EFFECTIVE METHODS OF BIRD CONTROL IN COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES

 ​The Dangers of Pesky Birds in Industrial Facilities
Industries spend thousands of dollars each year on cleaning up bird droppings and repairing damage. This ongoing nuisance is far more costly than regular property maintenance.  Birds that nest or roost within commercial spaces can pose serious dangers such as accidental falls, electric fires, and unsanitary conditions. These are just some of the dangers associated with bird nesting or roosting within commercial spaces.

Bird droppings can damage your reputation, cause structural problems, and increase the likelihood of falls and slips that could lead to costly litigation. It is also known that birds can transmit more than 60 diseases. Therefore, it is essential to get rid of bird droppings in order to maintain a safe and sanitary workplace. Bird problems that are not addressed promptly can lead to costly settlements and other serious health risks.

Why Bird Control is Important for Commercial Spaces

These are the top reasons bird control is mandatory.

• Bird droppings can cause irreparable damage and destruction to roofs, walkways, vital equipment, and other items, including paint, cement, wood, and metals.
• Birds can get stuck in HVAC ducts and equipment and cause damage or even fire.
• Birds can cause foodborne illness and regulatory action by contaminating food products.
• Bird allergies can be caused by bird fecal matter or feather dander.
• Customers, visitors and associates are not impressed by the presence of nesting materials or bird droppings in commercial spaces.
• Companies that spend time cleaning up bird droppings every day are not only wasting money, but they also expose their workers to more than sixty diseases spread by pest birds.
• The potential for flooding can be caused by nesting materials clogging gutters and drains.
• Bird droppings and nesting material found in food processing plants, storage facilities, restaurants, and other places can lead to heavy fines and legal action, as well as a total closure of the business.
• Bird droppings can become slippery and pose a danger to your customers and employees.
• Infectious bird droppings in certain industries can be a breach of health codes and lead to fines, lawsuits, and other legal actions.
• You are losing money if your production is affected by bird influence. Avoid working in areas where bird droppings can build up, as it could cause shutdowns.
• Birds making noise and swooping can distract and annoy your visitors and employees, as well as affect work.

Humane and Safe Methods to Control Bird Infestations
A professional bird control service can be hired to solve all kinds of bird problems. They are safe, effective, and affordable and will not cause damage to your property, health, or other health issues.  These are the most popular bird exclusion methods:

1. Bird Netting
Netting acts like a physical barrier to keep birds out of undesirable areas such as gardens, canopies, or eaves.  Netting prevents birds nesting and roosting all year and protects any location from their nuisance.

2. Shock Tracks
Shock tracks can be used to keep birds from any place. Although they may sound cruel, shock tracks are both humane and safe for scaring away birds. When the birds land on them, they emit mild electric shocks.  Shock tracks are not harmful and can be discreetly nailed to or glued to any flat surface or curved surface, including parapet walls, rooflines, beams, beams, ledges, ledges, or eaves.

3. Bird Spikes
Bird spikes are the best method to make sure birds don't land in your yard.  Spikes create a safe area for birds to rest, nest and perch in which even the most stubborn species of bird will not venture. Spikes blend well with the environment and are designed to do no harm. Bird spikes can be used on narrow surfaces such as signage, signs, parapet walls and ledges.

4. Flash Tape and Chemical Repellents
Reflective flash tape is used to scare birds by causing them to be frightened by the movement of the wind and sunlight reflecting off the Mylar surface.  Solid Avian Solutions is an environmentally friendly company. We do not recommend using chemicals in our solutions.
