Feral bird proofing typically involves measures to prevent wild birds from accessing and roosting on buildings or other structures. This is often necessary because feral birds can cause major damage to property, create unsanitary conditions, and spread disease.
Some of the serious infectious diseases humans can be exposed to by inhaling the fungal spores from dried bird droppings (especially pigeons) are Histoplasmosis, Psittacosis, and Cryptococcosis. These diseases can cause severe illness such as respiratory infections, gastrointestinal issues, or even meningitis (an infection of the brain). Therefore, if feral birds are creating havoc at your property, it is important to take steps to eliminate the problem before it becomes a risk to your health.
Some common methods of feral bird proofing include:
1. Installing bird netting: This is a physical barrier made of durable, lightweight material that prevents birds from accessing a specific area. This method provides highly effective results and is barely noticeable.
2. Installing bird spikes: These are narrow, pointed strips that can be attached to ledges, windowsills, roof edges, and other surfaces to prevent birds from landing.
3. Using bird wire: This is a thin, high-tension wire that is strung along edges to create an unstable surface that birds can’t land on.
4. Installing bird slides: These are angled plastic or metal panels that are installed on ledges or other surfaces to prevent birds from perching.
5. Applying bird repellent: There are a variety of bird repellents available, including sprays, gels, and electronic devices, that can be used to discourage birds from landing or roosting in a specific area.
The specific method used will depend on the type of birds and the location in question. Kross Pest Management provide a wide range of bird proofing solutions to suit your individual needs. We ensure that the most appropriate method is selected and installed correctly.
