Virginia Nuisance Bird Removal Damage And Health Concerns
Bird Damage In Virginia
Bird droppings deface and accelerate the deterioration of your home buildings. Of course, this increases the cost of maintenance. Also, large amounts of droppings may kill your vegetation and produce unpleasant odors. Bird manure deposited on your benches, statues, cars, and your guests creates unpleasant situations. In addition, if you have a garden birds consume and contaminate large quantities of food destined for your table.
Also, if you live around airports, birds can be a threat of potential bird-aircraft collisions. So, if you do have a large number of birds gathering you definitely want to address this issue.
Flocking starlings can take over your trees, home and buildings. Typical starling problems include large scale buildup of their sprayed feces. The droppings contain uric acid that corrode stone, metal and masonry.
Human Health Concerns From Birds In Virginia
Birds can carry and spread diseases to people and livestock through their droppings. Also, they are known to carry or transmit ornithosis, encephalitis, Newcastle disease, cryptococcosis, toxoplasmosis, salmonella food poisoning, and several other diseases. Additionally, under the right conditions bird manure may harbor airborne spores of the causal agent of histoplasmosis, a systemic fungus disease that can infect humans.
The ectoparasites of some birds include various species of fleas, lice, mites, ticks, and other biting insects, some of which readily bite people. Some insects that inhabit the nests of birds are also fabric pests and/or pantry pests. The northern fowl mite found on pigeons is an important poultry pest.
Because birds live in such close association with humans, they are a factor in passing on numerous disease, parasites and insect pests. Some of the diseases include chlamydiosis, coccidiosis, erysipeloid, Newcastle’s, parathypoid, pullorum, salmonellosis, transmissible gastroenteritis, tuberculosis, various encephalitis viruses, vibriosis, and yersinosis. Parasites include internal parasites (acariasis, schistosomiasis, taeniasis, toxoplasmosis, and trichomoniasis). Also household insect pests include bed bugs, carpet beetles, clothes moths, fleas, lice, mites, and ticks. (Source: Prevention and Control of Wildlife Damage — 1994)
