Bird Problems Demand Attention

Bird infestations, particularly pigeons, pose significant challenges for property owners. Pigeons, which account for 60% of bird-related issues, tend to roost in buildings with nooks and crannies, such as Victorians, causing extensive damage. Each pigeon produces about 25 pounds of droppings annually, leading to structural damages and aesthetic concerns. Their acidic feces can ruin car paint and cause blockages in gutters, particularly problematic for solar panel installations. Moreover, excessive droppings can introduce harmful fungi and bacteria, raising health risks for residents.
