The mess and antisocial behaviour created by these birds can actually be incredibly costly to businesses however.
Below we have listed some of the top reasons why bird control should be an important part of the running of your business.
They carry diseases
One of the biggest problems with seagulls is that they carry diseases which can cause food poisoning to humans. Salmonella, vibrio cholera, listeria and Escherichia coli are all transmitted via their droppings so their presence can be particularly dangerous to companies that sell food.
They can damage your premises
The acid in bird droppings is highly corrosive and can therefore damage building exteriors. As well as being costly to repair, bird droppings also look very unsightly and there’s a strong possibility it could put potential customers off entering your premises.
Seagulls may also dislodge roof tiles and leave debris from their nests in drains and gutters. In time, this can cause blockages and problems with flooding.
They may injure people
Seagulls can be very aggressive and are known to steal food from the hands of pedestrians or those settling down for a bite to eat. If you run a café for example and customers are constantly trying to fight off seagulls, it’s unlikely that they will return.
They can create safety issues
Seagulls can also pose a number of safety risks to your business premises including:
- They have been known to return to their nests with smoking cigarettes which is a big fire hazard. Not only can a fire be devastating to your business, it can also put your employees at risk if it happens during office hours.
- They frequently foul entrances and pavements, which can become dangerous when slippery.
- When they’re protecting their young, birds have been known to attack people if they think they might cause them harm.
They’re noisy
If you were asked to name a noisy bird, chances are that seagulls would be top of the list. These birds can create a significant amount of noise pollution which can be off-putting for customers and it can also make it very difficult for your employees to concentrate on their work.
Encourages other infestations
One of the main reasons you should always have a bird problem looked at as quickly as possible is because it can lead to other infestations. A number of insects such as bird mites, textile beetles and fleas are attracted to nests and roosting sites so you can guarantee that in time, they will make your premises home as well.
If you think that your business may be suffering from a bird infestation, Prokill’s expert control measures can help to eliminate the problem as quickly as possible. We can create a bird-proofing solution that’s ideal to your business and have you back up and running in no time.
