How do I stop birds from making a mess? How do I get them to leave? Although most birdwatching is a good experience, any bird can become a nuisance if they are unwanted, cause damage, or spread disease. Birdfeeders, spilled food, or uncovered trash cans are common attractants for unwanted birds. The Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in the Home Series is intended to provide answers to frequently asked questions, allay fears, and provide practical help to the public. This publication provides information to educate homeowners on appropriate and lawful ways to deal with birds who have become a nuisance.
