Bird droppings and the damage caused

Birds droppings cause tens of millions of pounds of damage every year to buildings, machinery, automobiles, roofs, ventilation systems and much more.

• Pigeon droppings are very acidic. They eat away at many substrates, especially tar-based roofing materials. It can also do great damage to air conditioning equipment, industrial machinery, siding, insulation etc.
  
  

• Bird nests are often built in rain gutters where drains are located resulting in blockages that can cause severe flooding and water damage. Also, when birds build their nests inside electric signs there is a great risk of fire. Electric sign companies blame bird nests for most of their sign fires.
  

• Bird nests built in chimneys and ventilation systems can spread diseases through the system and block air-flow which can have horrible consequences such as an outbreak of infection.
  

• Most bird droppings, but especially pigeon and gull, will fade paint finishes by actually eating into the protective coating and the paint itself.
  

• Pigeons build nests and discard their bodily waste in the building it has chosen to nest in. Often the weight of the droppings becomes so great that the actual ceiling collapses.
