Bird Damage
Birds are capable of causing damage, but are also notorious for turning your home into a rather unsightly habitat. Bird nesting typically accumulates in ventilation ducts which can lead to decreased air flow in your home and clogging within the duct, spreading harmful airborne viruses through the home’s ventilation. Nests can also clog cutters. The heavy gutters pulling at the fascia for long periods of time could lead to warping within the gutters and fascia/soffit work. Feces, on top of carrying viruses dangerous to humans, is also extremely corrosive and can lead to severe corrosion to metal, concrete, and paint on the exterior of homes.
Health Hazards
The feces of birds carry a number of bacterial viruses that are capable of transmission through both ingestion and the inhaling of airborne particles. Psittacosis, Histoplasmosis, and Cryptococcosis are all prevalent illnesses that can cause difficulty breathing, fever, and respiratory issues so severe that leaving the illness untreated could be life-threatening.
