Bird Control

Pigeons and other types of Bird pests like gulls can cause enormous problems both for Health and Safety reasons, which is why it is best to prevent these problems before they appear.

Ways of Prevention - Bird Netting Systems
Bird Netting will seal off all openings and other havens for pest birds such as pigeons, starlings, sparrows and black birds from roosting. It is easy to install and needs minimum effort to make to the bird netting. It is hassle and nearly maintenance free and an inexpensive sensible choice. Bird Netting is lightweight, pliable so it won't deteriorate with age or lose strength when exposed to the elements of weather.

Signs of Pigeon infestation

	Droppings
	Damaged Stock
	Live Birds and Bird Noises
	Nesting Materials

Damage caused by Pigeons

	Spread diseases like Ornithosis and Salmonella
	Damage vehicles with their acidic droppings
	Deface buildings with their droppings and foul entryways
	Encourage insect infestation with their nests

Safety Problems
Problems are also caused by the build up of faeces due to the slippery and unsafe footing it provides on walkways and ledges endearing proper maintenance. They are thus a special problem in the renovation of buildings where large accumulations have been allowed to build up. Dealing with such accumulations can be expensive and time consuming because of the protective equipment and procedures that may be required.

Health Problems
Pigeon and other bird excrement can attract other pest problems, especially insects and maggots. The manure needs to be cleared quickly and efficiently, before more pests become a problem. Birds alone can cause serious health issues as they carry diseases such as Ornithosis and Salmonella, and so if it has got to the stage where it is attracting insects it seriously needs to be dealt with as this adds to more health risks and may begin to cause problems.

Pollution
Pigeons and Birds not only cause pollution from their droppings but also can create a fair amount of noise. So if you do hear or suspect any birds in your building, they need to be caught before they cause any serious problems.
