Bird control

Birds can ruin your facility, image, and reputation. The unsightly mess they leave behind is only the beginning. Droppings and feathers can transmit over 60 diseases and compromise air quality, causing serious health and safety concerns. 

If you own a building, the impact on tenant retention can be devastating. In some settings, the presence of birds can cause audits and inspections to fail, leading to shutdowns and lost revenue. Some scavenger species can hamper outdoor dining and irritate customers. Expensive repairs and constant cleaning do little to solve the problem. Exclusion tactics might only relocate your problem, and the costs can be staggering. 

Rentokil Integrated Bird Management solves your nuisance bird issues through an innovative and comprehensive approach of trapping, removal, and targeted exclusion techniques in critical areas, always ensuring humane and safe removal. Our solutions are designed to address only the specific bird species at issue, protecting non-target species and other animals. The Rentokil program uses no chemicals, offering a health and safety advantage that protects people in and around the buildings where service is being performed.

Diseases carried by birds

Bird pests are known to carry a range of diseases, and humans can develop symptoms similar to influenza from the spores in bird droppings alone. Birds can also be hosts to other insect pests. It is important to act at the first sign of a bird infestation to avoid health hazards such as:

• Salmonella
• Psittacosis
• Fowl pest
• Escherichia coli (E. coli)
• Fungal infections
