Pigeon Control for Mechanic Workshops: Protecting Your Business from Hidden Risks

When it comes to workshop pest control, many owners think of rats, mice, or cockroaches. But one of the most damaging threats to mechanic workshops across Australia is often overlooked: pigeons. These birds don’t just make a mess – they can put your staff, customers, and reputation at risk. If your workshop has roller doors, high shelves, or roof voids, you may already be dealing with a pigeon infestation without realising it.

The Hidden Impact of Pigeons in Workshops

Pigeons are more than a nuisance. Their droppings, nesting materials, and feathers can create serious issues in an environment where precision and cleanliness matter:

• Health Hazards: Pigeon droppings can carry harmful bacteria and fungi, putting staff and customers at risk.

• Equipment Damage: Acidic droppings corrode tools, lifts, and vehicles. Over time, this can mean thousands of dollars in repairs and replacements.

• Safety Risks: Slippery droppings on workshop floors create hazards for staff moving heavy machinery or vehicles.

• Bad Impressions: Customers expect professionalism. A workshop with bird mess around the roller doors or forecourt sends the wrong message.
