Importance of Bird Control
Health Risks:
Birds, their droppings, and nesting materials can transmit over 60 diseases and ectoparasites to humans and animals. Dried droppings near ventilation systems can disperse pathogens throughout a building, posing significant health risks, especially to individuals with compromised immune systems.
Cleanup Costs:
Regularly cleaning bird droppings is costly and exposes employees to health risks. Many businesses spend thousands annually on such cleanups. Implementing bird control measures can result in significant cost savings.
Image and Reputation:
Bird droppings and nests can detract from the aesthetic appeal of homes and businesses. Visible bird presence or droppings can give visitors a negative impression of a business’s cleanliness and care.
Inventory Damage:
Bird droppings can contaminate products and production lines, especially in warehouses and storage facilities. Nesting birds can lead to health code violations, impacting business operations.
Property and Equipment Damage:
The acidic nature of bird droppings can corrode building materials and damage machinery, requiring costly repairs or replacements.
Health Code Violations:
Bird droppings in food processing plants, restaurants, and storage facilities can lead to fines, legal actions, or closures due to health code violations.
Work Stoppages:
Unsafe working conditions caused by accumulated bird droppings can lead to work stoppages and potential liability if employees fall ill due to neglected bird control issues.
Slip and Fall Hazards:
Bird droppings are slippery and can pose a significant slip and fall risk, leading to potential lawsuits against property owners or managers.
Clogged Drains:
Nesting materials and droppings can clog drains and gutters, causing water damage and potential flooding.
Solar panels meshing and proofing
Birds nesting beneath your solar panels not only accelerate wear and tear but also pose significant health risks. These birds can carry diseases, fleas, lice, and other parasites, which can infiltrate your roof void and potentially spread into your home. The presence of these pests not only compromises the structural integrity of your solar installation but also endangers the well-being of your household.
Furthermore, the accumulation of bird droppings can lead to the corrosion of your panels and roof, further increasing maintenance and repair costs. Given that standard solar panel warranties typically exclude damage caused by birds and pests, these issues could leave you responsible for potentially costly repairs.
Investing in renewable energy is a commitment to sustainability and efficiency. However, the presence of feral birds can significantly reduce the effectiveness of your solar panels—by up to 88%—and cause extensive damage to your roof, guttering, and even underground plumbing systems. To ensure your investment continues to deliver optimal performance, it is crucial to take proactive measures against pest birds and safeguard your solar installation.
