It is the time of year when the air is heavy and we especially rely on ventilation to keep the air cool, dry and free of pollutants. This is the time of year we see more calls with issues involving commercial garages, HVAC and airflow obstructions caused by birds.
As a local business, we’re familiar with bird species that are common to the NH and ME Seacoast and Lakes regions, and we know which steps to take to ensure that they stay away from a property. We proudly use Bird Barrier® – America’s leading manufacturer and supplier of pest bird control solutions.
Pest birds cause tens of millions of dollars of damage every year to American buildings, machinery, automobiles, roofs, ventilation systems and much more. Bird droppings and nesting materials which are allowed to accumulate pose a host of physical problems which can become very serious if they are not corrected immediately.
The general public’s affection toward birds translates into a serious underestimation of the health risks associated with pest birds. People who would never tolerate a colony of rats living in their attic will turn a blind eye towards pigeons entrenched in the rafters of their roof. Yet, in terms of disease and damage, the two pests are quite similar. In order to better understand how nuisance birds spread disease, we need to understand the basics of disease and transmission.
