What are Pigeons?
There are approximately 1,000 bird species globally, but just a few live in Middle Eastern nations. While most birds are highly prized by bird-watching lovers and conservation efforts, several species are considered nuisance birds due to their destructive influence on property and local ecosystems across the world.
Many migrating birds are protected across the country by municipal legislation. However, most birds consider pests to be invasive species. These pest birds are the most common subjects of our bird control services.
Types of Birds
There are roughly 15,000 recognized species of ants in the world
Risks Associated with Birds
Property Damage
Larger birds such as pigeons can dislodge roof tiles. Bird droppings corrode stone, metal, paintwork and other building materials, while birds gaining access to roof spaces can damage insulation. They make themselves at home in window slides, sidings, porches and eaves.
Allergic Reactions
If you have pests birds in your household may complain of respiratory symptoms such as sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, cough, wheezing, shortness of breath and skin reactions such as itching, rashes, and skin redness can occur.
Droppings
Bird droppings also contain various organisms and insects that can be a problem for those who come in direct contact. Breathing dust or water droplets containing contaminated bird droppings can lead to several diseases.
