Why Are Birds a Problem?

Birds create several problems both on and near your property. Commercial properties also may have additional issues that are less common than residential properties. Some of the issues include:

• Feces and Disease - The feces from birds, especially pigeons, can carry a variety of bacteria and diseases that represent serious challenges to the health of residents or employees. They also make an unattractive mess, and are often left in group during invasions.
• Nests - Nests can be messy and bring similar health challenges. Not all nests are serious problems, but they can cause upsetting noises, bring pests, and possibly block pipes or cause property destruction.
• Mites and Bacteria - Many birds are at risk of carrying bird mites and bacteria, which can lead to diseases, bites, and allergies. Bird mite bites are also known to be very itchy, especially for those with sensitive skin.
• Noise - Some birds make loud noises that are disruptive to work, shopping, or sleep. Hotels with birds can often receive sound complaints, and homeowners with too many birds nesting near their property may hear them at most hours of the day.
• Aggression - Some birds are territorial and aggressive, especially if they have eggs in their nests. If these birds are near where people congregate, they can cause severe problems.
