Whether residential or commercial, birds sure know how to

make a mess. One mating pair quickly turns into a small

family. Within a couple of years your house or commercial

building can literally be destroyed. Pigeons are attracted to

the scent of their mothers droppings. They will stay

together on your structure until the end of their natural

lives.

Most birds pest are also abundant in cities. They conflict

with humans for several reasons. Their droppings deface buildings, kill vegetation, and are aesthetically displeasing when deposited on benches, sidewalks.

Bird pest are known to carry several disease causing organisms. Birds are known carriers of this disease.

Mosquitoes feed on the birds and then on us and the disease is spread to humans. West Nile Virus is not the only disease to worry about. Pigeons carry Pigeon Ornithosis (psittacosis), Encephalitis, Newcastle disease, Toxoplasmosis, Salmonella food poisoning and other diseases. Histoplasmosis, a fungal

disease that can infect people, can be contracted when cleaning up accumulations of dusty pigeon

manure. Pigeon ectoparasites such as mites, fleas, ticks, and bugs may readily bite people. Contact us for free evaluation of your bird pest control problems.
