Owners and managers of grocery stores, food processing facilities, warehouses, hotels and apartment buildings, and even car owners who are enduring the wrath of nuisance birds too with their bird droppings all over their cars!
What’s the problem with nuisance birds hanging out in and around your home or business? Plenty. According to the PCT Bird Management Field Guide, an industry training and reference guide, bird droppings from pigeons and starlings are not only aesthetically unpleasing (is there no respect for park statues?) but are transmitters of disease-causing bacteria.
Over 50 diseases are attributed to bird droppings ranging from allergies to E. coli to salmonella. The bacteria can contaminate unprocessed grain and processed food, and pigeon droppings also carry several viral encephalitic diseases.
If that doesn’t gross you out, consider that many of the parasitic mites associated with pigeons also bite humans. A bird’s nest is not a clean environment. In addition to the blood-feeding insects mentioned earlier, house flies and blow flies like to call them home. Do you still want to feed the pigeons at the park?
In addition to the serious health issues nuisance birds cause, their presence can deal a blow to the structural integrity of a building. Consider the following:
- Bird droppings can be extremely slippery, leading to problems in areas where the public has access. They also have an acidic content, which is corrosive to paintwork and masonry.
- Droppings and nest materials can block gutters and downpipes, which can damage the pipes themselves, as well as cause water damage to buildings.
- Bird nests can block chimneys and flues, which can lead to serious buildup of poisonous gases.
