IMPORTANT WEST NILE NOTE:
Some bird control companies promote the use of poison corn as a control method. Hawkeye has never endorsed this practice. This practice will encourage the spread of West Nile, as the poisoned birds will die in the community. Our practice of trapping and relocation, allows us to euthanize and dispose of diseased birds in a controlled environment. Please carefully consider your bird control options.
It is important to note that Gulls, Geese, Swallows and Ducks have special protection under Canadian Law.
