Building & Construction
Bird waste is a persistent issue across the built environment, particularly on roofs, façades, awnings, gutters and structural ledges.
On construction and commercial sites, the presence of droppings and nesting material is not only unsightly but directly impacts the performance and longevity of building materials.
Acidic droppings accelerate the corrosion of metals, concrete, stonework and cladding, leading to premature degradation of structural elements. Blocked gutters, downpipes and drainage systems caused by nesting debris often result in water ingress, façade staining, and costly remedial works. Over time, these issues compromise asset value and create unplanned maintenance cycles for facility managers and building owners.
From a construction perspective, bird contamination on active sites can also delay projects. Waste accumulation on scaffolding, steelwork and unfinished surfaces requires additional cleaning and can interfere with coatings, waterproofing and finishes. In occupied buildings, droppings around entrances and accessways create slip hazards and breach compliance with safety standards, exposing asset managers to liability.
Protecting Buildings from Birds
Long-term asset protection requires effective exclusion systems. Bird netting is widely used under awnings, roof structures and atriums to create a complete barrier against pest birds. Bird spikes and Bird Shock Flex Track can be installed on ledges, beams and façades to prevent perching without altering the architectural design. These systems are discreet, durable and designed to integrate with building materials, ensuring compliance with both safety and aesthetic requirements.
At Competitive Pest Services, we partner with architects, builders and facility managers to deliver tailored bird control solutions for commercial, industrial and infrastructure projects. By integrating professional exclusion systems, buildings are safeguarded against premature material failure, costly water damage and ongoing maintenance demands.
