How Can National Bird Control Help?

Why Cleaning Up Bird Droppings is Vitally Important

We all know the feeling of encountering bird droppings. You walk outside to find your sidewalk covered in them. You head to your car to find it’s been hit, too. You turn around and realise the roof of your home or business has also been doused in pigeon fouling – it’s enough to make you shout!

While no one likes the look of pigeon droppings, there are far more reasons than just looks to clean up bird droppings. Here, we examine some of the most critical – and how National Bird Control can assist with them.

Damaging Your Roof

Pigeons on your rooftop can be noisy and pestering, but did you know they can also cause damage? Bird droppings are acidic; their acid content can eat away the structure of your roof, regardless of its composition. A heavy build-up of bird droppings can seriously damage your roofing and lead to expensive repairs or replacements in no time at all.

Fouling Up Your Energy Supply

Making the transition to solar power is a great step for your home or business. It can mean lower energy bills and being a better steward of the planet’s resources. However, nuisance birds like pigeons, starlings, and sparrows can make it difficult to be energy-efficient. Their presence can dislocate or damage solar panels. In large numbers, they can block the sun’s access to your panels. Their droppings can also damage the surface of solar panels, making it harder for them to do their job. Birds and urban solar energy just don’t mix.

Causing Illness and Injury

It may seem strange to think of bird droppings as dangerous, but in many cases, they are an unexpected and serious hazard. How? Pigeons and their droppings are known to carry up to sixty diseases and harmful bacteria. Their fouling can also create an environment where mould, fungus, and other harmful organisms can breed and proliferate. Exposure to these droppings can be harmful to humans, animals, and plant life.

What’s more, bird droppings can be slick. When exposed to water or a damp environment, they become especially hazardous. Slip and fall accidents are common in areas with heavy soiling of bird droppings. Removing them from walkways is important in keeping people and pets safe.

Common Bird Control Methods

Since cleaning huge quantities of bird droppings is not a simple job, therefore people prefer adopting various bird control methods to prevent such bird droppings. These droppings are harmful and can cause various sickness in humans. Some of the most common and effective methods of bird control and deterrence adopted by National Bird Control include:

• Bird spikes for pigeons and other nuisance birds: These spikes are installed directly onto the required surfaces to prevent birds from landing and roosting there – all without causing harm to the birds.
• Bird control posts and wires: These are also installed directly on areas where birds are discouraged to enter. The wires are suspended between the posts, making it difficult or impossible for birds to comfortably land. Again, the birds are not harmed, but the method is extremely effective.
• Bird control netting: This is a popular choice because it can cover large, open spaces when properly installed. It is a great method for controlling the presence of birds in farmland or in gardens.

Ultimately, choosing the right bird control method is up to the consumer. All the above options are great choices for various reasons; one should weigh the pros and cons before selecting the right service in Preston. We even provide free survey/quotation visit to determine the suitable method and cost.
