Car Park Basements

This behaviour is not new, however, the impact on vehicles and facilities has become an increasing concern for property managers and car park operators.

Birds that nest or roost in basements leave droppings on vehicles, walls and walkways. For customers, especially those driving high-end vehicles such as Mercedes, BMW, Audi or other luxury cars, this creates frustration and dissatisfaction. In competitive areas where alternative parking options are available, poorly maintained facilities risk losing long-term customers.

The issue extends beyond inconvenience. Pigeon droppings can present serious health risks to the general public, as they may contain bacteria and fungi that spread disease. In addition, droppings on smooth concrete increase the risk of slip-and-fall accidents, which exposes property owners to potential liability claims and higher maintenance costs.

Effective protection for vehicles and structures

The most reliable and permanent solution for protecting car parks from birds is the installation of bird netting. By blocking access to common roosting points, netting prevents birds from perching altogether, forcing them to relocate. Properly installed bird netting blends discreetly with the structure, providing long-term results without affecting the appearance or function of the building.

At Competitive Pest Services, we do not recommend short-term deterrents such as noise or visual devices. Experience shows that birds quickly adapt to these measures and return to their usual roosting habits, leaving droppings on vehicles below. Instead, our approach focuses on proven exclusion methods that deliver lasting protection, reduce cleaning and repair costs, and ensure a safe and hygienic environment for all car park users.
