Spring is a pivotal season for birds when it comes to nesting, mating, gathering food sources and laying eggs.
Although our feathered friends seem cute and harmless, when they start to damage your commercial or industrial property with their droppings and nests, they create an unsanitary mess in and around your building.
Nuisance birds like sparrows and pigeons can cause real problems.
The best way to eliminate unwanted birds annoying your customers, wrecking your building, and deter any diseases these birds carry is to use humane bird-proofing services!
Don’t ignore the risks birds will bring to your business
Many commercial and industrial buildings suffer from bird infestation problems. One of the reasons why birds congregate in these areas is because they can get shelter and a source of food.
By using bird-proofing services, your business will minimize pest birds and the following risks:
Clogged gutters and drains
If bird nests aren’t regularly checked and removed, it’s only a matter of time before these nests clog up your drainage systems and gutters. Nests can also be typically found on the rooftop corners. If undetected, this can cause potential flooding and roof damage.
Health risks
Bird droppings are a biological hazard, carrying up to 60 diseases transmittable to humans and animals, including histoplasmosis, cryptococcosis, and psittacosis. Some of these diseases are airborne and pose a severe risk to your workforce and customers.
Pest birds can also carry multiple parasites that bite humans and pass on diseases.
Bird dropping damage
Bird droppings contain a high level of acidity. When the droppings are not cleaned up promptly, they begin to eat away at building materials, causing corrosion and significant damage to your exterior.
Protect your business reputation
These pesky birds can cause unwanted attention with their squawking, screeching and food-grabbing ways. Along with their distasteful droppings, a congregation of birds around your business makes it an unpleasant experience for anyone who does business with you.
By using humane bird-proofing services, you’ll not only reduce the bird population, but you’ll be protecting your brand and reputation.
Increased fire risks
Bird nests are cleverly crafted with a mixture of materials such as twigs, leaves, and everything in between. However, these little homes are highly flammable which can ignite a fire
When birds become overpopulated, they can nest inside hazardous areas like your machinery and near electrical wires. Not only can this cause a fire but it also damages your equipment.
Wasting time and money
Why spend countless hours cleaning bird droppings or nesting materials from your property when you can be spending that time on your business?
Birds leave behind visually unappealing droppings and create unhealthy environments. If these materials and bird populations aren’t regularly monitored or have gone unnoticed, the amount of damage caused can literally cost you and your business thousands of dollars.
Without professional bird-proofing services, real damage can occur to building structures and any goods or stock that are stored in the area.
How to get rid of birds the safe way
While birds may be a nuisance to your business, we don’t want to get rid of them with toxic poisons, which can be deadly to the birds.
Our goal is to keep the birds away safely while discouraging them from making a home in any area of your building in the first place.
This is where our humane bird-proofing services will help you.
Bird netting
We use high-quality, heavy-duty polyethylene bird netting. The netting blocks birds from entering building canopy areas and access points humanely but effectively.
All netting fittings and fixtures are made with stainless steel for longevity purposes. The stainless steel will endure no rust or degradation.
Bird spikes
Bird spikes are ideal for the more challenging areas of a building. Areas that are particularly narrow or high can be fitted with stainless steel or plastic spikes that deter birds from landing on your building.
Hot foot gel
The hot foot gel method acts as a temporary deterrent for interior or enclosed areas that are not affected by the weather. The gel is not harmful to birds but prevents them from landing on your building.
