Pigeon Guard offers
cleaning and disinfecting of pigeon dropping areas.
Pigeons are known to carry and transmit several
diseases such as Pigeon Ornithosis, Encephalitis,
Newcastle Disease, Histoplasmosis,
Cryptococcosis, Toxoplasmosis,
Pseudo-Tuberculosis, Psittacosis,
plus up to sixty more diseases! |

|
The
following is a brief description of some of these
major diseases: |
 |
Histoplasmosis: |
| |
A disease caused by fungus,
which grows in pigeon droppings. It also grows
in soil and is found throughout the world. A person
may breathe in some of the fungus which can cause
infection. |
|
Cryptococcosis: |
| |
Another fungal disease associated
with pigeon droppings. |
|
Psittacosis: |
| |
This bacterial disease in humans
is characterized by fatigue, fever, headache,
rash, chills and sometimes pneumonia. |

| Probably the most effective control
is exclusion. You EXCLUDE them from the area. This,
sometimes, is not an easy proposition. Bridges and
other super structures offer may areas that pigeons
enjoy roosting on, and depending on how these structures
are built, it can be difficult, if not impossible,
to exclude the pigeons. |
| Physical barriers consist of bird
nettings, constructed of needle sharp barbs which
are designed to keep the birds away from a roosting
area. They help. However, the bird will gather sticks,
leaves and other debris to cover the barbs, and
if they are not maintained, the pigeons will beb
back. Netting also helps, but both methods need
to be installed, sp planning and how these devices
are to be placed is very important. |
| The pigeons will exploit every crack
or crevice, and will certainly find every flaw of
your well planned exclusion effort. Although pigeons
are not very smart, they are creatures of habit
and will try to return to the same places as before. |
