Bird Removal in Gwinnett County, Georgia

Bird removal in Gwinnett County is dominated by three non-native species not protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act: rock pigeons, house sparrows, and European starlings. All three concentrate on the Buford Highway commercial corridor through Norcross and Duluth, the pre-1900 Lawrenceville historic-square commercial blocks, and the Norcross historic-downtown buildings. Native species — chimney swifts in pre-1900 historic chimneys, woodpeckers, hawks, owls, swallows, Canada geese on Lake Lanier — are federally protected.

Buford Highway Commercial Pigeon Concentrations

Buford Highway's commercial buildings through Norcross and Duluth have decorative cornices, parapets, and unfinished roof spaces that provide ideal pigeon-roost cavities. Combined with the corridor's restaurant-dumpster food subsidy, the conditions sustain multi-decade pigeon populations on the same building runs. Pigeon spike installation on the Italianate cornices and parapet detail of pre-1980 Buford Highway commercial properties is the highest-volume Gwinnett commercial bird-control scope.

Federally Protected Native Species in Gwinnett

All native bird species in Gwinnett are federally protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918. Chimney swifts (Chaetura pelagica) form colonies in pre-1900 Lawrenceville historic-square and Norcross historic-downtown chimneys and require permit clearance for any management action during the May-August nesting season. Woodpeckers (red-bellied, downy, pileated) drill cedar siding throughout older Lilburn, Snellville, and Duluth housing. Canada geese are abundant on Lake Lanier, Stone Mountain Lake, and the many residential ponds throughout Sugar Hill, Suwanee, and Peachtree Corners — recurring residential calls when flocks establish on adjacent ponds.

Routine Gwinnett Bird-Control Scopes

Pigeon spike on Buford Highway and Lawrenceville historic-square commercial cornices, sparrow-and-starling attic-vent re-screening on older Lilburn and Snellville residential housing, dryer-vent cap installation across the residential range, woodpecker-deterrent installation on cedar-sided properties, and chimney-swift-aware exclusion timing on pre-1900 Lawrenceville and Norcross chimneys round out the Gwinnett bird-control workload.

Frequently Asked Questions — Bird Removal in Gwinnett County

What birds are protected in Gwinnett County? +

All native bird species are federally protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 — chimney swifts in pre-1900 Lawrenceville and Norcross historic chimneys, woodpeckers, barn owls, great horned owls, hawks, swallows, Canada geese on Lake Lanier, and all songbirds. Removal requires a USDA depredation permit. Non-protected species are limited to rock pigeons, house sparrows, and European starlings — all three non-native, free to remove year-round under Georgia DNR regulations.

Why are pigeons concentrated along Buford Highway in Gwinnett? +

Buford Highway's commercial buildings through Norcross and Duluth have decorative cornices, parapets, and unfinished roof spaces that provide ideal pigeon-roost cavities. Combined with the restaurant-dumpster food subsidy along the corridor, the conditions sustain multi-decade pigeon populations on the same building runs. Pigeon spike installation on the affected cornices is the highest-volume Gwinnett commercial bird-control scope.

Can I remove a chimney swift nest from my Lawrenceville pre-1900 chimney? +

Active-nest removal during nesting season requires a federal USDA depredation permit because chimney swifts are federally protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Gwinnett nesting runs roughly May through August. Nests with eggs or chicks can't be disturbed without permit clearance. Outside that window the swifts disperse south and chimney exclusion can proceed normally — September through April is the legal Gwinnett work window for pre-1900 chimney work.

How much does bird removal cost in Gwinnett County? +

Pigeon spike work on Buford Highway and Lawrenceville historic-square commercial properties runs $1,500-$4,500+ depending on roof-line length and cornice complexity. Sparrow-and-starling attic-vent re-screening on Gwinnett residential properties runs $400-$900+ per home. Woodpecker deterrent packages run $300-$1,200+. Pre-1900 chimney swift-aware exclusion runs $1,000-$2,500+ and has to be scheduled within the September-through-April legal window.

Will woodpeckers damage cedar siding in my Gwinnett home? +

Frequently. Pileated and red-bellied woodpeckers in particular target cedar siding on Gwinnett's older Lilburn, Snellville, and Duluth housing stock looking for carpenter-bee tunnels and other wood-boring insect prey. A single resident woodpecker in a Gwinnett yard can produce dozens of one-inch holes across a property in a single season. Resolution combines suppression of the underlying insect prey (carpenter-bee management is the dominant driver in Gwinnett), visual deterrents, and polypropylene netting where damage is severe. Lethal control is off the table under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
