Investigating Bird Infestation
It's important to know your enemy before you square off for battle. The bird is not a highyl evolved creature, but it will think of things you don't, because you don't have to. They worry about where they are going to get their next meal, finding a place to nest and reproduce away from predators, and how to weather the elements. When you think like a bird, you'll better understand its habits.
Checking for the Presence of Birds
Birds poop. A lot. Birds poop a lot everywhere too. If you are doing an inspection of your attic, look for feces. While they may not lead you to the birds immediately, it is important to know what you will need to clean up and sanitize in the near future once the exclusion is complete, or in some extreme cases, as you are doing the exclusion work.
Locate nests in the affected areas. For instance, an open screen porch may have beams that run crossways over its sides. You might find a nest hidden up in the corners, out of the elements and in semi-seclusion. Birds will often take to sheds with open windows or openings created from damage
