Why are birds considered pests?

Most birds are a beautiful part of our wildlife, but some have become urban pests. This has led to an ever-rising number of insurance claims being recorded directly due to these pests.

Birds, such as pigeons and gulls, are becoming an increasing nuisance due to the damage they cause buildings, stairways and paths, due to accumulations of fouling and to pecking damage. The acidic excreta can damage the building itself leading to expensive repairs and significant cleaning costs.

They are also commonly associated with parasites that can spread from bird nests and bite people. Having a high pressure of pest birds nesting and roosting on your premises can make buildings look unsightly. Birds like seagulls also produce annoying noises and when they have young within nests they can become aggressive and swoop on unsuspecting passers-by.

Not only do pest birds present a problem to buildings, they also present a health and safety risk to people, as they can transmit many potentially fatal diseases to humans such as salmonellosis and ornithosis.

There are two main species of birds that we deal with in the uk

Feral Pigeons are descended from a domesticated strain of the Rock Dove.

Feral Pigeons generally have red feet, a body length of 31-34cm and a weight of 250-560g.
They build their nests in or on buildings, ledges or in hollows – often under eaves or on girders.
If food is in plentiful supply, feral pigeons can breed throughout the year and have up to 7 broods of 2 young each year.
The young develop very quickly, fed on highly nutritious regurgitated pigeon ‘milk’.

Gull species mostly found on buildings are:

Black-headed gull: medium-sized with black heads in the breeding season
Herring gull: Large with light grey back and pink legs
Lesser black-backed gull: Large with medium dark grey back and yellow legs
Great black-backed gull: Very large with thick set black back

What you can do to help

Do not provide any possible food source as this will encourage these pests to take up residence nearby. Pigeon flock size is directly proportional to local food supply. Feeding birds can also encourage rats!
If cleaning up droppings, ensure you have appropriate PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), as serious diseases can be lurking in the fouling. Alternatively, call in a professional pest control company who will follow safe working procedures when doing this dangerous work.
Keep external doors closed to prevent access.
Contact Vergo for advice and book an appointment with one of our expert pest technicians. Vergo is a certified BPCA member, offering the British Standard for Pest Management.
