Pigeon Control & Bird Dropping Cleaning
From Pigeon Nuisance to Pristine
We are your pigeon control experts! At RSC Cleaning, we understand the challenges posed by pigeons and their corrosive droppings. Pigeon droppings contain uric acid, which is highly corrosive and can cause significant damage to structures. Pigeons are known to be responsible for millions of dollars in damage each year in urban areas, making effective pigeon control crucial.
Pigeons tend to breed and roost in groups, leading to a visual eyesore from the buildup of their feces on buildings and structures. The acidic nature of pigeon droppings poses a threat to metal and stonework, accelerating erosion and degradation. Moreover, pigeons have been associated with various diseases, including histoplasmosis and cryptococcosis, emphasizing the importance of efficient pigeon control and bird-dropping cleaning.

FAQS
Do pigeon infestations create potential health hazards?
Yes. Pigeon droppings contain the organisms responsible for diseases such as Ornithosis, Encephalitis, Cryptococcosis, Toxoplasmosis and Salmonella, to name a few.
Buildings that have large pigeon populations constitute health hazards for their occupants. Huge stores of food intended for human or animal use can be contaminated by pigeon droppings in silos, storage bins and other grain-handling facilities.
Other organisms may exist in old, dry droppings and empty nests and are transmitted to humans through inhalation. Ectoparasites of pigeons, such as lice, fleas and mites, may also affect people if they are in close proximity to nesting areas. The northern fowl mite is a very important pest of poultry and is found on and transmitted by pigeons. These points illustrate the importance of eliminating pigeon infestations, thoroughly cleaning areas where they once roosted, and preventing re-infestation.How can pigeon infestations be prevented?
Long-term control requires eliminating sources of food, water and shelter. Unfortunately, these processes can be extremely costly and, in most cases, highly impractical as they often require modifying structures and landscapes.
Exclusion is a practical and affordable method of control, and it is highly effective if done correctly. Exclusion involves eliminating access to lofts, steeples, vents, girders and eaves with metal, glass, screens, wire mesh and plastic or nylon netting. Roosting may be prevented using mechanical repellents, often known as Porcupine Wire.
These materials consist of numerous metal or plastic prongs which project upwards at different angles. When strategically placed on a surface, pigeons are prevented from landing. Other means of prevention include non-toxic repellents, which, when applied, produce sticky surfaces which pigeons dislike and will not land on. Sanitation is essential around residential areas, businesses, and farms.
Sources of food and water should be eliminated, and people should be discouraged from feeding pigeons in public areas. The safe and proper removal and exclusion of pigeons from a structure can be a difficult and time-consuming endeavour and should be done by professional pest control technicians.
