Businesses often struggle with pest birds, which present both health risks and property damage. These birds can carry diseases, cause structural harm, and become an aesthetic nuisance. Pigeons and seagulls, particularly common in cities, are major offenders. Several factors make their removal difficult, including:
- Breeding: Pigeons can breed year-round when food is abundant, with their peak reproductive period typically occurring between March and July.
- Urban Diet: While pigeons naturally eat grains and seeds, they adapt in urban areas by foraging for processed foods like leftover takeout and discarded scraps from trash bins.
- Nesting: Seagulls tend to return to the same nesting locations each year, which makes it challenging to remove them once they’ve settled in.
- Longevity: Seagulls can live up to 40 years, allowing them plenty of time to breed repeatedly over the course of their long lives.
How to Keep Birds Away
The most effective way to deter birds is by removing their food sources, though this can be challenging in a bustling urban setting. If birds are causing problems for your business, consider these strategies:
- Secure Trash: Ensure that trash bins are properly closed and avoid leaving open bags of garbage that could attract birds.
- Nesting Barriers: Prevent birds from nesting by blocking access to potential sites, such as placing barriers on window ledges.
- Hide Food: Store food sources out of sight and reach to discourage birds from scavenging.
