Pest bird prevention is now starting in the hands of facility architects. This is a big change and has the potential to save businesses hundreds of thousands of dollars in cleanup and repair costs long-term.

In the past, building managers would wait until pest bird infestation became a problem. They would then hire bird control specialists to deploy strategies that drive the creatures away. This was, of course, after the pest birds had caused thousands of dollars of damage.

Bird droppings alone deface property, compromise products, and create workplace and health liabilities. Not to mention that pest bird infestation is a noisy, messy nuisance for customers and workers.

There are many design features that attract pest birds:

• Ornamental façades provide hundreds of convenient nesting locations
• Excessive ledges, sills, overhangs, and edges are perfect pest bird perches
• Open vents, HVAC equipment, electrical boxes, open light fixtures and signs invite nesting
• Use of materials such as hollow concrete blocks and corrugated steel sheeting attracts pest birds
• Use of I-beams in open-walled structures encourages infestation

Now – more than ever – building architects, owners and project managers are working with bird control companies such as Bird-X Inc. to implement bird prevention strategy during the design stage of projects. While it may not be possible to design a facility that avoids all of these pitfalls completely, architects can work with bird control professionals to be mindful of hotspots and minimize pest bird appeal as much as possible. Bird-X expert consultants are able to help identify potential problem areas and provide architectural specifications for bird control products that can be built into the facility design from the start.

This highly preventative bird control approach is more efficient, humane, eco-friendly and less expensive than a retrospective control method; it can save facilities hundreds of thousands of dollars in cleanup costs, repairs, replacements and liabilities in the long run.
