When birds settle in the wrong places - warehouses, farms, rooftops, runways - they bring more than just noise and mess. The real cost of birds includes damaged equipment, lost product, hygiene risks, and compliance breaches.
Many site managers hesitate at the price of a bird deterrent system. But here’s the truth: effective bird control is not a cost - it’s an investment that pays for itself many times over.
Hidden Costs of Bird Infestation
Let’s break down where uncontrolled bird activity hits your budget:
-
- Structural damage: Bird droppings are highly acidic and corrode steel, paint, and concrete.
- Cleanup and maintenance: Frequent cleaning of machinery, vehicles, and workspaces racks up labour costs.
- Product contamination: Birds foul silage, stored grain, packaging areas, and food manufacturing lines.
- Health and safety violations: Birds spread diseases like salmonella and campylobacter - especially risky in food and livestock environments.
- Public image and compliance: Bird mess on customer-facing premises or around aircraft isn’t just gross - it’s a compliance issue.
Whether you're managing a dairy shed, marine operation, airstrip, factory, or commercial building, these issues carry real costs - often thousands per year.
How Bird Control Saves You Money
An effective bird deterrent system reduces or eliminates these ongoing expenses:
-
- Less cleaning and maintenance
- Fewer repairs to roofs, machinery, and buildings
- Reduced product loss and contamination risk
- Fewer health and safety incidents
- Improved public perception and compliance scores
