Key Responsibilities Skills, Knowledge and Expertise Benefits About Meridian Bird Removal Guaranteed Bird Removal service is not a new segment of the pest control and wildlife industry, but it's now easier than ever. We offer four specialized services that remove interior bird issues, help control exterior bird populations, remove nests, and prevent future bird issues. All our services are fast, effective, require no shutdown, and are public relations friendly.
Our Services:
Interior Bird Removal
Interior birds have traditionally been a challenge, and many companies use outdated methods to remove the invaders. Our patented “Bird-N-Free” capture system and process allows us to predictably remove birds from inside any facility.
Exterior Population Reduction
When nuisance bird populations grow out of control, reducing their numbers can save damage to the exterior of a facility, as well as prevent birds from entering the facility.
Nest Removal
Nest Removal is a critical component of our bird removal services. To safely perform nest removal, our technicians wear appropriate personal protective equipment and follow a careful set of guidelines to contain all of the nesting materials.
Full Facility Inspection
Our Full Facility Inspection involves a deep dive into operational practices, facility maintenance, and sanitation issues. By evaluating these three key areas, we are able to give an accurate assessment of your current situation and provide a post-service recommendation to help prevent future bird issues. Meridian Bird Removal is an Equal Opportunity Employer committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace. We welcome and consider all qualified applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other protected status as defined by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) guidelines.
