Bird Control Service

UNDERSTANDING THE BIRD PEST PROBLEM

Bird pests come in various forms, with pigeons, crows, sparrows, starlings, and mud swallows being among the most common culprits. Each bird species comes with its unique set of behaviors and problems, which can be a significant nuisance for property owners.

Birds can quickly transition from being creatures of beauty and grace to becoming troublesome pests due to their natural nesting, feeding, and living habits. These habits can result in various issues, from property damage to health risks.

• Property Damage: Bird pests are notorious for causing property damage by nesting and roosting in undesirable locations such as rooftops, vents, eaves, gutters, and even within the property itself. Their nests can clog gutters, inflict damage on roofing materials, and create safety hazards. Moreover, the highly acidic nature of their droppings can harm surfaces like paint, metal, and other materials, often leading to slippery surfaces and liability risks for property owners.

It’s important to note that if bird pest issues on rooftops are left unaddressed, many roofing companies will void their warranties. By seeking professional services to handle bird pests, property owners not only prevent potential damage and health risks but also ensure the validity of their roofing warranties. Ignoring bird infestations could result in unforeseen expenses if the warranty is voided due to negligence.

• Health Risks: Bird pests pose significant health risks due to the transmission of diseases. Their droppings serve as fertile grounds for harmful fungi, bacteria, and viruses. Common diseases associated with bird pests include histoplasmosis, cryptococcosis, psittacosis, and salmonella, which can infect humans, pets, and other wildlife.
• Noise and Nuisance: Large groups of birds, such as pigeons and crows, can generate a significant amount of noise, proving to be a considerable annoyance. Additionally, their messes are eyesores and necessitate frequent cleanup efforts.

THE IMPACT OF BIRD INFESTATIONS

Bird infestations can cause a wide range of problems, from health risks and property damage to noise pollution. While small numbers of birds may be harmless, large flocks can become a significant issue, affecting residents, businesses, and visitors alike.

Health-wise, bird infestations can pose considerable risks due to the spread of diseases. The presence of pathogenic fungi and bacteria in bird droppings can lead to severe illnesses when inhaled or through direct contact.

Property damage is another primary concern resulting from bird infestations. Their highly acidic droppings can corrode and degrade various construction materials, particularly metals, leading to substantial repair costs.
