With Bird Proofing Bid a Good Bye To Pigeon Contamination

Everyone one of us loves to watch and pet birds. Their songs and vibrant colours would attract anyone. Especially pigeons, these gorgeous birds living in urban areas are a pleasure to watch and feed. They are one among the few animals that live with people. They nest and live in the attics of the buildings. Despite being an entertainment, like most of the animals, they can make a big mess in your home.

Especially the feathers that fall off, the materials they bring for nesting, and most of all their dropping can be so nasty. They can also invite parasites that can infect you and your pets. Worst yet, their dropping will also promote mould growth that can dispense airborne spores that will cause lung disease like histoplasmosis. So, it is essential to clean the attic and keep away pigeons from nesting there. Reach out the professional pest control in Blacktown who will visit you, analyse the problem and suggest you solutions.
