Pigeons are known to carry numerous diseases and can cause damage to building structures by nesting in gutters and dislodging tiles.
The nests, once left, hold all sorts of additional pest species and pathogens. Moth, Beetles and Mites are to name just a few.
Recently Millennium Pest Control had been requested to reduce numbers of birds on an industrial estate where they were causing damage to the air conditioning units. After carrying out proofing and cleaning we decided to install live cage traps.
Successful pre-baiting and then three weeks of intense trapping with visits daily at dawn and dusk the numbers were reduced on site by 90%.
The clients have also invested in a bird scarer system that will continue to aid in the control of pigeons on site and reduce risk to human and structural health.
