Nuisance birds like grackles, starlings, pigeons and other flocking pest birds have been a serious problem for oil, gas and chemical refineries for years. Oil rigs and oil fields experience the same challenges with roosting birds causing damage to structures and equipment. Pest birds love to perch on pipes, beams, poles, towers and any other open structure that they can land on. Roosting birds can cause a mess with nests and droppings including a major slip hazard for workers on ladders and steps. Bird droppings have been associated with causing over 60 diseases. It's imperative that bird droppings do not infiltrate a refinery’s valves, gauges, or other equipment to avoid potential contamination health hazards and clean-up costs.
Refinery facilities have used professional extermination techniques that use poisons and deadly chemicals to exterminate bird infestations. In addition to being inhumane, this leaves the problem of disease ridden, dead birds on the premises. The dead birds now become a meal for other scavenger birds and animals. Plus, the diseases now carry forward to more birds and animals. This method of bird removal is completely unneccessary with today's advancement in bird removal technology. |
