Pigeon Control
This is important due to the damage and disease problems these birds often create. The uric acid in pigeon feces is highly corrosive and can cause extensive damage to metals and other substrates it sits on for too long.
Debris from flocks of pigeons often build up backing up gutters and drains which can cause flooding and roof damage. Nesting materials and other debris have caused failures in machinery like rooftop air conditioning units which are prime nesting spots for pigeons.
Other frequent pigeon problems include slip and fall liability from the feces and debris not to mention an unclean business image. The bacteria, fungal agents and ectoparasites found in pigeon droppings are responsible for a host of serious disease including but not limited to meningitis, salmonella, and encephalitis. Many companies also retain significant clean up costs due to the pigeon problems they don’t resolve.
