Are Starlings protected?

No. European Starlings are an invasive species. We can legally remove the birds and their nests at any time.

Why do they like dryer vents?

Dryer vents provide warmth and shelter, mimicking the tree hollows they use in nature. The flappers on most vents are flimsy, and starlings easily pry them open.

Starling Removal & Vent Cleaning

We remove nesting birds from dryer and bathroom vents and install bird-proof guards.

Why Starlings Are Dangerous

Fire Hazard

Starlings pack vent pipes with dry grass, straw, and twigs. This blocks the airflow from your dryer, causing lint to overheat. Blocked dryer vents are a leading cause of house fires.

Disease & Odor

Nests often contain bird mites (which can migrate into your bathroom) and droppings that create awful odors when the dryer or fan is running.

Our Vent Protection Process

1. Remove Nest

We extract all nesting material and birds from the pipe.

2. Sanitize

We treat the vent to kill mites and bacteria.

3. Install Guard

We install a heavy-duty steel cage or hood that allows air out but keeps birds out.
