Property Damage from Birds
Birds will nest or roost just
about anywhere that can provide shelter,
including vents, chimneys, soffits, ledges and
trusses. Multi-unit, industrial and commercial
buildings are especially attractive to birds
because of the large open spaces, accessibility
and distance from humans.
Some major property-related
damage birds can cause includes:
-
Bird droppings are acidic
and can cause permanent damage to building
materials and property. Mould and rot can
also be caused by excessive droppings.
-
Their nests can pose a fire
hazard in vents and chimneys as well as near
electrical components.
-
Birds may also consume or
contaminate agricultural and food products
stored in or around buildings.
Health Risks from Birds
Microorganisms often flourish
where birds nest and roost, which can lead to
hazardous conditions for residents and
employees.
Some health risks posed by birds
include:
-
Bird droppings can cause
mould build-up and attract various parasites
that can lead to respiratory problems in
humans.
-
Birds and their nests are
hosts to numerous parasites such as fleas,
bed bugs, mites and lice. These parasites
can migrate to pets and people and cause
skin irritation.
-
Birds can also cause
specific human diseases such as:
-
West Nile Virus –
mosquitoes that bite an infected bird
will then infect humans when bitten
-
Histoplasmosis – if
spores from bird droppings are inhaled,
this incurable disease, characterized by
flu-like symptoms, can cause severe
illness in the young, old and people
with impaired immune systems
-
Mother birds and large
flocks (particularly geese), can become
quite aggressive and will chase or peck
people who get too close

and disinfect all of the contaminated areas
using environmentally-friendly products.
