Conducive Conditions
In most cases, facilities want to reduce as many conducive conditions as they can around and within the facility in a timely fashion. A conducive condition is one where a building condition, structural design, equipment operation, food or water source, or surrounding conditions (such as proximity to a public landfill, raw materials mill or body of water) can attract pest birds to a facility. With each of these conditions, great care must be taken to reduce as many conducive conditions as possible.

Examples of Conducive Conditions

Structural conditions

  • Loading docks or canopies with open beams and rafters
  • HVAC equipment
  • Pooling water (roof and landscaping)
  • Structural overhangs and ledges
  • Open access points
  • Landscaping (types of plantings)
  • Damaged truck bay bumpers
  • Gaps and openings around the structure
  • Doors with improper sealing

Human conditions

  • Open dumpsters
  • Overflowing dumpsters
  • Dirty dumpsters
  • Product spillage
  • Employees feeding birds
  • Doors left open

All these conducive conditions, if left unresolved, can lead to significant bird problems. Reducing as many conducive conditions as possible will be the first step in any bird management program.

Why You Should Take Your Pigeon Control Problem Seriously

Property damage

Pigeons like to nest on roofs and can rearrange your tiles in the process, sometimes even smashing them to gain entry to the loft. Their droppings are highly acidic, so when they accumulate, they can erode building materials and paint, causing structural damage over time. If they gain access to the loft, the damage can extend to interior ceilings. If they choose to nest in guttering, it can cause blockages leading to flooding and standing water. They have even been known to nest in chimneys and ventilation pipes, causing damage and blockages.

Fire risk from pigeon nests

Made from dried twigs and sticks, pigeon nests are highly flammable. If allowed to build up in gutters, chimneys or drains, they can create an unacceptable fire risk. Contact us for pigeon nest removal services.

Health hazards

Far from being just unsightly, pigeon droppings carry diseases including salmonella and tuberculosis. While the risk of disease is low, the build-up of droppings, feathers and other detritus is a breeding ground for parasites and bacteria, inviting rot and decay. If droppings accumulate near food supplies, such as in a restaurant or warehouse, it can cause contamination. Besides the enormous health risk this poses, it also results in costly waste and potential closure for the business owner.

Safety hazards

Pigeon droppings turn mouldy and are dangerous underfoot. In commercial buildings, nests can cause blockages in ventilation systems, which can increase the risk of carbon monoxide. Air conditioning systems can also be contaminated if droppings enter the water supply.

Pathogen contamination and hazards

Birds present a host of problems, whether they are inside or outside a facility. Birds can roost by air vents, and the accumulation of bird feces can enter the facility’s air system. Bird droppings on walkways and surrounding areas allow for the possibility of spreading contaminants when employees step on them, transferring fecal matter, spores and other contaminants throughout the facility.

If birds are within the facility, droppings can spread onto product lines, raw materials, stored products, equipment and more, causing contamination. Because of a bird’s ability to fly, they are ideal carriers for spreading various diseases, pathogens, ectoparasites and fungal materials, including Histoplasmosis, Salmonella, Encephalitis, E. coli, Listeria and more. Birds have been known to transmit more than 60 infectious diseases.

Besides the spread of potentially harmful contaminants throughout the facility, bird droppings and nesting materials can also create additional problems:

· The acidity in bird droppings can damage building finishes, façade signs, lighting and more.
· Wet bird droppings can create a slip and fall hazard.
· Bird nesting materials can create a fire hazard around façade signs, exit signs and light fixtures.
· Bird nesting and debris can clog roof drains and cause roof leaks from standing water.
· Ectoparasites such as bird mites, lice, fleas and ticks can be introduced into the facility.

Bird Management Strategies

First Line Defense

  • Stop any bird feeding around the facility immediatelyAny bird management plan should have a clear policy prohibiting employees from feeding birds. Once birds become accustomed to routine feeding, they will continue to return.
  • Eliminate standing water sourcesAll standing or pooled water needs to be eliminated. Routine roof inspections must be conducted to ensure drains are working properly.
    Landscape irrigation should be calibrated to prevent puddling in areas with low sun exposure.
  • Proper sanitation practicesEnsure that dumpster lids are closed when not in use.
    Trash removal frequency must be adequate.
    Routine cleaning of trash receptacles should be conducted.
    Spilled food must be removed immediately.
  • Eliminate entry pointsSurvey the facility to ensure that all holes are properly sealed.Inspect around truck bay bumpers and doors.Ensure exhaust vents are properly screened.Ensure windows are closed and have screens when in use.

The most appropriate bird control strategy will be determined based on the severity of the bird pressure. For example, if bird pressure is high (birds have nested), then in most cases you will only be able to use bird exclusion methods. If bird pressure is light to moderate (birds have not nested), bird deterrent methods can be used.

This is an important distinction. Bird exclusion is the physical modification of an area to permanently prevent pest birds from entering. Bird deterrent devices, however, inhibit birds from landing on treated areas.
