At Bell Bird Control, cleanup of bird infested sites is a first priority and is usually completed before a full exclusion program is started. Cleanup is performed with protective clothing. Droppings are disposed of properly.

Proper disinfecting of a site is extremely important to workers and occupants. The main goal must be to kill all disease agents at the site so they no longer pose a Health Hazard. Any bird-site cleanup or disinfecting should be performed by trained technicians.

Improper clean-up can cause many contaminates to become airborne and make the situation even worse. Contaminated dust can be brought into a building through air handling equipment. Fleas, ticks, mites and other ectoparasites thrive in and around birds' nests and accumulated droppings. These same pests can infiltrate buildings and spread diseases.
