You may think all of your bird problems at your business will go away once winter arrives. However, birds are a significant problem year-round for businesses, because not all birds fly south for the winter. Some avian pests, like sparrows, starlings, and pigeons, continue to present health risks to businesses, customers and employees. Businesses with bird problems are likely to be affected by receiving a bad reputation due to unsightly bird messes, present an increased health risk, and may end up with costly repairs from bird damages. Birds can even decrease your property value due to these known risks. Don’t be fooled by the weather and assume the birds will go away on their own. Most birds that stick around are good at finding a secure shelter from the weather and a constant food source, both of which your business and its surroundings may offer.
How can birds hurt a business and its brand?
The damage that birds cause really comes down to one thing: what can they get into? Birds will scavenge through your trash throwing food and debris all over the place and causing contamination of the area. While most birds in the wild are fairly shy of human proximity, urban birds can be downright impudent in their effort to grab a meal. These birds will hang around even regularly trafficked areas leaving unsightly droppings on and around buildings, sidewalks, walkways, eaves, ledges and window sills. Pest birds can build nests in some very inconvenient locations, and in their attempts to navigate interior spaces they have been known to get caught in machinery and cause jams and damage to ventilation systems and chimneys. Most frequently in industrial spaces, you will find nests in rafters, awnings, and lighting, often right above a work or storage area with valuable items. As a reputable company, you don’t want to take the risk of any of the repercussions of pest bird problems.
