What damage do birds cause?

Seagull and pigeon droppings are acidic, which speeds up the decay of building materials. Accumulated droppings can also weaken structures such as bridges due to their weight and corrosive properties.

In addition, droppings can clog gutters, leading to leaks and potentially causing roof damage. Pigeon and seagull nests can also harm roofs by adding weight, and in some cases, they pose a fire hazard.

Tips to prevent damage caused by birds.

Cover your crops with netting or floating row covers
Birds are often attracted to fruits and vegetables. To protect your crops, install bird netting over your garden or growing area. This will block pigeons from reaching your plants. Make sure the netting is securely fastened and covers the entire area to avoid leaving gaps for the birds to slip through.

Install a chimney cap
Chimney caps with mesh or wire screens are designed to allow proper ventilation while preventing birds, including pigeons, from entering and nesting inside. Keep your chimney clean and free of debris that might attract pigeons, and promptly remove any existing nests, as birds are likely to return to familiar nesting sites.
