Photo Album: Birds Nest Clogging Exhaust Vent in Long Beach Island, NJ
The birds nest was clogging this exhaust vent, which presented a fire hazard for the business owner!
Loaded with Nesting Debris
As you can see, the vent is full of bird nesting debris & feces.
Serious Health Risk
Birds invading a business is a serious health risk. First, birds will bring a huge amount of debris to their intended nesting area that can carry parasites such as bird mites, ticks, and fleas.
Plethora of Diseases
Additionally, their droppings are not only an unsightly mess that can be difficult to remove, but it also harbors diseases such as histoplasmosis and encephalitis.
Carefully Remove the Nesting Debris
We carefully removed the nesting debris, disinfected the area to remove any pathogens and bird mites, and properly discarded the debris.
Excluded the Nuisance Birds
Next, as a temporary solution since the owner was going to replace it, we sealed the vent with hardware cloth to prevent any additional nuisance birds from reinfesting the area.
