Birds of the Season are here and so are Air Quality Concerns

Bird Activity, Ventilation Issues & Commercial Property Concerns

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 also the time of year we see more calls involving commercial garages, HVAC systems, and airflow obstructions caused by birds.

As a local business, we are familiar with bird species common to the NH and ME Seacoast and Lakes regions, and we know which steps to take to ensure they stay away from your 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 more. Bird droppings and nesting materials that are allowed to accumulate can create serious physical and structural problems if not corrected immediately.

The general public’s affection toward birds often leads to a serious underestimation of the health risks associated with pest birds. People who would never tolerate a colony of rats living in their attic may turn a blind eye toward pigeons entrenched in the rafters of their roof. Yet, in terms of disease and damage, the two pests are quite similar. To better understand how nuisance birds spread disease, we must understand the basics of disease transmission and contamination.
