Adelaide’s Number One Pigeon Control Experts

Efficient pest removal done right. Feral pigeons are common in the urban environment and although they are generally considered to be no more than a nuisance, they can potentially pose a risk to human health. Pigeons and their droppings can also cause damage to the buildings they reside, perch or nest in or on. Utilising a trusted pigeon control provider in Adelaide is recommended to protect your health and your property.

Potential health risks and examples of damage caused by birds include:

• Transmission of diseases such as histoplasmosis, cryptococcosis and psittacosis (ornithosis)
• Attraction of ticks, mites, cockroaches and rats
• Unpleasant odour and noise issues
• Damage to buildings and monuments due to the highly corrosive nature of pigeon droppings
• Extensive damage to air conditioning units and other rooftop machinery
