Bird waste, poo, guano, droppings, excrement is an unsightly problem and a potential health risk for a wide variety of public and private buildings and spaces.
Pigeon poo isn’t just ugly and smelly and unpleasant. It’s unsanitary, and it can be dangerous to your health, as well as the health of your staff, clients, customers, family, and friends.
The most common bird waste problems are heavy soiling and staining of the external cladding of a building and large waste piles below a roosting and breeding location. Bird waste can also build up in roof spaces, on warehouse and shed floors and in important traffic areas such as office and public building entrance ways.
Pigeons are by far the most prevalent pest bird in most settings. They roost just about everywhere and create large amounts of waste. In addition to being unsightly, the acid in pigeon poo and other bird waste can corrode plastic, metal, wood, and even stone. Over time, unremoved bird waste can damage buildings and any equipment stored below the roosting site.
Bird droppings can also be a health hazard, potentially carrying diseases such as histoplasmosis, cryptococcosis and psittacosis. Fortunately, these diseases are rare, and the most common reason for removing bird waste is to increase the aesthetics and hygiene of a particular area, to prevent bad smells, and to limit infestation of the area with insects and other pests that may be attracted to the waste.
Our highly trained staff are accredited to work safely and efficiently at heights and within confined spaces, and we provide all the necessary personal protective equipment (PPE) such as protective suits and masks and respiratory protection when dealing with your bird waste problem.
Once the pigeon poo / bird waste cleaning is complete, we recommend you install anti-nesting, anti-perching and anti-access products such as anti-roosting spikes and netting. The installation of these deterrents must take place as soon as possible after all surfaces have been cleaned to ensure the relevant products adhere correctly and to avoid re-entry by the birds and further surface soiling and waste build up.
