Bird Control Vancouver

Birds are beautiful, but potentially hazardous

As a society, we are so enamored with birds that most people don’t consider them a nuisance or a health risk. In fact, birds are just as deleterious to our health and property as rats.

Property damage caused by birds

Bird Control Vancouver The sooner you consider bird pest control, the more money you can save in the long run. The damage birds cause to property is a result of either their highly acidic droppings or their nesting habits. Excessive amounts of droppings for an extended amount of time can cause significant structural and financial damage to your building and equipment.

Automobile paint finishes and protective coatings can be compromised and fade prematurely
Leaky roofs may result when bird droppings eat away at tar-based roofing materials
Exposed machinery and building structures are susceptible to corrosion
Factory products and foods may become ruined or contaminated

Bird nests are usually constructed from straw, grass, leaves, and other organic materials. A poorly located nest can inadvertently cause significant damage to property and human welfare.

Nests blocking rain gutters and drainage may result in rooftop flooding and collapse
Blocked airflow may occur from nesting birds in ventilation systems such as chimneys and air ducts

Successful bird control in your Vancouver - area home or business is essential to reducing the damage to your building, equipment, and property.

Physical damage caused by birds

Pigeon Control Vancouver Our physical health is also at risk from pest birds, but can be improved greatly with bird control services. They are carriers of a multitude of parasites and diseases, spreading them all over because of the distances they can travel. The offending parasite lives inside the host bird and is passed on through the bird’s droppings. Humans may become ill from contact with birds in the following ways:

A food or water source is contaminated by bird droppings
Dried fecal matter can be breathed in or settle on uncovered food
Infection by exposing a wound or a cut to droppings or dried fecal dust

Most infections from birds resemble the common flu, including fevers, coughs, shortness of breath, and overall exhaustion. Most illnesses can be treated with antibiotics; however, there is a small chance that the infection may escalate into a long term disability or even death.

Be on the lookout for these warning signs: massive amounts of birds around food processing plants, bird droppings or nests inside ventilation systems, or a large amount of droppings indoors. Just removing the birds is not enough. To be fully protected from risk of infection, it’s critical to thoroughly exterminate all the parasites and disinfect and sanitize the area.

Skilled bird control in Vancouver can reduce your health risks and improve your well-being.
