Bird Control Services Photo Album: Birds Reside in the Dryer Vent in Watchung, NJ
Wide Open
The dryer vent was broken and exposed, so the birds moved right in!
Eliminate Possible Bird Mites
The first thing we did was carefully remove all the nesting debris. Once that was completed, we disinfected the dryer vent with a solution that targets bird mites. Bird mites are parasites that feed on the blood of birds. When birds leave their nests, the mites are left behind without a suitable host for their next blood meal and make their way into a home. Once inside, they take over and start feeding on the family! To make matters worse, bird mites are tiny and semi-transparent, so they are extremely difficult to detect!
Replacing It
Next, we installed a DryerWallVent® over the dryer vent. The DryerWallVent® is made out of heavy-duty galvanized steel and its large opening and angled damper provide maximum airflow efficiency for safe venting. Integrated magnets keep the damper closed when not in use, preventing birds, pests, bats, and all nuisance wildlife from infesting the home.
Now Comes the Defender
Lastly, we installed a Defender over the dryer vent. The Defender is the perfect choice to help keep out nuisance birds (and squirrels too)! While allowing free-flowing air movement, its patented design effectively blocks intrusion by using a system of bars instead of a screen under the hood.
