Why Pest Birds Are a Problem
Pest birds aren’t just a nuisance—they can pose significant health risks. Some species carry diseases that are easily transmissible to humans, making them a public health concern. Bird droppings are another issue; they can deface buildings, vehicles, and other surfaces, causing damage and requiring costly cleaning.
