THE RISKS OF Birds

Each bird presents its own unique set of biology, habits, impact, and pest management control rules and regulations.

For instance, pigeon feces is highly corrosive and contain a host of bacteria and parasites that can cause histoplasmosis, toxoplasmosis, salmonella, encephalitis, and meningitis in people and pets. Their feathers and droppings can clog roof drains and impede machinery.

Woodpeckers can cause damage to a structure’s façade by pecking holes, and their nests can also cause damage by blocking vents, or electrical devices.
