The Importance of Bird Nest Removal and Prevention
Birds nesting in vents can cause several problems, including:
- Blocked airflow affecting HVAC efficiency
- Fire hazards from flammable nesting materials in dryer vents
- Health risks from bacteria and parasites in droppings
- Property damage from corrosive droppings
- Odor issues from decomposing nests
- Pest infestations from fleas, ticks, and mites
- Noise disturbances during nesting season
Varment Guard technicians remove nests, disinfect the area, and install preventive measures to stop birds from returning.
Types of Bird-in-Vent and Nest Removal Services
Emergency Removal
For urgent situations, such as a bird flying inside your home, we offer same-day service if contacted by 4:30 pm local time. Calls after this time may be accommodated depending on technician availability.
Bird-in-Vent Removal
When birds are nesting in exhaust vents (bath, laundry, microwave), or nesting material is obstructing airflow and reducing efficiency, our service includes:
- Removal of accessible birds and nesting materials
- Disinfection and deodorizing of the affected vent
- Installation of protective materials (e.g., magnetic vent covers, dryer vent basket) to prevent future nesting
Nest Removal
For nests in areas like attics, roofs, soffits, gutters, porches, or chimneys, removal starts with a $149 inspection. These jobs are not quoted over the phone due to their unique nature, which varies by bird type, location, and season.
We can remove European Starling, House Sparrow, and Pigeon nests, eggs, and young year-round, as these species are invasive and not federally protected. Removal of other species (swallows, robins, doves) requires a permit from the state’s Department of Natural Resources.

- Single Vent (Birds or Nesting Material): $300 + tax. This covers common vents like dryer, bathroom, microwave, and stove exhaust vents. Additional vents will be quoted by the technician.
- Emergency Bird Removal: $375 for urgent removal of a trapped bird.
- Inspections: $149 for less common vents like gable, soffit, chimneys, or gas fireplaces, which require an on-site inspection. These cannot be quoted over the phone.
