Types of Damage Caused by Pigeon and its Control

1. Types of Damage Caused by Pigeon and its Control ******************************************************************************************** Pigeon defecation and nesting material, such as feathers, twigs, or straws, are ugly and pose serious health concerns to both humans and their properties enough to generate a need for effective pigeon control in India. Destruction and degradation of infrastructure are common, especially since flat surfaces like rooftops, terraces, vacant buildings, and beams provide perfect perching and nesting locations for birds. Types of damage Broadly, three major types of damages occur due to pigeon excretion. Let us learn each. Material erosion Erosion happens when a build-up of pigeon feces causes materials used in construction to degrade and soften due to the increased acidity levels. Not only may this be exceedingly harmful to the stability, but the problem is often not seen until the damage has progressed. In certain circumstances, the region impacted is seriously deteriorated to be irreversible. Page 1

Plumbing issues Pigeon activity damages infrastructure when their nesting materials clog pipes and gutters, preventing the flow of water and causing plumbing problems. Mold can grow if a backlog stays undiscovered for a long period, which is common because nests are normally concealed from public view. Hidden pigeon nests obstructing the drains of huge, seldom inhabited warehouses have caused roof collapses and considerable structural harm in the old days before the development of bird control products in India. Blockages in air vents Bird nests built near or in air vents pose a serious threat of disrupting airflow in and out of a structure. As a result, it can hasten the transmission of disease-carrying pigeon feathers across space, resulting in serious sickness among the property's residents. In addition, the diseased feathers might worsen existing respiratory disorders, like asthma. Conclusion The aggravated population of pigeons has necessitated the use of bird controls like an ultrasonic bird repeller, bird nets, or more to prevent intrusion and damage to human health and property.
