Droppings
Damage Bird droppings are very acidic and can cause damage to structures and machinery if they remain for extended periods of time. Cleaning a nesting site can also remove existing bird-related odors, reducing the birds' desire to return.
Worker Safety & Ease of Installation
Working around droppings is unsanitary. It is also difficult for adhesives to adhere to a dirty surface.
Liability & Disease Potential
Bacteria and parasites from droppings & nesting materials remaining at the site are an even greater threat to building occupants as they will look for a new host after the birds are forced out. Many businesses must also be concerned with meeting federal, state and local cleanliness requirements.
Public Image
Installing bird control products on a dropping-splattered area gives the impression that you don't care about the way the building looks, didn't do the job correctly or used ineffective products - otherwise why would there still be droppings around?
Evaluate the situation carefully before cleaning a bird site. Some sites are much easier to clean than others. Cleanup of smaller amounts of droppings in open areas may be accomplished by simply hosing, scrubbing or pressure washing the area.
Bird sites can contain dangerous bacteria as well as foul smelling materials. Special commercial cleanup products utilize enzymes to actually break down the droppings. Special disinfectants make the site safe for workers and visitors, and deodorants replace the smell with a clean, fresh aroma. These products are non-toxic, environmentally safe, non-flammable, and bio degradable.
