Bird Droppings on Your Storefront or Entrance?

 Storefront ledges, signs, and overhangs provide easy access to roosting areas.

Storefronts often include multiple structural features that attract birds.

Common areas include:

• storefront ledges and trim
• overhangs and awnings
• building signs above entrances
• lighted architectural features
• entry canopy edges

These areas provide shelter and visibility, making them ideal for birds to return to repeatedly.

 Droppings and nesting create visible mess and ongoing complaints in customer areas.

Bird activity on storefronts quickly becomes a problem for commercial properties:

• droppings on sidewalks and entrances
• staining on glass, signage, and facade surfaces
• contamination near customer walkways
• nesting debris above entry points
• ongoing cleaning and maintenance

Because these areas are highly visible, the problem often impacts customers and tenants directly.

 Deterrent and exclusion systems stop birds from landing and returning.

Midwest Bird Control installs systems designed to prevent birds from using storefront structures.

Solutions may include:

• bird spikes on ledges and trim
• deterrent systems for landing surfaces
• exclusion methods for overhangs and facade features
• netting for larger storefront problem areas

These systems prevent birds from returning and eliminate ongoing mess.

 Common on commercial properties with high foot traffic and visible entry areas.

Storefront bird problems are common on:

• shopping centers and retail plazas
• restaurants and food service locations
• strip malls
• downtown commercial buildings
• hotels with ground-level retail
• mixed-use commercial properties

Any building with exposed storefront structures can develop recurring bird problems.

 Identify problem areas and install a long-term solution.

Every storefront is different.

The most effective solution depends on ledges, signs, and structural features around the entrance.

Midwest Bird Control provides inspections and installs bird control systems for commercial properties.
