Nesting birds can cause many problems for home owners and commercial buildings alike. Birds are usually a seasonal pest, looking for a warm roof void to build their nest in, this can lead to problems of bird lice after the birds have left the nest. Birds like cockatoos can also damage timbers around the exterior of the home in particular cedars which can be very expensive to replace.
Birds can also build nests in guttering which then blocks water flow, causing overflow and may also lead to moisture problems within the home. Their dropping are unsightly on commercial building and carry Salmonella which can be contracted by humans.
In homes with a nest, it is best to wait until the birds have left the nest and then replace the broken tiles or block holes they have used for access. A lice treatment may be required if people are feeling itchy or have bites. As lice are parasites which require a blood meal to survive and reproduce they will move out of the roof and onto human if birds are no longer available.
The installation of bird spikes is effective in deterring bird roosting. These spikes are glued into place in the areas of bird activity to prevent further damage to the property.
