Birds do sometimes live in attics. People and animals share the same land all over the world but occasionally birds take that space sharing to mean that the feathered fiends can shelter inside your attic. For example salmonellosis is a common disease that many pigeons sparrows and starlings carry. Clean the area in your attic where the bird was roosting or nesting with a disinfectant cleaner.

Birds should be removed. If there are still birds presently in your attic you will need to safely trap them and then remove them. In order to prevent them from coming back homeowners must find and close up the point of entry. Birds typically find their way into an attic by a small hole or opening on the exterior of the home.

Check your attic for any signs of a nest and move it outdoors to remove an incentive for the bird to return. Once airborne the spores infiltrate ceilings and ducts increasing the chances of infection for residents. Histoplasmosis is an illness caused by a fungus that develops in bird droppings. Birds in the attic also bring mites into homes.

Pigeons barn swallows starlings house finches house sparrows are all candidates for birds in a house or attic. Birds in attics can spread many diseases.
