Starling Wooden Birdhouse Trap | Easy to Use & Set | Catch and Release Bird Trap | Trap Problem Starlings and Other Medium Sized Cavity Nesting Birds and Woodpeckers

Since 1987, Animal Control Products has been creating easy-to-use wildlife control products, allowing DIY animal control specialists to handle various pest issues. The company's baits, lures, and repellents were initially developed by pest control technicians for their own use in the field, and are now available to the general public.

The Starling Birdhouse Trap, one of the company's products, is a humane catch-and-release trap measuring 7"x11.75" and designed to target medium-size invasive bird species such as starlings, woodpeckers, and bluebirds. The 2-inch bird hole ensures only the intended species can enter, and the yellow indicator makes it easy to spot when a bird has been caught.

Starlings are considered pests due to the problems they cause, particularly at livestock facilities and in urban roosts. They eat high-protein supplements added to livestock rations and can transfer diseases from one facility to another. Starlings also consume cultivated fruits and damage crops like corn, as well as turf on golf courses. Additionally, their large roosting flocks in buildings, structures, and trees near homes can be a nuisance due to health concerns, filth, noise, and odor.

Woodpeckers, on the other hand, cause damage to trees and wood buildings in their search for insects to eat, and their drumming behavior to establish territories. While it is illegal to destroy these birds, the Starling Birdhouse Trap can be used as a Kestrel nesting box by removing the trap door, providing an alternative solution.

The Starling Birdhouse Trap is made of wood dipped in black walnut dye, and can be painted to blend in with the natural surroundings, which may attract more invasive bird species. The spring-loaded trap door allows the target birds to enter, and the bottom release door makes it easy to release them without harm.

Animal Control Products is located in Wisconsin, a region known for its diverse wildlife. Each of the company's products is handcrafted and developed by animal scientists, ensuring their effectiveness in addressing various pest control challenges.
