Bird flu has been making headlines recently, with H5 bird flu detected in wild birds in Victoria.
While Dawson’s doesn’t treat bird flu, it is a timely reminder to keep an eye on bird activity around your property.
Birds nesting or roosting around homes and businesses can cause their own problems, particularly when droppings and nesting material start building up around roofs, gutters, ledges and other areas.
If birds are becoming a regular problem around your property, there are a range of bird management and proofing options that can help discourage them from settling in.
And if you come across sick or dead wild birds, don’t handle them. Follow the current advice from Agriculture Victoria.
For help with pest bird management, contact Dawson’s on (03) 9222 2266.
