Bird Control Prestwich

Manchester, Stockport and Cheshire areas are a major problem with birds and pigeons being the most notorious culprits. Pigeons can cause an enormous amount of damage to a building that if left unchecked can lead to major health and safety issues and a huge repair bill.

Such is the enormity of the pest bird problem at Manchester Pest Control technicians are now being called out several times a week to businesses and domestic households that are experiencing problems such as:

Clogged drains, contaminated standing water and local flooding as a result of bird droppings and nesting materials

Broken ventilation systems where dried bird droppings around the air conditioning units have been sucked into the system

Visible and structural damage to parapet walls, rooftops and window ledges that have been repeatedly covered in bird droppings

Often the pest bird problem is out of sight and it’s only when a major problem is alerted that it comes to light. By this time, an effective treatment programme is vital.

Early detection is the answer.

If you have any concerns about pest birds, or, you would simply like to know that your buildings are adequately protected, please contact us to arrange a thorough on-site free survey.

Bird Spiking:

Bird spikes and sprung wire systems. Effective in deterring pigeons and larger birds, they are commonly used on parapet walls, ledges, roof lines, windowsills, signage and other narrow surfaces that birds land on.

Bird netting. This excludes birds from open areas and is vital in protecting equipment such as air conditioning units. A very successful deterrent, it’s important that bird netting is professionally installed because birds take advantage of a poorly hung net.

Birds of prey. Roosting birds will often come back to the same area even after an intensive clean. A bird of prey released at random intervals, combined with other treatments will ensure that your premises remain bird free.

Health Hazards from Pest Birds

Pest birds can cause as many health hazards as rats. Birds harbour over forty types of parasites and can internally host over sixty types of infectious diseases, which can easily be passed on to humans. Direct contamination from faeces is one way that nesting birds spread disease. Airborne spores from faeces can enter air ducts and vents to settle on food or water and transfer disease. Many cases of salmonella every year are attributed to that route of transmission. Airborne particles from bird faeces can also contain dormant fungi and/or bacteria. If inhaled, this can result in mild to deadly internal fungal infections. The parasites carried by pest birds are capable of transmitting literally hundreds of bacterial and viral agents, including encephalitis, pox, meningitis, and plague to human hosts.
