Frazer Venters Submitted 2018-11-02 12:43:27 If you had to write a list of things that might cause damage to your roof discount air max china , you would probably consider serious weather conditions, heavy snow laying for weeks, or perhaps just the process of ageing. However, there is another danger which could possibly cause more damage than these, and that is our feathered friends 鈥?except that in the case of your roof they are not your friends.
You have probably never given a second thought to birds on your roof discount air max 2019 , and in fact, if you run a retail store, a factory, or an office, you probably never really look at the roof from the ground anyway. Even if you did spot a couple of birds up there discount air max outlet , you probably wouldn鈥檛 connect them with roof damage in any case. However, the fact is that they can cause catastrophic damage. If you have a family of birds living up there they can cause leaks and block your gutters and downpipes with their nests. If you do have birds nesting on your roof, it is definitely time to persuade them to go somewhere else.
One major problem is droppings. As the late Denis Norden once said, 鈥淭here is an unseen force that lets birds know when you have just washed your car鈥? Certainly, that is infuriating enough discount air max store , but when you have a family of birds nesting on your roof their droppings can cause real problems. When you consider the size of seagull and pigeon droppings, and then remember that they are doing this all the time, the mess can really build up and start blocking up gutters and downpipes.
The other problem is that bird droppings are highly acidic. If you have a metal roof they can cause corrosion and rusting which will be followed by leaks. It can also cause considerable damage to paintwork. In addition, bird droppings can attack any sort of tar-based roofing material such as asphalt. Nesting materials can also bock gutters and drains. Pieces of twig, feathers discount air max online , grasses, and other materials that birds consider ideal for building a home are all a big problem. Furthermore, if there are any gaps around your roof the birds may find their way into your loft or roof cavity and then they nest in there. If you were a bird, you would probably do the same: it鈥檚 dry, warm discount nike air max , and rent-free!
Another problem is that when nesting materials dry out, and the birds have left the nest, they can become a fire risk.
Fortunately, there is a way of persuading these unwanted tenants to move on in the form of bird spike installation or bird netting installation. The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds actually recommends bird spikes as one of the best methods for keeping birds off your roof. The spikes act as both a visual and physical barrier to the birds so that they can no longer gain access to ledges to perch on them and so they fly off somewhere else.
There are different types of bird spikes available. Some are made of stainless steel and others are of plastic. Many are designed to deter pigeons, which are one of the most common birds on roofs discount air max cheap , and are of a specific angle and length. However, if you have a seagull problem you will need a seagull spike installation as seagulls have longer legs and can step over pigeon spikes. Seagull spikes have longer pins. Equally, if the problem is starlings, sparrows, or other smaller birds discount air max shoes , they are able to squeeze through pigeon and seagull spikes so you will need spikes that are denser and have been especially designed for small birds.
Bird spikes come in varying widths to allow for installation to a narrow pipe or a wider ledge. They can be attached by screwing them down or more usually with silicone. There are different types of silicone available and some are not suitable for attaching bird spikes as they may stick to the ledge surface but not the spike. Another way of installing spikes would be to tie them down with cable grips.
Bird netting is another method of preventing birds from nesting. This can protect large areas and acts as a barrier to the birds. Netting can be almost invisible and can have zips installed so that access can be gained to air conditioners or for other maintenance work.
