Why is it important to control bird infestations on buildings?
- Bird infestations can lead to significant damage to buildings.
- Bird droppings tend to be highly acidic which can particularly affect paint finishes and roofs that are tar-based if they are not regularly cleaned up
- Particularly on heritage buildings, the acids can cause irreversible damage that results in scarring of the building fabric
- The corrosion caused by bird fouling can last for a long time, even when it has been cleaned away
- Surfaces covered with bird guano and nest material accumulation pose potential health risks from bacteria and parasites. Pigeons are known to carry disease that can be easily transmitted to humans through their droppings
- Buildings constructed of limestone or calcariferous sandstone are most at risk of the acidic effects of bird guano
- The aesthetic of a building affected by bird infestation is dramatically compromised.
