Photo Album: Defending the Exhaust Vents in Seaside Heights, NJ
Droppings
A thorough inspection of the exterior determined that the birds were using all 3 exhaust vents to infest the home. You can see that they were defecating all over the side of the home...
The Pavers Too
...and all over the pavers too! This not only creates a health hazard for the owner & his family, but a slip, trip, and fall hazard too!
Nesting Debris
First, we carefully removed all the nesting debris from all 3 of the exhaust vents.
Disinfected
Next, we disinfected each exhaust vent with a solution that targets bird mites. Bird mites are parasites that feed on the blood of birds. When birds leave their nests, the mites are left behind without a suitable host for their next blood meal. They will make their way into a home, and once inside they will take over, climbing all over your walls, ceilings, and beddings. To make matters worse, bird mites are tiny and semi-transparent, so they are extremely difficult to detect. Bird mites are the main reason why extreme care is needed when removing a nest.
The Defender
Lastly, we installed a Defender over each exhaust vent.
Excellent Choice
The Defender is the perfect choice to help keep out nuisance birds, and squirrels too. While allowing free-flowing air movement, its patented design effectively blocks intrusion by using a system of bars instead of a screen under the hood.
