Why the Bird Pest Control and Removal is Important in Melbourne?

If a bird infestation is not effectively controlled and removed they could not only physically damage your products and building but, they can also ruin the reputation and profits of your business overnight!


A Few More Reasons to Control and Remove a Pest in Melbourne are:

  • Nesting materials and droppings contain various parasites and transferable diseases such as salmonella and encephalitis.
  • Since droppings are highly acidic in nature, they could stain and corrode your building materials as well as your product stock.
  • Cleaning droppings regularly could cost businesses much more than eradicating a pest invasion with pest control and removal services.
  • Nesting materials and feathers could clog the drains and gutters of your building turning it into damp waste.
  • They contaminate the food products and stock with their transferable diseases.
  • Birds physically damage your building structure and rooftops for nesting purposes.
  • There is also a high chance of encountering mites and lice.

Due to these various reasons, it is essential for you to get a pest inspection and a control and removal treatment service conducted as soon as possible and to install protective systems to prevent a future pest invasion.

Bird Pest Deterrents for Business

Bird deterrents are essential for a business to prevent property damage, business reputation damage, destruction of products, and to control the health risks associated with a pest invasion.

A Few Pest Deterrents are:

  • Netting:

    In Melbourne, the most common bird invasions are seagull and pigeon infestations. Using nets as a protective system will prevent the access of seagulls, pigeons and other birds from entering your buildings.

    Netting provides immediate and effective bird control and removal. It provides 100% bird exclusion, preventing them from roosting and nesting within your building premises.

    These nets are customizable according to the requirement of your property. This net protection system is durable and provides long term value which will secure and protect your property from a pest invasion for the coming years.

  • Spikes:

    The effectiveness of using spikes as a protection system depends upon your property, which is why it is essential for you to get your property first inspected by a professional before installing spikes onto your property as a protection system.

    After the inspection is done and the expert has suggested you install spikes, you can then go ahead with it. Using spikes does not disrupt your business or harm seagulls or pigeons, but instead obstructs them from entering the premises which is why it is an effective and immediate treatment to your infestation.

  • Electric Deterrent:

    This is a cost-effective and discreet treatment that prevents birds from entering your property by giving out an electrical charge that is painful but doesn't harm them.

    This electronic protection system could be placed on the ledges, parapets, roof, and beams of your building to keep away seagulls and pigeons. It can conform its shape to any surface and practically appears invisible to the due as it comes in various colours.

  • Optical Scare:

    This is an ideal protection system for businesses that require cost-effective and discreet solutions. This method is harmless and doesn't disrupt your business.

    This optical scarer is powered by solar energy and reflects light beams to the bird, imitating the appearance of a predator that keeps the bird at bay. However, this method is only effective for birds approaching your property to land and not sitting birds.

Negative Impacts of Bird Pest Invasion

Seagulls Nesting

  • Health Risk:

    Bird nesting material, feathers, and droppings are known to carry around 60 various transferable diseases such as salmonella and encephalitis which could be transmitted to your loved ones or pets.

    If there is dried up dropping found near an air vent, it could travel throughout your building, infecting everyone and everything in it.

  • Bird Mite:

    They are small and barely visible to the human eye, however, they are very mobile. They travel through birds like seagulls and pigeons and their nests, they feed on the young as well as the adults and can come in direct contact with humans and pets once the bird has infested your home.

    Although they cannot survive on human blood they will still bite any other blood source while trying to find a new host. The presence of mites can cause discomfort and a sensation of them crawling on the body will disturb some of your employees, which is why it is essential to eradicate the pest invasion as soon as possible.

  • Poor Image:

    Having bird droppings or nests around your building is an unpleasant sight and might ruin your image and reputation for anyone that sees it.

  • Inventory Damage:

    A commonplace to spot seagulls and pigeons are in warehouses, however, having them present can cause a lot of damage. The dropping could damage and contaminate your products and stock and it could also affect the product safety audits.

  • Clean-up Cost:

    Regular clean-up of droppings and nest materials cost businesses much more than executing control and removal services. Installing protection systems around your facility will prevent any future invasions as well as reduce the health risks of your employees.

  • Equipment & Property Damage:

    Due to the dropping being highly acidic, they could stain your products and corrode your property. These droppings could also ruin the operation of your machinery which will require more money to service and fix.

  • Safety of Food:

    Droppings found in your food manufacturing houses, packaging, storage facilities, and restaurants will damage your reputation, call for various lawsuits by affected clients and ruin your safety audits.

  • Blocked Gutters and Drains:

    Nesting materials, feathers and gutters could all clog and block your gutters and drains of your building causing it to turn into damp waste and could also cause flooding within the building.

Client Testimonials

Our experience with Protect Pest Control has been great. After dealing with a couple of pest control companies, I contacted Protech to help solve our pest issue. The office staffs were very friendly and efficient and returned my calls promptly. Muzi was wonderful, when I first spoke to him on the phone he discussed my concerns at length and then he came to our property and thoroughly investigated the issue and gave us some options. We felt that he and his team went above and beyond what we expected and we would have no hesitation in recommending..
