How To Prevent Bird Damage On My Home?

A flock of birds can become incredibly messy. If you have ever parked your car below a flock of birds or have had them around your property for a period of time, you’re aware of this. Even though birds are important for the ecosystem, that doesn’t stop them from causing problems for humans. If you are currently faced with a bird population that is wreaking havoc across your property or home, professional bird control might be your best option.

BIRD CONTROL CAUSES: WHY YOU NEED IT

Among the various species of pest birds that are troublesome, there are several that can be particularly damaging. These include:

• Sparrows
• Starlings
• Pigeons

Droppings from these species of birds contain high amounts of corrosive uric acid. This acid is a problem for humans because it can damage various building materials. It takes very little time for bird droppings to accumulate on stone, metal, brick, and siding of your home. If you don’t remove these deposits in a timely manner, you could be left with costly repairs and even irreversible damage. In order to prevent damage to your home, your best option is to deter, exclude and remove birds from your property as quickly as possible. When looking to accomplish this, calling the professionals to help you with controlling bird populations is the safest and most effective option.

WHY ARE BIRD DROPPINGS DANGEROUS?

If bird droppings are anywhere within your home, your family and your pet are at risk of becoming infected with psittacosis or histoplasmosis. These diseases are commonly carried by birds and transferred to humans when the bacteria in their feces are made airbource and then inhaled. With starlings often making their nests inside vents on a home, this creates a great risk of spreading the bacteria throughout the home. Birds that are nesting on a roof, also pose a threat to anyone walking below. The symptoms of these two diseases are similar with people often reporting; headache, chills, fever, muscle pain, cough, and sometimes difficulty breathing or pneumonia.
