Signs of a Pigeon Control
The humble pigeon can become a pest when it congregates in large numbers and makes its home on rooftops of both residential and commercial properties. The accumulation of nesting materials and unhealthy droppings can cause significant damage to roofs, vehicles, machinery, ventilation systems and buildings along with posing a risk to our health. Birds, and particularly their droppings, provide the perfect mechanism for the spread of parasites and infectious diseases so it’s important to deal with an infestation quickly and efficiently.
Signs of Damage Caused by Pigeons
It is important to regulate or control pigeon populations due to the disease and damage pigeons can cause. Their faeces is highly acidic and corrosive which can cause damage to residential and commercial property. Debris from nesting pigeons can often cause blockages of gutters and drains which in turn can cause extensive damage to property.
The materials pigeons use for nesting can also cause machinery to fail particularly in air conditioning units, which tend to be one of the most common areas for pigeons to nest. Pigeon droppings can cause slip and trip liability issues on commercial and industrial premises.
Pigeons carry a number of bacteria both on their bodies and in their faeces that can cause a hazard to human health, these include encephalitis, salmonella, meningitis, histoplasmosis and many more.
