Although most Australian birds are completely harmless, the most commonly known pest species throughout the Sydney metropolitan area are the Pigeon, Sparrow, Minor bird and Starling. Building nests within your home or workplace whilst bringing along with them mites or lice, they begin to cause various problems within your home or workplace and are even capable of threatening your health. Birds can start by building cavities in the roof or in the gutters. If left unchecked these nests can become fire hazards in the summer.
The most commonly gained route of entry for the bird to enter your home or office is - under broken ridge capping, under roof tiles, in valleys, drain hole pipes, vents and chimneys. Common areas for roosting within your home or office may include down pipes, exposed ledges, window sills, verandah's, air-conditioning units, car parks and garages to name a few.
Some birds nest in situations such as guttering and down piping which then causes water overflow and moisture problems in the walls. There faeces also reduces the normal flow of water in guttering, causing corrosion in some types of metal guttering. Did you know that a gap as small as a fifty cent piece is all that is needed for these pest birds to gain entry.
Histoplasmosis, cryptococcosis and aspergillosis are fungus diseases in bird droppings and the spores from these become airborne and inhaled by those nearby. These diseases produce symptoms in humans similar to influenza but can develop into more serious illnesses in susceptible people or those with reduced immunity. To keep your family safe, it is recommended that a house inspection is done regularly for any pests that may be lurking within your property.
The food poisoning bacterium "Salmonella" can also be contracted by humans from bird droppings.
