ABOUT RETAIL
Retail outlets and supermarkets experience many problems with pest birds and rodents, that can cause serious hygiene and safety risks if not dealt with correctly.
Common problems include:
- Birds and rodents enter the building through gaps in the building’s façade, create nests, breed, and produce mess
- Birds and rodents enter storage areas and spoil stock
- Birds make mess on rooftops which causes problems such as blocked drainpipes, slippery surfaces and foul smells. People are also at risk of bird droppings landing on them.
Popular solutions include:
- Bird exclusion netting is installed on rooftops to prevent birds from landing and settling
- Bird deterrent spikes are installed onto rooftop edges to prevent birds from perching
- Rodent proofing measures are implemented such as metal plating on fences and over holes in brickwork, impact doors and rodent exclusion zones
- Specialist cleaning services are provided to remove existing waste and fouling
