Birds & Bird Mite

Pigeons, Starlings, Indian Mynahs and Sparrows

Pest Status & Habitat

Starlings, Indian Mynahs and Sparrows often nest inside roof voids, causing thousands of minute bird mites to enter the premises. The bites of bird mites are 10 times worse than fleas and cause severe skin irritation and blotching.

Pigeons roost on building ledges, causing defacement and health risks from their droppings.

Starlings, Indian Mynahs and Sparrows - service includes spot treatment of the nest area using a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide prior to removal of bird nesting materilas, use of permethrin dust in roof voids and natural pyrethrins misting of internal areas, to eradicate bird mite inside the building. It is essential to block off entry points to ensure birds cannot rebuild a nest in the roof void. We also recommend the galvanised vermin wire or similiar products for bird proofing of commercial buildings.

Pigeons - Other long term deterrent systems are available where pigeons are a problem. This may include installation of plastic or stailess steel spikes on ledges or other roosting areas, post and spring wire barriers and bird netting to exclude pigeons from particular areas. Electrax electrified deterrent system can also be installed along building ledges and various other locations. Hotfoot gel can also be applied to ledges on which pigeons roost, which usually provide an effective deterrent for about 12 months.
