- Pigeons and bird nesting can damage roofs, eaves, chimneys, building structures and equipment such as building ventilation systems which can clog and not work efficiently.
- Birds nesting may be responsible for serious health hazards by bringing parasites, spores, fleas and ticks into buildings.
- Bird faeces contain corrosive matter (uric acid) and give unpleasant smells that can penetrate through ducts and ventilation devices.
