But fear not, at The Ex-Terminators, we’re not just your average bird busters; we’re here to lead you through the avian adventure and triumph over the challenges of a pigeon infestation. Because when pigeons plot, we’ve got the professional playbook!
Problems Caused by Pigeons
- Impact on Businesses: Pigeon infestations can deter customers and clients, affecting businesses in areas heavily populated by these birds.
- Health Risks: Pigeons can carry diseases such as histoplasmosis, cryptococcosis, and psittacosis, posing a risk to public health.
- Property Damage: Pigeon droppings can corrode building materials, statues, and monuments, causing structural damage over time.
- Nuisance and Noise: Large pigeon populations create noise pollution with their cooing and fluttering, impacting the quality of life for residents.
- Air Quality Concerns: Accumulation of pigeon droppings can contribute to poor air quality as the droppings dry and turn into airborne particles.
- Safety Hazards: Slippery surfaces due to pigeon droppings can create safety hazards, especially on sidewalks and public spaces.
- Negative Aesthetic Impact: Pigeon droppings deface buildings, public spaces, and landmarks, negatively affecting the city’s aesthetic appeal.
- Blocked Drains and Gutters: Pigeon nests and feathers can clog drains and gutters, leading to water accumulation and potential flooding.
- Transmission of Parasites: Pigeons may host parasites like mites and ticks, which can be transmitted to humans and other animals.
- Potential Damage to Vehicles: Pigeon droppings, if left unattended, can damage the paint and finish of vehicles parked in affected areas.
Signs of a Pigeon Infestation
- Increased Bird Noises: Be attentive to a noticeable uptick in bird calls around your premises.
- Proliferation of Droppings: Keep an eye out for numerous droppings, which can not only be unsightly but also indicate a potential pigeon infestation.
- Structural Damage: Watch for visible harm to your property caused by nests or accumulated droppings, as pigeons can create structural issues.
- Stray Materials: Take note of the accumulation of feathers, as this may signal potential nesting areas for pigeons. Regular inspections can help identify and address these signs promptly.
