Birds can present a risk to public health by spreading disease via their droppings. These cause an unsightly mess around perching and roosting areas and also damage structures.

Many insect infestations originate from birds nests. Control of birds through population reduction techniques is generally both less desirable and less effective than removing their food sources or blocking off sites where they perch or roost. The latter technique, known as proofing, is now used extensively with blunt spikes, sprung wires and nets installed on buildings to keep birds off without harming them.

Cedar Pest install proofing measures to deter birds. Removal of old carcasses and bird droppings is also professionally undertaken.
