Is Sparrow dangerous, or just a nuisance?

Can I treat Sparrow myself, or do I need a professional?

Basic prevention — sanitation, moisture control and sealing likely entry points — is something anyone can do. For an established Sparrow infestation, a licensed pest control operator (PCO) can carry out a proper inspection and a targeted treatment programme, which is usually far more reliable than an over-the-counter product used alone.
