The Hidden Danger on Your Roof
Birds may be a sign of nature, freedom, and beauty—but when pigeons take over your commercial building, they bring more harm than good. At Montana Pest Solutions, we recently responded to a call from a commercial client who thought they had a small pigeon issue. When our team arrived, the reality was far worse. One whole corner of the building was caked in bird droppings. The damage wasn’t just unsightly—it was toxic.
Why Bird Droppings Are More Than Just a Mess
Pigeon droppings aren’t just gross—they’re dangerous. Over time, dried droppings release dust that can be inhaled by anyone nearby, including your employees and customers. This dust can carry harmful pathogens, leading to respiratory infections like histoplasmosis and cryptococcosis.
That’s why our crew came prepared: hazmat suits, gloves, masks—the works. We weren’t just cleaning up a mess. We were dealing with a biohazard.
The Cost of Waiting Too Long
Too often, businesses wait until the problem becomes overwhelming. What starts with a few birds roosting on ledges or rooftops can quickly escalate into:
Structural damage from bird waste
Blocked drains and gutters
Nesting in vents or HVAC systems
Ongoing health risks to staff and visitors
Not only does it hurt your building, it damages your brand image. Nobody wants to walk under a roof that’s raining pigeon poop.
The Smart Move: Early Pigeon Control
The good news? You can stop all this before it starts.
With professional pigeon control services in Montana, our team can humanely relocate birds, seal off nesting spots, and install preventative measures like bird spikes or netting.
We also provide comprehensive bird droppings cleanup for commercial properties, ensuring your space is safe, sanitary, and compliant with health standards.
