Sparrows are frequently seen around yards, mostly because there common nesting places are in or on building structures. The most common areas to find sparrows nesting are vents around the home, inside roof returns, and even trim gap. Sparrow nests should be identified and removed since they are commonly home to various parasites, as well as bed bugs, lice, and ticks.
