Bird Droppings/Guano Removal
Birds are ridden with numerous diseases, which only serves to make their droppings all the more dangerous when they are not disposed of in a timely fashion. If bird droppings are not removed, this can cause disease to spread like wildfire. Parasites are also drawn to areas with copious droppings, increasing the risk of disease exponentially.
Bird droppings can also seep into nearby water reservoirs, contaminating the water supply for large populations. When a bird’s droppings are not disposed of properly and remain on the ground or the side of buildings and automobiles, the dust particles that they contain will become airborne.
Once the particles (fecal spores) are airborne, humans have very little recourse. These particles are ingested unknowingly and can lead to severe health issues. Since the lungs are an especially moist region of the body, ingestion of particles can turn a person’s lungs into an area that is filled with infection.
Workplaces
Workplaces are especially susceptible to health concerns related to bird droppings because open wounds can develop without the person’s knowledge. If bird droppings come into contact with an open sore, this can lead to a serious infection.
The parasites that accompany birds also tend to stay behind if there are unclean areas for them to roost in. These parasites find their way inside of homes and businesses and cause additional health concerns, including major safety risks for staff and residents alike.
Homes and businesses are constantly under siege and unless the correct measures are taken, the bird dropping problem will only continue to persist. While small accumulations can be washed away with a simple mix of soap and water, larger buildups require the assistance of professionals to ensure maximum safety.
