What 2,000 Pounds of Bird Droppings Looks Like

You might wonder what 2,000 pounds of bird droppings actually looks like.We don’t recommend finding out the hard way.

Our team at Montana Pest Solutions just completed a large-scale bird netting and cleanup project right here in Montana. What started as “just a few birds nesting up there” turned into more than 300 birds making themselves at home—and leaving behind nearly a ton of droppings.

That’s right. Two thousand pounds of bird waste.

And while it may sound unbelievable, this is a common story for commercial and industrial properties that let a small bird issue go unchecked.

When Birds Move In, Problems Multiply

It always starts with one bird. One bird finds a cozy corner, builds a nest, and begins to roost. Before long, its friends, family, and extended relatives show up too. What seems harmless becomes a full-blown infestation.

But bird infestations aren’t just messy—they’re dangerous.

Bird droppings are highly acidic and can corrode metal, paint, and building materials. They also carry pathogens like Histoplasma capsulatum, which can cause serious respiratory infections. For businesses, the impact goes far beyond the cleanup:

• Damaged insulation and wiring

• Clogged ventilation systems

• Unpleasant odor and contamination

• Health and safety violations

• Loss of customers due to unsanitary conditions

By the time it smells bad, it’s already a problem.

The Cleanup: Behind the Scenes

Our crew stepped in to tackle the job safely and effectively. The first step was a full assessment of the infestation site—identifying roosting zones, droppings buildup, and potential access points.

Then came the cleanup.

We safely removed the accumulated waste, disinfected the area to eliminate bacteria and odors, and installed a professional-grade bird netting system. This solution prevents birds from returning while maintaining airflow and visibility.

The result?A clean, secure, and bird-free environment that protects the building, the workers, and everyone passing through.

Why Bird Control Matters

Bird control isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about protecting your property and public health. The longer birds stay, the more damage they cause. A minor issue in the spring can become a full-blown cleanup project by winter.

That’s why prevention is always cheaper than repair.

With our custom bird control systems, we help property owners avoid these expensive surprises. Whether you manage a warehouse, retail plaza, or agricultural facility, our solutions are designed to:

• Stop nesting before it starts

• Protect structural integrity

• Maintain hygiene and safety standards

• Preserve your business reputation
