Which Pigeon Deterrent Will Keep These Rats with Wings Away from your Store?
If your store is like most, you'll have pigeons flocking to your rooftops, parapet walls, canopies, awnings and signage. Often called rats with wings because of their filthy habits, these bird pests will eat just about anything and poop anywhere. In fact, your average pigeon drops a load about 50 times a day. That's bad for any store, worse if you sell or serve food. The scent of these droppings will attract other pigeons, and unless you set up an effective pigeon deterrent, you'll have a real mess on your hands. A mess you'll have to clean up, or risk loosing customers and maybe even pick up a health code citation. Pigeon droppings can carry any of 60 known diseases like salmonella. They can also create dangerous slip-and-fall hazards, which can expose you to legal liability.
So which pigeon deterrent can keep these winged rats away from your store? The bird control experts at Bird-B-Gone have two popular, highly effective ways to keep your establishment pigeon free.
