Unexpected Pests: Seagulls by the coast
Seagulls are a pest found in many coastal towns around the world. They are seen as pests and not just due to them pooping on cars and beachgoers. As tourists swamp to beaches and coasts as does their food rubbish and overflowing bins, this encourages seagulls to hang around to feed. This in turn can cause the gulls to swoop down on people, either getting very close to scare them or even attacking
them for their food.
Seagulls are pests who are quite dangerous as they can pick up harmful bacteria which can lead to some nasty and potentially dangerous infections, like E. coli, salmonella and listeria. Also thousands of mites can be found in their empty nests and this can be passed on and lead to infections and severe skin irritation. They can be very aggressive and can attack people, this is especially when they think their young are under threat.
