Keep Birds Away: Why Bird Proofing Your Building Matters
For property managers and building owners alike, keeping a commercial property looking professional isn’t just about clean glass and well-maintained grounds- it’s also about keeping unwanted feathered guests at bay. While birds may seem harmless, their presence can cause serious problems for commercial buildings. Bird proofing is one of the most overlooked yet important preventive maintenance services a property can invest in.
Why Bird Proofing Is Important
Birds like pigeons, starlings, and sparrows are drawn to ledges, signs, and rooftop equipment for shelter and nesting. Once they settle in, they can cause:
- Unsightly droppings that stain building surfaces and signage
- Health hazards from droppings carrying bacteria, fungi, and parasites
- Clogged gutters and drains from nesting materials
- Damage to HVAC systems and rooftop equipment
Slip-and-fall risks on walkways and parking areas
Bird proofing helps protect your building’s exterior, improves safety, and keeps your property’s appearance clean and inviting for customers, tenants, and visitors.
What Can Happen If You Don’t Bird Proof
Ignoring the issue can lead to costly consequences:
- Permanent Surface Damage – Bird droppings are acidic and can eat away at paint, metal, stone, and concrete.
- Increased Maintenance Costs – Frequent cleaning and repairs can quickly exceed the cost of preventive bird proofing measures.
- Lost Business Opportunities – Customers and tenants are less likely to trust or rent space in a building that appears neglected.
Code Violations – Some municipalities require proactive pest management, including bird control, for commercial buildings.
