warehouse a bird free zone?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Your warehouses are very attractive to pest birds in the spring due to their big doors and high rafters which provide safety, shelter, warmth and nesting space to them. A lot of people tend to clean out their warehouses with high-pressure cleaners whose efforts are mostly in vain as the birds always return soon after.<\/p>\n<p>Bird pests such as pigeons, gulls and crows can wreak havoc on your warehouse and cause costly problems for your managers. Your crew can also be distracted from their daily work by birds. Bird nests and feathers are the perfect tinder for starting a fire due to electric currents igniting flames as the birds like nesting near the warm lights. Bird droppings cause corrosion on your machinery if left unattended due to their high level of acidity. These dropping can also obscure labels as well as contaminate food products which have been known to carry up to 60 diseases.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Here_are_5_Bird_Problems_Your_Warehouse_Staff_are_Facing\"><\/span>Here are 5 Bird Problems Your Warehouse Staff are Facing:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Increased_Slip_and_Fall_Risks\"><\/span>Increased Slip and Fall Risks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>Bird droppings can be slippery and may cause potential hazards for your employees and customers.<\/li>\n<li>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Health_Code_Violations\"><\/span>Health Code Violations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>In certain industries, <a href=\"https:\/\/takecaretermite.com\/birds-fly-way-allergies-not-far-behind\/\">infectious bird droppings<\/a> can breach health codes, attract fines, lawsuits and legal courses of action.<\/li>\n<li>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Property_Product_and_Equipment_Damage\"><\/span>Property, Product and Equipment Damage<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>Bird droppings are highly acidic and can corrode metals.
