Safe & thorough cleaning
Bird poo removal services in Derby
Keep your home or business clean, safe and free from unsightly bird droppings and the damage they cause.
Bird poo is one of those things that is easy to dismiss as just a bit unsightly.
But the reality is, it’s much more than an eyesore. Left to build up over time, bird droppings can cause damage to your property and pose real health risks to anyone who comes into regular contact with them.
Whether you’ve got a heavily soiled roof, fouled solar panels or droppings across your outdoor areas, it’s not something you want to leave and hope for the best.
At MSD Pest Control, we provide a professional bird poo removal service for homeowners and businesses across Derby and Derbyshire. We have the equipment, the expertise, and the protective measures to clean up safely and thoroughly, leaving your property in a much better state and significantly reducing the risks that come with a heavy build-up of bird waste.
Reduce health risks
Why you need bird poo removal
Bird droppings aren’t something you should take lightly, but it’s worth understanding why. They can carry several transmissible diseases, including Salmonella, E.coli and Psittacosis, a respiratory infection that can cause serious illness in humans. Histoplasmosis, a fungal infection that develops in dried droppings, can be inhaled without anyone realising, particularly during cleaning, if the right precautions aren’t taken.
For businesses, the risks are amplified. If you work in a highly regulated sector like food production, hospitality, education or healthcare, a build-up of bird droppings on or near your premises is a compliance issue as well as a health one.
Even for homeowners, heavy fouling around your garden, patio or children’s play area is something that needs professional attention.
Bird poo removal isn’t a job for a pressure washer and an afternoon of your own time. Disturbing dried droppings without the right protective equipment can release harmful particles into the air, creating risks that weren’t there before you started. It’s a job for the professionals, which is where MSD Pest Control can help.
A wide range of options
Where we work
We carry out bird poo removal across a wide range of property types, surfaces and hard-to-reach spaces, including:
Roofs and roof spaces
Heavy fouling on roofs is common where birds have been roosting or nesting for any length of time. We’ll clean the affected areas safely and thoroughly, without causing damage to your roofing materials in the process.
Solar panels
Bird droppings on solar panels don’t just look bad. They can reduce your panels’ efficiency by blocking sunlight. The acidity of the droppings can also cause long-term damage to the surface if left. We clean solar panels carefully using the right methods and equipment, restoring their performance and protecting your investment.
Outdoor areas and hard surfaces
Droppings across car parks, driveways, loading bays, entrances, patios and other outdoor areas create slip hazards as well as health risks. We’ll remove the build-up hygienically, leaving the area safe and clean for your staff, customers, visitors or family members.
Ledges, gutters and flat roofs
These are the areas where droppings and nesting debris tend to accumulate most heavily. Blocked gutters and drainage systems can cause real damage to a building over time, so keeping them clear is well worth doing.
A host of benefits
How we can help
- Protect your health: Professional bird poo removal eliminates the bacteria, fungi and parasites present in bird droppings, making your property safe again.
- Prevent damage: Bird droppings are acidic and will degrade your roofing materials, stonework, metalwork and solar panels the longer they’re left in place.
- Remove slip hazards: Fouled outdoor surfaces are a serious slip risk, particularly in wet weather. Cleaning them properly keeps people safe.
- Restore your solar panels: Even a modest build-up of bird poo can noticeably reduce the output of your panels. A proper clean gets them working as they should.
- Improve your property’s appearance: Heavy fouling looks neglected and unwelcoming. A thorough clean makes an immediate difference to how your property looks.
- A fresh start before bird proofing: If you’re having bird proofing installed, cleaning up first means you’re starting with a clear, hygienic surface that gives the installation the best possible foundation.
Licenced, insured & accredited
Why choose MSD Pest Control?
Cleaning up after birds is just as important as preventing them from getting onto your property in the first place.
Before we start any bird poo removal work, we’ll carry out a full assessment of the affected areas so we understand the scale of the job and can identify any areas that need particular care. We use specialist cleaning products that break down and neutralise droppings effectively, along with professional equipment and full protective gear throughout.
Where necessary, we’ll also apply a disinfectant treatment to the cleaned areas to eliminate any remaining bacteria and reduce the risk of contamination. Once the job is complete, we’ll talk you through what we found and, if birds are still active on your property, recommend the right bird proofing measures to stop it happening again.
