Why are pigeons on the roof causing the problem?

Even though pigeons look harmless, they cause a lot of problems, especially in tall buildings. These problems get worse as the number of pigeons grows, so you shouldn't wait to get rid of them if you see them on your roof or in your yard. One of the worst things about pigeons is that they come into homes in groups. If you see one pigeon on your roof, likely, there are already a lot of them there.  

Here are some problems that pigeons on the roof can cause. Some are listed below: 

• Usually, bird droppings are acidic, and you already know that acid slowly breaks down things. If bird droppings stay on your roof for a long time, they will slowly eat away at the roof's material, which could lead to leaks. There's no need to remind you that a leaking roof can cause water damage.
• Most of the time, these birds make their nests in drains, rain gutters, and the corners of roofs. The issue with this is that it could stop your building's drains. If you don't fix this, standing water can cause your roof to collapse, which can cause a lot of damage. 
• Your HVAC units, canopies, and water towers can all be damaged by bird droppings. They can also damage your balconies and ledges, which makes your property worth less. Most importantly, people who live or work in these kinds of apartments or buildings are at serious risk for their health.

• Because bird nests are made of things that can catch fire, it is dangerous to be on the roof where they are. Most of the time, the nest is made of dried twigs and straws, which are both very flammable. Whenever a flying ember hits a nest, it can start a fire right away. This is why bird nests start most sign fires. 
• When a lot of bird nests build up in a place where air flows, they can block the airflow. This can cause serious health problems. Pigeons can live and build their nests in any part of your building. Even better is when they build their nests in the open areas of your building. They sometimes build their nests in places that are hard to find. Before you find out that pigeons and their nests are in those places, the nests would have done a lot of damage. 
• Pigeons can get in through holes in your ceiling and stay there for a long time. They will have more babies, which will make them drop more. At some point, your ceiling won't be able to support its weight anymore, and it will fall. 
• If pigeon droppings make your building look bad, you may have to paint it to keep from getting fined by health officials. Painting a building is not an easy task. It takes a large amount of money. Don't forget that it was a cost that could have been avoided. 
• Slips and falls can happen because their droppings are slippery. If someone who is carrying a baby trips and falls, it could be a double accident. Most importantly, if one of your tenants' trips and falls in your building, you will be held responsible. What if the same accident happens to more than one tenant? You already know how much money you can pay as compensation.
