Problems caused by birds
1. Fouling
Unsightly droppings can build up in roosting sites, foul paved areas nearby, causing a slip and fall risk for staff in businesses and members of the public in urban areas. Birds also foul vehicles parked nearby and for businesses spoil raw materials and finished goods, causing financial loss.
2. Physical damage
Larger birds such as pigeons can dislodge roof tiles. Bird droppings corrode stone, metal, paintwork and other building materials, while birds gaining access to roof spaces can damage insulation. The damage can result in high cost of repairs for the building owners.
3. Spread of diseases
Bird droppings can contain many types of bacteria, viruses and parasites which can contaminate food, surfaces and goods. The pathogens in the bird droppings include Salmonella, E. coli and Histoplasma, which can then infect people handling the goods and eating contaminated food.
These birds have a penchant for leaving their feces all over roofs, leading to the breakdown of roofing materials. Additionally, the toxicity and harmful bacteria in pigeon droppings can pose serious health hazards to humans.

2. TRAPPING & REMOVAL
To prevent or get rid of birds, we make roosting and nesting areas less attractive. Fill in access to voids, slope resting areas and prevent landing by using solar screen, optical disc, bird spikes and or netting. Keep all food and standing water out of reach, as pigeons will flock to where there is food and water. If they cannot find food in an area they will look for it elsewhere.
3. SEALING OPEN ENTRY POINTS
Sealing or screening should be done to all Holes around the roof and the attic should also be sealed. Sealing all the cracks as well as the holes will ensure these points do not act as entry points even in the future.For area that cannot be corrected by simply sealing, then we conduct a complete repair.
4. CLEANING NESTING AREAS
Bird nests can also contain other pests such as mites, parasites, and ticks that can stick around long after the birds have left the nest. Birds have been known to build their nests in some very inconvenient places in and around homes. all nests will need to remove and sanitize to remove pheromones and prevent health hazards
5. BIRD ROOF WASHING
washing the roof remove pheromones and droppings that can lead to several diseases, including a flu-like illness called psittacosis. Salmonella – a bacterial infection that can cause diarrhoea may also be present in some bird droppings.
