Bird Proofing

We harmlessly rid your building of annoying birds and their droppings. We will sanitize infested areas and restore your building to the original luster.
Hesitating to control bird infestations can prove to be more expensive then treating the problem at hand and may lead to:

• Health risks and serious illness, Pigeons and Gulls are considered a common pest, with their droppings carrying diseases which can cause such as Ornithosis, Salmonella and E Coli.

• Ornithosis is a 'flu-like disease most commonly found in pigeon droppings. Fatalities are rare, but can occur as with any other influenza virus. However a more serious form, called psittacosis can also be present in their droppings - the symptoms of this are more like common pneumonia.
• Allergic Alveolitis or more commonly known as 'Pigeon Lung' this is a serious allergic reaction which can only be cured by the removal of the birds and their nests. Allergic Alveolitis can result in permanent lung damage.
• Histoplasmosis The spores of this fungus thrive in bird droppings and can affect humans who breathe them in. This particularly becomes an issue when birds are nesting on air intakes and spores can be spread throughout the building.
• Salmonella is present in most pest birds, but features in a high percentage of feral Pigeons and also Starlings. Birds have been known to contaminate water sources so should be considered a health risk at food premises.
• Escherichia Coli Gulls in particular have been linked with the spread of E Coli. Gulls scavenge for food in trash receptacles and sewerage treatment plants. The E Coli organisms are present in the gull’s droppings and can spread to water supplies and any food premises.
• Another considerable health risk associated with urban pest birds are the blood feeding insects and parasites that live in their nests and droppings.
• Bird nests can also contain other insect pests such as carpet beetles, clothes moths, spider beetles, dermestid beetles and booklice.
• Dead birds can also lead to infestations of house flies and blowflies.

 

• Fouling and contamination of water sources and air conditioning systems which may result in health risks.
• Infestation by bird associated insects including biting insects, mites, fleas, ticks and lice.
• Damage to your building and patrons vehicles, Pigeon and Gull droppings contain an acid content which can damage your buildings’ façade and paintwork on cars.
• Flooding problems, caused by droppings in rainwater gutters.
• Accidents, Pigeon droppings on pavements and fire escapes are dangerous in large accumulations or when wet causing them to become even more unsafe. The last thing you want in an emergency situation is to slow or stop the flow of traffic in an escape route due to poor maintenance.
• Noise and disturbance to your property, tenants and neighbors and from Gulls and Pigeons.

All of these hazards can harm your reputation within the local community and your customers, which you have worked so hard to attain.

 

Some of the products we offer for installation to keep your building sanitary are:

• Stainless steel spikes and near invisible tension wire which deter birds from landing and nesting on your buildings’ facade, window sills and ledges.
• Polly-Spikes are similar to stainless steel spikes; however they are gentle to the touch. This durable and reliable system is often used in public facilities such as schools and hospitals, where safety and liability are always a fore thought.
• Stainless steel netting can be suspended vertically, to keep birds and debris from entering hard to maintain spaces on your building. Most netting is scarcely visible when installed properly.
• Nets and spikes are UV stabilized and attached with stainless steel fittings.
• All of our installations are discreet and sensitive to the aesthetics of each building.
