Pigeons are a common carrier of disease and pose a real health risk to the community, in the interests of occupational health and safety it would be wise to remove them from work places, such as Shopping Centres, Commercial buildings and Business facilities to protect visitors, shoppers and local businesses.
Pigeons are known to carry salmonella and other fungal infections that can lead to serious diseases such as meningitis.
Their nests also play host to small bird mites that can bite humans and cause skin irritations such as dermatitis.
Aardvark Pest Control advice to residents is to refrain from feeding the birds and to keep rubbish bins covered, not feeding the birds, will discourage them from nesting as the more food that is available the longer they will stay.
Aardvark Pest Control recommend the removal of the birds primarily for health reasons, as they carry diseases that can make people quite sick. Apart from health risks, the birds also cause a great deal of damage through their fouling of buildings, work areas, footpaths, eating areas and vehicles.
