Description:
Male Barn Swallows have blue black upper parts with a reddish brown forehead and breast. Females are typically less vibrantly colored. Barn swallows are the only swallow species with white-spotted forked tails. These slender, sleek birds are well known for their long migration and nesting habits. They are very territorial and will always come back to the same nesting site. These swallows have made a very successful switch from cliffs and caves to man made structures for placement of their mud pellet nests. Increased insect populations from modern agriculture and shelter created by man made structures are two reasons given for this transition. Unfortunately, this success has often been at the expense of a frustrated homeowner.
Damage:
Swallows can be a nuisance in suburban areas due to their nesting habits. The mud nests damage and deface the outer walls and eaves of residences and office buildings. Building sides often end up smeared with feces from the bird colony along with collecting on the ground. Homeowners have also reported problems with parasites entering the house through building cracks next to the nests which poses a potential health risk to humans and animals.
How To Control Infestations:
Swallows are a protected species under the law. You cannot disturb them once they lay their eggs in the nest. The most effective way to eliminate barn swallow problems is to take down the nests in the winter after they are gone and exclude them from returning by using products like BirdNet or Bird Spikes which eliminates their roosting spots. Other possible means to repel away large flocks of swallows is with combinations of audio-visual scare devices such as the ultrasonic bird repellers, QuadBlaster 4 or Ultrason X unit combined with a visual scare device like Terror Eyes holographic balloon. See our complete list below of recommended audio and visual deterrent methods that may be effective against swallows.
