Bird Removal in Peachtree City, GA

Peachtree City's wooded environment supports diverse bird populations that nest in home vents and soffits. Cart path pavilions and community structures also see nesting issues.

Birds in your home might not sound as alarming as raccoons or rats, but the reality is that birds nesting in vents, soffits, and attics cause some of the most dangerous and overlooked problems we see. The #1 issue? Dryer vent nests. Birds — especially European starlings and house sparrows — love to build nests inside dryer exhaust vents. That nest blocks airflow, causes your dryer to overheat, and creates a genuine fire hazard. According to the U.S. Fire Administration, clogged dryer vents cause over 2,900 house fires per year. We've pulled nests out of dryer vents that were so packed with debris the homeowner's dryer had stopped working entirely.

We responded to a call from a homeowner in Alpharetta whose bathroom exhaust fan had stopped working. When we opened it up from the attic side, we found a starling nest with four eggs, surrounded by droppings that had accumulated over what looked like two or three nesting seasons. The vent duct was completely blocked, the moisture from the bathroom had nowhere to go, and there was visible mold on the surrounding drywall. That's a scenario we see regularly — birds find a small opening, build a nest, and the homeowner doesn't realize it until something stops working or starts smelling.

Bird droppings carry some serious pathogens — histoplasmosis, cryptococcosis, and psittacosis are all transmissible to humans. Dried droppings become powdery and airborne, especially when they accumulate in attic spaces near HVAC intakes. And here's the legal complexity: most bird species in Georgia are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. You can't just remove nests whenever you want — there are federal timing restrictions, and violations carry stiff penalties. That's why professional removal matters. We know the regulations, we follow them, and we get the birds out legally and humanely.
