However, once they fly away, they tend to leave behind their droppings, causing your roof to look unpleasant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, bird control Malaysia can be tricky as each species has a different behaviour:<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.agric.wa.gov.au\/birds\/common-myna-animal-pest-alert?nopaging=1\"><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-blue-color\">Common Mynas<\/span><\/strong><\/a> \u2013 This large, black-brown bird with white wing patches, yellow bill and yellow legs tend to build their nests in any hole or cavity. With a strong territorial instinct, it can be challenging to remove once they have established.<\/li><li><strong>House Crows<\/strong> \u2013 This slender, blackish medium-sized crow with a long bill is primarily a scavenger, feeding on leftover rubbish. Commonly found in a wide range of human habitats, their call is the loud, harsh \u201ckaa kaa kaa\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Pigeons<\/strong> \u2013 This species of bird is unafraid of people which thrive in an urban environment. They may look gentle, but they\u2019re the most unhygienic birds and carry more diseases than rats.<\/li><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.antipest.com.my\/apblog\/sparrow-problems-how-to-prevent-them-part-1-of-2\/\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-blue-color\">House Sparrows<\/span><\/a><\/strong> \u2013 This species of bird is widespread and abundant in cities, neighbourhoods and farms. They may look gentle, but they tend to use the same nest every year, resulting in a build-up of nest debris.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Moving forward, we\u2019ll discuss the importance of bird control and how you can control their population around your house or business premises with the help of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.antipest.com.my\/index.php\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-blue-color\">bird control professional<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br><strong>Importance of Bird Control in Malaysia<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some birds may be harmless in their habitat, but some of the species we mentioned above <a href=\"https:\/\/www.antipest.com.my\/apblog\/birds-pose-threat-to-property-part-1\/\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-blue-color\">pose various health and safety risks to businesses and homes<\/span><\/a> if their population is left uncontrolled. Here\u2019s why it\u2019s important to have a bird control in Malaysia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1.   To minimise health risks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.antipest.com.my\/apblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/pigeons-health-risk.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"430\" height=\"430\" src=\"https:\/\/www.antipest.com.my\/apblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/pigeons-health-risk.jpg\" alt=\"pigeons health risk\" class=\"wp-image-1539\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.antipest.com.my\/apblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/pigeons-health-risk.jpg 430w, https:\/\/www.antipest.com.my\/apblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/pigeons-health-risk-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.antipest.com.my\/apblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/pigeons-health-risk-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Bird droppings carry an array of harmful bacteria which are transmittable to humans. Take <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nst.com.my\/opinion\/letters\/2020\/07\/611393\/beware-dangers-posed-pigeons\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-blue-color\">pigeons<\/span><\/a> as an example. They nest on their faeces and attract mites that can cause skin allergy. It\u2019s also a major concern for food processing plants, restaurants, and residential homes as it encourages secondary pest infestation such as ticks and mites to find refuge in their nest. Also, birds can also transmit diseases such as Avian flu and SARS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2.   To reduce property damage<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Certain bird species tend to leave behind a mess \u2013 their unruly feathers, unpleasant droppings, and messy nests. Also, their presence atop your business premises or residential home can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.antipest.com.my\/apblog\/did-you-know-that-birds-pose-considerable-threat-to-people-property-part-2\/\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-blue-color\">dislodge the roof tiles and block rain gutters<\/span><\/a>. What\u2019s worse is that their droppings contain uric acid, which can deface and degrade the paint of your property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3.   To minimise clean-up cost<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Like any other pest control treatment, the cost of cleaning up after bird pests can be costly if left untreated. That\u2019s because the droppings, feathers, and nesting materials can be challenging to clean. For some business owners, the clean-up cost of bird pests may well be over their operating expenditure due to the mess created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4.   To ensure health and safety compliance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from minimising health risks and reducing property damage, bird control is important for businesses to ensure that their operations are safe and fully compliant with the regulations set by public health authorities. Failure to comply with the regulations can be a cause for citation, fines, or even result in a temporary suspension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br><strong>Solution for Bird Control<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the keys to removing bird infestation at your business premises or residential home is detection and treatment. At AntiPest, our team of trained and qualified pest control experts provide professional advice and targeted control solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three methods to controlling the bird population at your business premises or residential home &#8211; bird netting, bird spike, and bird repellent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bird Spikes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Birds often gather on roof tops, roof ledges, window sills, rafters, building projections, signs, statues, and trusses. Installing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.antipest.com.my\/products-bird_spike.php\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-blue-color\">bird spikes<\/span><\/a> is the most effective way to keep birds off these surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, the bird spikes are made of stainless steel and polycarbonate plastics. This makes them highly durable and long-lasting, which can last a lifetime. Hence, you can worry less about bird infestation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bird Netting<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from bird spikes, bird netting can also help in controlling the bird population at your business premises or residential home. It&#8217;s similar to a mosquito netting but the nets are bigger and more durable to stop bird infestation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides, the netting can be installed at enclosed areas and other covered areas as a physical barrier around the premises to prevent birds from making a nest in the structure. Also, the netting is made of quality polyethylene and treated with UV stabiliser for long-term durability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bird Repellent<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.antipest.com.my\/apblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/bird-control-malaysia-bird-repellent.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"325\" height=\"155\" src=\"https:\/\/www.antipest.com.my\/apblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/bird-control-malaysia-bird-repellent.jpg\" alt=\"bird control malaysia\" class=\"wp-image-1536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.antipest.com.my\/apblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/bird-control-malaysia-bird-repellent.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.antipest.com.my\/apblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/bird-control-malaysia-bird-repellent-300x143.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 325px) 100vw, 325px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As the name suggests, our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.antipest.com.my\/products-bird_repellent.php\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-blue-color\">bird repellent<\/span><\/a> works to repel bird pests or bird species (including house sparrows). It contains safe, transparent compound which can be applied to any part of your premises where birds are likely to settle or birds roost (roosting site). The repellent is also non toxic and safe to handle as it contains <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Polybutene\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-blue-color\">polybutene<\/span><\/a>, a chemical that\u2019s often used in making surgical bandages and lipsticks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, it&#8217;s effective in repelling pigeons, large birds and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.antipest.com.my\/apblog\/sparrow-problems-how-to-prevent-them-part-2-of-2\/\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-blue-color\">house sparrows<\/span><\/a> as it merely makes roosting uncomfortable for the birds. Due to its versatility, the bird repellent can easily be cleaned with the use of mineral spirits once the birds stop perching atop your roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the severity of bird infestation at your premises, a combination of these bird control solutions may work to keep birds away.
