywhere. But this isn’t the worst part, these birds will poop on everything making a horrid mess that is not only unsightly but very unsanitary and potentially dangerous. We offer a bird feces removal program that not only cleans up the guano but also sanitizes the area so you will be safe to rest on your lawn again. Before your lawn gets destroyed you may want to look into crow control, we at Animal Control Solutions, offer a free inspection.
Another issue is that crows can get into your vents and your chimney. When a vent such as a bathroom vent, kitchen range, or attic vent is open that gives birds like crows a great opportunity to go in and build their nest. These nesting areas will accumulate a lot of feces, which will attract parasites and insects. Suddenly you will find bugs crawling down from your vent into your home! These nests can become fire hazards with them blocking the airflow.
What are the Health Hazards with Crows
Crow feces are also a major source of diseases such as histoplasmosis, a fungal lung infection that will give you flu-like symptoms and spots on your lungs that look like cancer, causing unneeded headaches, worry, and costs. There are also diseases such as Candidiasis, Cryptococcosis, and the Avian Flu.
Why Crow Control?
According to the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, it is unlawful to kill or physically remove crows without a permit. States such as Virginia, even have dates when you cannot kill crows as their hunting season is between August and March. Even then, you cannot hunt them on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. At Animal Control Solutions we strive to be as humane and as lawful as possible. That is why we found the best method is not Crow Removal, but Crow Control.

What Attracts Crows?
Food. If you have out such as dog food, cat food, compost, and other food for animals such as corn and seeds you will attract crows to your home. If they constantly find food, they will come as they find your yard to be a great place to feed. Soon one crow will attract another and then another as they are social animals.
