Mass Transit

Bird mitigation in transit and infrastructure is about short term cost and long term value.

Urban pest birds are a common problem for mass transit systems around the country. Stations, bridges, and maintenance facilities are all easy roosts for pigeons where they can remain sheltered from the elements on perches that are inaccessible by people.

Solving pest bird issues within transit networks is particularly difficult and usually defaults to a best effort given the numerous restrictions due to engineering and safety considerations.

It is essential, however, that attempts be made in efforts to protect public health, safety, and welfare as well as to prevent deterioration of the materials and equipment used to keep the system running.

Pest birds congregate where lots of people are. That includes mass transit systems. This is about long term maintenance of the system.

Remediating a situation in transit environment is a long and costly process for procurement and contracting. The inconvenience to system workers and the public is disconcerting. Whenever renovation or expansion of a system is considered, this is an ideal time to incorporate preventative measures for bird control.

Bird Control Advisory works with internal and third party engineering firms to specify and integrate appropriate measures, thereby preventing health concerns for workers and the public and reducing costly disruption to operations installing systems once stations or maintenance facilities are in use.
