WHY CONTROL BIRDS?
Droppings are unsightly, unappealing, and render walking surfaces underfoot slippery and
dangerous.
Birds and their droppings create unsanitary conditions and can cause over sixty transmissible (some
even potentially fatal) diseases.
Droppings cost money. Cleaning crews, related equipment, and time spent can generate large
financial outlays unrecoverable by revenues.
Birds are destructive to property, equipment and merchandise, any of which can lead to large
financial losses. They deface rooftops, floors, walls, vehicles and equipment. They halt operations
and make repairs necessary by entangling themselves in machinery or downing power lines. They
spoil inventory by eating spillage, contaminating pallets of food, drugs or chemicals, or by
bombarding aircraft and other durable goods with uric acidic excrement. They nibble at, or even
tear out insulation. The corrosive effect of droppings causes irreversible damage.
USDA, OSHA, local health boards and other governmental organizations can cite and fine
companies for bird mess problems, and even shut down those that leave problems uncorrected.
