Starling Control

This is the beginning to my second season of controlling starlings in my yard.  I've put up woodpecker nest boxes for both flickers and red bellied woodpeckers.  Starlings are a real problem for our native woodpeckers.  The starlings often usurp the newly excavated homes of some of our native woodpeckers.  I'm using both nest box traps and a repeating sparrow trap to eliminate these invasive non-native birds from my yard. In the last 5 days I've caught 23 starlings in my yard.  There is no way our native birds can compete with so many of them.  Learn more about starlings and the control methods I am using at Starling Control
