Bird Control Challenges Facing Illinois Facilities
Illinois is home to dense industrial corridors, major rail and highway systems, agricultural processing centers, and large metropolitan areas. These environments create ideal conditions for birds to roost, nest, and congregate on structures.
Common challenges include:
- Bird droppings creating slip hazards on walkways, docks, and parking areas
- Sanitation and compliance concerns in regulated environments
- Corrosion and surface damage caused by acidic droppings
- Nesting in rafters, beams, rooflines, and covered structures
- Increased cleanup, maintenance, and labor costs
Without proper control, bird activity often spreads from one structure to another within a facility.
Bird Species Commonly Impacting Illinois Facilities
Facilities across Illinois frequently deal with the following bird species:
Pigeon Control
Pigeons are the most persistent problem bird at Illinois facilities. They roost heavily on ledges, beams, parking garages, bridges, dock canopies, and rooftops.
Sparrow Control
House sparrows nest in tight gaps, soffits, signage, vents, and overhangs, making exclusion critical for long-term control.
Starling Control
European starlings form large flocks and often enter warehouses and industrial buildings through open or unprotected areas.
Seagull Control
Seagulls commonly impact facilities near waterways, landfills, transfer stations, ports, and open industrial sites, especially in northern Illinois and river-adjacent areas.
Facilities & Industries We Serve in Illinois
Midwest Bird Control works with small, medium, and large-scale facilities throughout Illinois, including:
Birds roost in rafters, dock doors, loading canopies, and overhead steel, creating sanitation and safety concerns.
Large rooflines, exposed beams, and equipment structures attract pigeons and starlings.
Bird pressure impacts grain handling areas, storage structures, processing buildings, and covered equipment zones.
Multi-level garages experience heavy pigeon roosting on beams, ledges, lighting, and drainage systems.
Smaller structures such as entry canopies, fuel canopies, pedestrian overhangs, and dock shelters are frequent bird problem areas.
Birds nest and roost along rail corridors, maintenance facilities, bridges, and underpasses.
Bird Control Solutions Designed for Illinois Facilities
Effective bird control requires exclusion-based solutions designed around structure layout and bird behavior. Midwest Bird Control provides professional, long-term systems that prevent birds from accessing problem areas.
Bird netting creates a physical barrier that blocks birds from rafters, beams, ceilings, bridges, canopies, and overhead structures.
Structural Exclusion Systems
Exclusion systems prevent birds from landing or nesting on ledges, signage, rooflines, dock edges, and architectural features.
Targeted & Facility-Wide Control Plans
From isolated bird pressure areas to complex multi-structure facilities, solutions are scaled to match the size and scope of the project.
Professional Installation
All systems are professionally installed to withstand Midwest weather conditions and the demands of commercial and industrial environments.
Illinois Areas We Serve
Midwest Bird Control provides bird control services throughout Illinois, including major commercial and industrial regions such as:
Chicago, Joliet, Naperville, Aurora, Elgin, Rockford, Peoria, Bloomington-Normal, Champaign-Urbana, Decatur, Springfield, Quincy, East St. Louis, and surrounding industrial corridors.
Facilities outside major metro areas are also serviced based on site needs.
