Birds can become a nuisance when they infest homes and businesses by nesting or on structures. Birds are not only a nuisance, but they also pose a health threat by spreading disease and can cause significant damage to floors, vehicles, roofs, and more.
Roof Damage
Birds can cause significant damage to roofs from acidic bird droppings, which can cause some roofing materials to deteriorate. The more manure that accumulates, the more damage it can cause, such as a leaking roof. Birds can also build nests on roofs, gutters, or around gutters, blocking drainage systems and causing roofs to collapse, causing roof damage.
Equipment Damage
Acid bird droppings can cause significant damage to equipment and machinery, such as heating and air conditioning equipment, industrial machinery, siding, and insulation. It also poses a health risk to people if workers come into contact with feces while working on or around equipment and machinery.
Vehicle Damage
Most bird droppings, especially pigeon droppings, can fade and damage a vehicle’s paint finish by attacking the protective coating and the paint itself. As with buildings and other surfaces, the longer the droppings sit and build up on the paint, the more damage the bird droppings can do.
Fire and Ventilation
Birds’ nests are very flammable because they are made of straw, twigs, and dried dung. Fire risks are high when birds are nesting inside electronic signs or other machinery. Nests built into chimneys and ventilation systems can also spread disease and block airflow.
Pigeon spikes are considered the most effective bird perching precautions because, when used properly, they can often successfully deter birds from nesting on roofs.
A bird spike is a strip of metal that can be installed in any area of your home. There are small spikes protruding from the metal strips. These thorns don’t harm or harm any birds; they alert roof birds that something is preventing them from perching on the roof.
Another benefit of adding pigeon spikes to your building is not only how to keep birds away from the roof, but because of the width, they shouldn’t be able to see from the roof from the ground. Unlike visual and auditory prevention methods, stainless steel spikes are long-lasting and require little maintenance.
