Inland Seagull Damage...

Why are we talking about seagull damage in a city that’s about as far from a sea as you can get? The term seagull is actually a misnomer, biologically speaking they should simply be referred to as gulls, and they are an incredibly successful inland species. In fact, the great lakes ring-billed gull population increased from 3000 nesting pairs in 1930, to over 300,000 pairs in 1967 and has continued to grow at a rate of over 10% per year! This huge population explosion has resulted in an increase of conflicts between gulls and humans. Excessive gull populations can cause numerous problems at various types of properties including severe damage and reduced lifespan of roofing materials due to nesting colonies, water quality degradation and swim bans due to e. coli loading from gull droppings, unsightly build-up of droppings on vehicles, buildings and light fixtures from loafing gulls in parking lots, and potential liability risks from people being attacked by aggressive nesting gulls or gulls looking for food. Wild Goose Chase and Migratory Bird Management can help prevent or minimize all of the risks associated with an overabundant gull population on your property.
