Birds as pests - the damage they cause

Million of euros a year could be saved by adopting effective bird control measures.

Birds can cause Health and Safety problems to your business as they can carry and spread diseases such as Salmonella and Ornithosis, often through secondary infestation from mites and flies. This can result in contamination of stock, particularly in the food industry, which can be costly to replace.

As well as health concerns, bird problems can cause visual damage to businesses. Bird fouling and droppings on entrance ways can create a negative impression for customers and bird fouling in the work area can be off-putting and lower employee morale. This type of problem can bring your business’ cleanliness and Health and Safety into question and cleaning and maintenance costs to remove fouling can be very expensive.

As bird droppings are acidic, it can cause damage to paintwork on company and customers cars, potentially creating more expense.
