The Importance of Bird Proofing
Bird proofing is crucial for both properties and businesses to prevent potential damage and health risks caused by birds. When birds such as pigeons and seagulls roost or nest on buildings, they can cause significant structural damage over time. Their droppings are acidic and can corrode building materials, including metal, stone, and wood. This not only impacts the aesthetic appeal of the property but also leads to costly repairs and maintenance.
In addition to the structural damage, bird droppings pose serious health hazards. They can carry various pathogens, including bacteria and fungi, that can cause diseases such as histoplasmosis, cryptococcosis, and psittacosis. These diseases can affect both employees and customers, leading to potential health risks and legal liabilities for businesses.
By implementing effective bird proofing measures from GoKill, property owners and businesses can protect their investments, maintain a clean and safe environment, and enhance the overall customer experience.

Bird Proofing Solar Panels
Solar panels require special consideration when it comes to bird proofing because birds can cause significant issues that impact the efficiency and longevity of the panels. Birds often seek shelter under solar panels, leading to the accumulation of nests, droppings, and debris, which can block sunlight and reduce the panels’ energy output.
The acidity of bird droppings can cause physical damage to the panels and their components. Effective bird proofing solutions prevent these issues, ensuring the optimal performance of the solar panels and reducing maintenance costs. This not only protects the investment but also maximises the environmental benefits of solar energy.
