7 ways that birds can destroy your building without our bird control services
There are many reasons why bird control services are essential for buildings. Birds may look harmless but when it comes to buildings, they can wreak havoc, exposing buildings to health and safety hazards and proving to be a cause for costly repairs. They can be as much nuisance as rodents, leaving droppings that cause damage or creating blockages through their nestage. Birds may also cause physical damage to properties, particularly larger birds and can even cause water damage through their nesting. If you own commercial property you may find that birds damage store products and cause health and safety issues by doing so. They pose various health risks as well as noise pollution and disturbance.
Here at Avisan, we offer bird control services in various forms to help prevent and deter birds from settling in your buildings or on your roofs. In this blog, we will explore the seven top ways that birds can destroy your building so you can know what to look out for and understand the risks and needs of our bird control services.
1. Damage from droppings
Not only are bird droppings (otherwise known as Guano) unsightly, but they can also be hazardous, increasing slip and fall risks. The acid in bird droppings can actually corrode various building materials, leading to structural damage.
2. Nestage and blockages
Birds often build nests in gutters, chimneys and ventilation systems, blocking water flow and airflow. This can become an issue when it creates blockages which can lead to everything from water pooling and leaks to fires due to flammable nesting materials.
3. Physical damage to buildings
By constantly pecking and through roosting behaviours, birds can cause physical damage to buildings which may lead to extensive repairs, especially around electrical signs and solar panels. Larger birds can also dislodge roof tiles and damage roofing materials.
4. Water damage to buildings
Bird nesting materials can cause serious damage to foundations and roofs, as water from clogged gutters and drainage systems can cause damage. This could lead to costly repairs and structural failure.
5. Product contamination in commercial settings
When it comes to commercial settings, birds can damage stored products by eating them or fouling them with droppings. They may even introduce pests like ticks and mites which can lead to significant damage and potential financial losses.
6. Health hazards from dried droppings
Dried droppings can also pose a risk to those who spend time in buildings. They can turn into dust, enter HVAC systems, and circulate contaminated air, increasing the likelihood of respiratory issues among those who often breathe in the air. Birds can also spread diseases like Salmonella and Histoplasmosis through their droppings.
7. Noise pollution and disturbance
Birds can become a significant source of noise pollution, especially during nesting seasons. This is not only a disturbance to your building but if you are in charge of a residential or commercial space you could risk complaints or lower satisfaction in general.
