The underneath area of suspended structures that have jutted out away from the primary structure of a building, is commonly knon as the soffit. It is not uncommon to find Buffalo birds nesting in a soffit. Infact, this is one of the most enticing places on a building. This is because it provides the perfect nesting spot where a bird could thrive with its family for a long time since its easily accessible in most cases, close to a food source (especially since humans are closeby), and also, the shade and protection from the structure is definitely a plus. This sounds nice on the bird's side but on the owner's side, nice is the last thing we could talk about. Firstly, these New York birds' droppings fall below the soffit and make a real mess there. With the mess comes a pungent unpleasant smell that nobody would like close to them at all. The worst thing about the droppings however, is neither them being a mess nor the odour they produce, but the diseases they could be carrying in them. Bird droppings are very unhealthy and are thus a real risk to humans that come into contact with them.



Another problem about the Buffalo birds in the soffit is also the fact that they come infested with other destructive pests like lice and termites which they don't take with them in case they even stop nesting there. These pests need hosts and could access you or your family through the cracks and vents in the house. For these few and many more unmentioned problems that these birds bring to your house, you will find that getting rid of them from your soffit is the best thing you can do. Here are some tips to help you achieve this. First, you should build a structure that can make it impossible for the bird to get back into its nest when you are away. The best method for this is the use of fogging to repel the bird by sense of smell. Its not harmful to the critter, but it does get the job done by displeasing them through their noses since it produces a stench that is very disorienting to the birds.

When they no longer come back there, then it is time to disinfect the place since the New York birds leave a health hazzard of a nest behind, infested with pests like lice, termites and other disease causing bacteria. Handling the nesting debris should be done cautiously and preferrably by a professional to avoid getting back to the same problem later and also, for efficiency and safety purposes. After all this is done precautiously, then other methods like use of a bird net and bird spikes to ensure no other bird gets back there.
