Pigeons Control

ARE PIGEONS CAUSING PROBLEMS AROUND YOUR HOME?

From bird droppings covering your property to nesting materials blocking your drains, the presence of birds can be intrusive. If you allow birds to nest or roost, the problem will only get harder to eradicate as birds are very territorial, especially when they have inhabited an area. 

Therefore, it is important to tackle the problem immediately as it will save you both time and money in the long term. Allowing bird infestations to develop can cause the following problems:

1. Health risks: Did you know that birds, bird droppings, and nesting materials carry 60 different diseases and ectoparasites? Alarmingly, dried bird droppings found near ventilation systems can travel through buildings, which then leads to the spread of infection.
2. Property damage: The acid in bird droppings can cause significant damage to your property. If this happens, you will have to pay for the replacement or restoration of building materials which can be costly!
3. Continued risk: Removal of bird droppings or nesting materials from your home, backyard, boat, or other areas means that you are exposing yourself to hazardous materials. As well as potentially harming yourself, you also waste a lot of your time on regular clean-ups.
4. Devaluation of property: Bird nests and droppings spoil the visual appeal of your property. But more importantly, if you allow birds to nest at your property for a long time, you may face a dispute with your neighbours as the spread of disease and ectoparasites is likely. Birds’ nests and their droppings can also devalue your property.
5. Drainage issues: Your property’s drains may become blocked due to bird droppings and nesting materials. This can then lead to other more serious problems such as flooding. Bird nests can pose a fire risk near lighting or other features
6. Damage to garden & crops: If you are a gardener, you will most likely know that birds are a nuisance, especially when they destroy your crops. You may spend all season planting your garden, then birds parachute in and eat all your crops.
7. Bird droppings can contaminate standing bodies of water such as pools, spas, and lake shore areas.
8. Pest birds such as crows and pigeons may be driving away desirable songbirds from your property.
