American Crow

American crows are large, black birds with iridescent feathers and a distinctive 'caw' call. They measure about 17-21 inches in length with a wingspan of 33-39 inches. Their strong bills and legs are also black.

Crows may congregate in large numbers, creating noise disturbances. Look for scattered trash, especially in areas where crows forage for food. Droppings on cars, patios, and roofs are also common signs of crow activity.

MBPC offers humane bird control solutions in the Grand Strand area. Our SC-licensed technicians can assess crow roosting and nesting sites and recommend deterrents such as visual or auditory devices. We prioritize non-lethal methods in accordance with state regulations and ethical pest management practices.

Remove or secure potential food sources, such as open garbage cans and pet food. Trim trees to reduce roosting sites, especially those overhanging buildings. Use bird netting or other physical barriers to protect gardens and fruit trees on your Myrtle Beach property.

American crows are highly adaptable and thrive in various habitats across coastal South Carolina. They are commonly found in urban and suburban areas, agricultural fields, and near shorelines. They often roost in large flocks in trees and utility poles near residential areas of Myrtle Beach.
