PARTNER
National farm and garden store chain
- The Front Royal, Virginia, location of this retail chain had dealt with birds in its 80,000 square-foot building for several years. They called Meridian Bird Removal for help.
OBJECTIVE
Capture and remove the large number of house sparrows inside the store.
- There were so many birds inside the store, the chirping sound proved to be deafening.
- The birds left droppings on merchandise such as clothes and garden machinery, forcing them to be cleaned or discarded.
- They also tore open bags of seed and dog food and compromised sensitive areas, such as popcorn machines and chicks for sale.
SOLUTION
Meridian deployed the patented Bird-N-Free system.
- Bird Removal Technician Jeremy set up four nets at the corners of the store.
- In four hours, he captured 67 house sparrows.
RESULTS
The store was now bird-free–and quiet!
- The large number of sparrows caused a surprisingly loud ambient racket of chirping.
- The damage to merchandise and goodwill over the years of bird occupation was estimated to far exceed Meridian’s service fee.
- A full inspection was made, with recommendations to the store manager, who directed his team to remove nests Meridian found.
- Meridian gained a new partner who understands the need to react to bird intrusions swiftly.

“We estimated the damage the birds did–between the ruined food and seed, the returned merchandise, and the customer concerns–far exceeded the cost of the service call. And it’s quiet in the store now! Amazing!”
