Birds play a vital role in our ecosystems—but in the wrong places, at the wrong scale, they become public health hazards, property liabilities, and reputation risks for municipalities.
Local governments manage hundreds of facilities where pest birds like pigeons, starlings, and sparrows exploit structural flaws to roost, nest, and multiply. Without proper bird control, cities end up reacting to avoidable messes—spending public funds on emergency cleanups, shutdowns, and even lawsuits.
Here are the Top 5 Local Government Facilities Most in Need of Bird Control—and why addressing these locations is essential for safety, cleanliness, and civic pride.
Why They’re Targeted: Libraries often feature ornate overhangs, decorative ledges, HVAC access points, and awnings—ideal roosting and nesting zones for pigeons and sparrows.
The Risk:
Droppings near entrances create slip-and-fall hazards
Roosting birds contaminate book drop-off zones, outdoor seating, and event spaces
Unsanitary conditions near children and seniors
Why They’re Targeted: Food waste, water features, trees, and covered structures make parks perfect gathering grounds.
The Risk:
Bird droppings coat benches, picnic tables, and statues
Health concerns at splash pads, fountains, and restrooms
Attract rodents when food mixes with bird activity
Why They’re Targeted: Tall facades and architectural ledges give birds ideal nesting territory. Ventilation systems often provide entry points.
The Risk:
Accumulated guano degrades masonry and metal
Can cause histoplasmosis risk if droppings enter HVAC ducts
Tarnishes the appearance of justice or leadership buildings
Why They’re Targeted: Overhead beams, stairwells, lighting fixtures, and ventilation areas create warm, dry roosting zones.
The Risk:
Droppings on stairs, handrails, and platforms pose legal liability
Bird nests block drains and damage electrical panels
Constant cleaning strains public works budgets
Why They’re Targeted: Stadium overhangs, concession areas, and shade structures attract flocks—especially after events.
The Risk:
Birds target food waste around concession stands and trash bins
Bird droppings on bleachers, gym entrances, and outdoor walkways
Unsanitary conditions in high-traffic family zones
Bird droppings carry dozens of zoonotic diseases, corrode infrastructure, and create constant visual and sanitation issues. Inaction results in:
Damaged public trust
Health department citations
Legal exposure
Constant emergency cleanup costs
The cost of prevention is far lower than the cost of delay.
Schedule an Assessment – Identify at-risk facilities now.
Create a Bird Management Plan – Integrate it into public works and facility operations.
Educate Staff & Community – Encourage public reporting and discourage feeding behavior.
Invest in Long-Term Solutions – Avitrol is science backed and is known to deter birds from up to 1/4 mile (about 400 meters) from the treatment site. And yes, it's long term.
Pest birds don’t respect government property—but the public does.
