Birds - The Problems
The population of pest birds such as Pigeons is on the rise, affecting both residential and commercial premises such as airports, marinas and restaurants. Bird love to feed and nest in such areas, potentially causing structural damage, or defacing the buildings with corrosive mess.
Similarly, increasing numbers of property owners are installing solar panels in their premises as a fantastic, clean, cheap way of powering the home or business. This addition though can come at a further cost as it makes the property even more appealing to pest birds.
Birds are adept at finding ways into the premises through gaps in the roof, chimneys or ventilation. Once inside they can bring disease or additional pest issues such as lice or mites.
Bird droppings are acidic. As well as defacing buildings and their surrounds, they can cause serious corrosive damage. In addition birds carry a large number of diseases in their droppings, including salmonella and E.Coli.
Bird species such as starlings and pigeons choose to nest in guttering unknown to a homeowner. This can lead to water overflowing, as well as faeces running down through the drainage system causing acid corrosion in metal guttering.
Many birds also carry mites or lice. Mites can become a pest of humans when a bird chooses to setup a nest in and around your property. The bites of these mites can lead to annoying itching, rashes and secondary infections. This can present a particularly difficult problem as the young leave the nest and any parasites left in amongst nesting material attempt to discover a new host or meal inside the building.
Food warehouses and factories are especially attractive to pigeons if they store or manufacture grain products, contaminating products during their search for food - potentially spreading disease and costing the business owner a fortune.
As with most pest issues, prevention is the best cure. Contact Pestology and we'll be happy to discuss the options available to protect your home or business.

Birds & Your Solar Panels
Solar panels present the perfect nesting place to birds to roost as they shield the birds from the elements in a cooler environment from the sun, and are safe from predators.
As solar panels are installed tight to the rooftop, it can prove incredibly awkward and difficult to remove nests, droppings and potentially dead birds from underneath them once they are there.
Fortunately, there are a number of options available to deter birds from nesting in the first place. Installing a solar panel bird deterrent creates a physical barrier which prevents the birds from getting in underneath the panel, keeping the building and the panel free from mess and damage.
