A bird infestation is dangerous. They carry infectious diseases through the ecto-parasites that live on their feathers which include mites and ticks. Their droppings and their nests house can have serious health consequences such as lung disease, encephalitis, salmonellosis, hystolasmosis and New Castle disease. Essentially, leaving a bird infestation untreated is a serious health risk to all in the surrounding area. You can quite easily spot a bird infestation as you will hear them and the cries from the young chicks. You will also be able to see the nests and any wayward nesting material that is left scattered around your premises. Birds are also notorious for damaging any stock if they have gotten into your storage area which will immediately alert you to their presence, not to mention the heaps of droppings found around where the birds roost.

There are certain areas of your property where you should check regularly for a bird infestation.

Birds will often make use of nooks and crannies in tall buildings and flat rooftops in which to nest. They also enjoy chimney stacks, gutters, balconies and culverts. Any gap in your property that is bigger than 2,5cm is a potential entry point for a bird and they are bound to explore and perhaps nest in that area. Birds are also fairly strong so they can damage the building structure in order to create a space in which to nest.

If you find you have a bird infestation then you need to immediately contact bird control services.
