Bird Control in Ann Arbor
Inspection-Led Bird Control for Homes & Businesses
Birds around a building often require more than a temporary response. Frame's Pest Control, Inc. provides bird control for Ann Arbor homes and businesses, with customized plans based on the species involved, the location, and the extent of the problem.
We’ve protected residential and commercial properties across Southeastern Michigan and Northern Ohio from unwanted pests since 1972. Our staff includes more than 35 licensed field technicians trained to assess pest activity and explain appropriate control options clearly.

Our Bird Inspection & Control Process
Effective bird control starts with identifying what’s happening at the property. We inspect the affected areas to determine the species, locate nesting or roosting sites, and understand the extent of the issue. These findings guide the plan rather than relying on a single method for every building.
We then develop a customized plan for the conditions we find. We use humane, environmentally safe methods and account for applicable wildlife regulations when selecting an approach. Depending on the property and inspection findings, the plan may involve deterrence, exclusion, or another suitable response.
Our service sequence includes:
- Assessment and inspection: We identify the bird species and evaluate the scope and location of the problem.
- Customized planning: We select methods suited to the inspection findings and affected structure.
- Humane measures: We carry out the plan using environmentally safe techniques.
- Follow-up inspection: We return to confirm that the birds are controlled.
Scheduling & Pricing for Bird Control in Ann Arbor
We offer same-day and next-day appointments for bird control requests, along with Saturday appointments when scheduling permits.
Before service begins, we explain the issue and recommended treatment options in straightforward terms. Our pricing is fair and transparent, and a free phone estimate gives you an opportunity to discuss your needs before arranging on-site service. Because each plan depends on the inspection findings, we don’t publish an unverified flat rate for every property.
If pests persist between scheduled visits, we provide follow-up re-service at no additional cost. This gives you a clear way to report continued activity and receive reliable follow-through.
Signs of a Recurring Bird Problem
A single sighting doesn’t necessarily indicate an established problem. Repeated visits, persistent noise, accumulating droppings, or nesting material around the same part of a structure may point to an ongoing roosting or nesting site. An inspection can distinguish a recurring problem from a bird passing through the property.
Protected building areas can give birds places to shelter. They may gather around vents, gutters, rooflines, attics, and similar openings or ledges. The exact location matters because access near a vent may require a different response than birds on an exposed exterior surface.
Commercial properties may experience problems around:
- Storefronts and customer entrances
- Loading and service areas
- Parking structures
- Building exteriors and rooflines
Droppings and nesting material can create recurring cleanup concerns in areas used by occupants, customers, or employees. During an inspection, we examine where birds are gathering and how they’re using the structure before recommending control measures.
Bird Deterrents & Exclusion Methods
Our plans may include ultrasonic devices, reflective deterrents, and physical barriers. Ultrasonic devices and reflective deterrents are intended to discourage birds, while physical barriers restrict access to a specific part of a structure. We select methods based on the species, location, and condition of the affected area.
Bird exclusion uses a barrier or structural measure to limit access to a nesting or roosting location. When appropriate for the species and property, exclusion addresses the access point rather than relying on removal alone. Physical deterrents may instead make a landing or gathering area less suitable for continued use.
No device or barrier is appropriate for every setting. Our inspection-led approach allows us to evaluate where a deterrent may be placed, whether access can be limited, and which humane techniques fit the conditions. We perform these services in compliance with applicable local and national wildlife regulations.
Protected Birds, Active Nests & Federal Rules
Wildlife protections can affect when and how a bird control project proceeds. As general information, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act is a federal law that prohibits pursuing, hunting, taking, capturing, killing, or possessing protected migratory birds, their parts, nests, or eggs without required federal authorization. Correct species identification and an assessment of the nest’s status are therefore important parts of planning.
Active nests of protected species can’t be removed or disturbed without the authorization required by law. An active nest contains eggs or young or is otherwise in current use. If an active protected nest presents a hazard and removal is proposed, a federal depredation permit is required.
Inactive nests can generally be removed after nesting season once no eggs or young remain, subject to the rules that apply to the species and location. European starlings, house sparrows, and rock pigeons are excluded from Migratory Bird Treaty Act protection, but state or local requirements may still govern measures involving these birds.
This information provides general context rather than legal advice. We account for applicable wildlife regulations when developing a humane bird control plan for the property.
