Facility Architects Protect Buildings From Pest Birds

Planning and implementing a bird management program is in the early design stages of a project is crucial for optimal results.

This preventative approach is extremely effective and delivers long-term results, minimizing building maintenance costs and liability. Your clients will appreciate your commitment to their bottom line and overall project success.

The Importance of Architectural Bird Control

Bird control solutions should meet and fit in with architectural specifications, especially when it comes to measurements and building materials. It’s also crucial to keep in mind the appropriate spacing of bird control products in relation to the structure. In general, bird control methods should minimally impact the overall appearance of the building while effectively deterring birds.

The Effects of Unmanaged Birds & Pest Animals

Reliable bird control is crucial in construction sites to prevent harm to birds and other pest animals. If left unmanaged, birds and other wildlife can be hurt by fire hazards and structural damage. Additionally, they can cause unsafe and unhealthy work conditions for employees: Wet bird droppings can create slip-and-fall hazards. Pest birds can also completely halt construction if a protected species nests in a critical area, as it is illegal to remove active nests from migratory birds. Pest birds even carry many transmittable diseases. Hence, prioritizing pest control measures before construction begins is essential for a safe and uninterrupted work environment.
