Here’s what every homeowner needs to know about the risk of bird nesting:
Bird nesting in the roof cavity happens when these birds incubate and raise their young before spreading their wings. While the idea may seem charming at first, bird nesting can bring potential problems and escalate over time.
While most people believe that things that are out of their sight must be out of their minds, there are several reasons why you shouldn't ignore this issue. In this article, we’ll run through some of the potential risks that every homeowner should know:
Fire Risk
The bird's nest is made up of dry and flammable materials such as twigs, leaves, grass, and feathers. During hot weather, the stockpiled nesting is more susceptible to ignition, increasing the risk of house fires.
Lures unwelcome intruders
Rodents are naturally attracted to warm and cozy environments. Unfortunately, the bird's nest invites these tiny intruders into your roof cavity, resulting in additional infestations in your home.
Increase potential health risk
Bird mites are most likely to migrate from the nest to your home after the chicks have departed. Once your home has been infected, these blood-feeding mites could spread disease and cause serious health concerns for your family.
Causing damage to your home
Bird excrement not only creates an unwanted mess and odour but also weakens and damages your home. By leaving this issue unattended, it could lead to costly repairs and maintenance over time.
