Have you ever been walking up the sidewalk to a business establishment, only to see that unsightly view of bird droppings covering the area all around the building? You automatically look up—just in time to see the fly-by shooting of a bird bomb splat right in front of you. Suddenly, your desire to do business has waned as you carefully step around the bird droppings in your retreat.
Business owners spend thousands of dollars each year in advertising and marketing techniques, promoting their company. A diligent business owner would never allow a heavy rat infestation to take over his establishment, but think nothing of bird infestation. Yet birds and rats are quite similar in terms of spreading diseases and causing damage. Many commercial establishments have fought with pigeon and other pest bird infestations and dealt with the cost of damage and negative effects for years, while others have not approached the issue. Birds will not only taint the image customers have regarding your business, but they also cause structural damage to buildings and pose health risks to employees and customers.
