Why is it important to keep birds away from reaching your House?

Pigeon netting and bird netting can help prevent:

· Unsightly pigeon and bird droppings which can cause problems by making pavements and steps slippery, particularly in wet weather.

· Damage to your buildings and corrosion of stonework caused by pigeon droppings

· Nesting material, droppings and dead birds from blocking gutters and drains leading to water damage to buildings.

· Infections which can be transmitted to humans from pigeon

Birds are beautiful like kingfisher and peacocks but did you know they can be very dangerous as well for human beings. Pigeons, sea gulls and a few similar birds can quite literally cover your home with filthy droppings. These droppings stink the place up but they also carry dangerous bacteria, toxic chemicals and spores.

More than 60 known transmittable diseases including viral pneumonia, Viral Influenza, WestNile disease and salmonella are spread by common urban and rural birds. The bacteria found in the waste of many species of birds create a huge health risk to those living in close proximity to them.

The most dangerous of these "feathered pests" in urban cities are pigeons. Pigeons make the very air you breathe highly toxic with bacteria and spores. Doctors say that pigeon droppings, loose feathers and the dust they shake when fluttering their wings is the cause of an alarming spread of Asthma and upper respiratory illnesses.

These are chronic and sometimes fatal for children, senior citizens and lung patients. These and other bird species also carry E.coli and their droppings which cause fever, flu, chest pain, coughing which can lead to Chronic Pulmonary Disorder (COPD). Some birds build nest that obstruct vents or drainpipes.

Keeping all these in mind it's highly important that the bird netting is done to make sure you lead a happy and a relaxed life.

Bird netting is a well proven control measure to keep pest birds out of certain troublesome areas. Rot, water, and UV-proof netting should be used for extended outdoor use.

If you look carefully you can see nylon bird netting and pigeon netting on many buildings all over the world. The discreet looking netting keeps pigeons and other birds such asgulls and sparrows from nesting or perching on ledges of buildings. By using bird net and pigeon nets you can prevent unsightly droppings of birds from contaminating your building.

Nets are made of the strong highest-quality material, they are available in different shapes and sizes, and they are UV stabilized. The lifespan of some nets has been estimated up to 7 years. The durability is what counts in every good investment, and anti-bird netting pays off. The installation is simple and easy. It does not require extra workers or some special effort. You can do it yourself or with the help of some family member or a friend. A palette of different color is available, from white and light green to black. Light stabilizer moderates shading. This additional feature adds one more dimension of protection. Except for birds, it protects from strong light. Light green net merges with the garden as one. You can hardly notice that it is there. Quality nets will never do any harm to birds. They only keep the plants safe from birds’ pecking. Some birds’ species are protected by the law in certain areas. A few additional functions of nets, such as UV and light stabilizer help in preserving an optimal environment for the safe growth of your seedlings. These enhancements also affect the longevity of the net. It can be used over and over again in the next years. The net has been designed for an easy operation and it can be stored off the season.

Local Case Of West Nile Confirmed

Local Case Of #WestNile Confirmed

(WINDSOR, ON) – A local resident has tested positive for West Nile Virus. This marks the first clinically diagnosed and lab-confirmed human case for this area in 2017. Most people with WNV never develop symptoms and will not know that they have the virus.

Approximately 25% of the people develop West Nile fever. Less than 1% of people develop severe neuro-invasive disease.

This positive human case…

Reasons to take Mosquito Control Seriously

With Zika being all the rage right now many common mosquito borne diseases get lost in the mix and never get spoke of. But we at Might Mosquito Control take it all serious. So when its been reported that west nile may be more harmful than initially thought, we decided to share an article with more information on our Blog. West Nile Virus Infections May Prove Deadlier Than Previously Thought

Researchers continue to learn more about West Nile virus and its distressing effects. Principal author on the study, Kristy O. Murray, DVM, PhD, was quoted in a press release as saying, “While we understand the current focus on Zika virus, for many people in the United States today, West Nile virus is the much more serious mosquito-borne threat, and that threat may persist even for patients who appear to have survived the infection unscathed.”

Incase Your Wondering What West NIle is we got this information from the cdc’s website to share, and answer the questions im sure you have. (https://www.cdc.gov/westnile/faq/genQuestions.html)

What is West Nile virus?

West Nile virus is an arthropod-borne virus (arbovirus) most commonly spread by infected mosquitoes. West Nile virus can cause febrile illness, encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) or meningitis (inflammation of the lining of the brain and spinal cord).

West Nile virus transmission has been documented in Europe and the Middle East, Africa, India, parts of Asia, and Australia. It was first detected in North America in 1999, and has since spread across the continental United States and Canada.

How do people get infected with West Nile virus?

Most people get infected with West Nile virus by the bite of an infected mosquito. Mosquitoes become infected when they feed on infected birds. Infected mosquitoes can then spread the virus to humans and other animals.

In a very small number of cases, West Nile virus has been spread through blood transfusions, organ transplants, and from mother to baby during pregnancy, delivery, or breastfeeding.

Who is at risk for infection with West Nile virus?

Anyone living in an area where West Nile virus is present in mosquitoes can get infected. West Nile virus has been detected in all lower 48 states (not in Hawaii or Alaska). Outbreaks have been occurring every summer since 1999. The risk of infection is highest for people who work outside or participate in outdoor activities because of greater exposure to mosquitoes.

Is there a vaccine available to protect people from West Nile virus?

No. Currently there is no West Nile virus vaccine available for people. Many scientists are working on this issue, and there is hope that a vaccine will become available in the future.

How soon do people get sick after getting bitten by an infected mosquito?

The incubation period is usually 2 to 6 days but ranges from 2 to 14 days. This period can be longer in people with certain medical conditions that affect the immune system.

What are the symptoms of West Nile virus disease?

No symptoms in most people. Most people (70-80%) who become infected with West Nile virus do not develop any symptoms.

Febrile illness in some people. About 1 in 5 people who are infected will develop a fever with other symptoms such as headache, body aches, joint pains, vomiting, diarrhea, or rash. Most people with this type of West Nile virus disease recover completely, but fatigue and weakness can last for weeks or months.

Severe symptoms in a few people. Less than 1% of people who are infected will develop a serious neurologic illness such as encephalitis or meningitis (inflammation of the brain or surrounding tissues). The symptoms of neurologic illness can include headache, high fever, neck stiffness, disorientation, coma, tremors, seizures, or paralysis.

Recovery from severe disease may take several weeks or months. Some of the neurologic effects may be permanent. About 10 percent of people who develop neurologic infection due to West Nile virus will die.

Who is at risk for serious illness if infected with West Nile virus?

Serious illness can occur in people of any age. However, people over 60 years of age are at the greatest risk for severe disease. People with certain medical conditions, such as cancer, diabetes, hypertension, kidney disease, and people who have received organ transplants, are also at greater risk for serious illness.

What should I do if I think a family member might have West Nile virus disease?

Consult a healthcare provider for evaluation and diagnosis.

How is West Nile virus disease diagnosed?

Diagnosis is based on a combination of clinical signs and symptoms and specialized laboratory tests of blood or spinal fluid. These tests typically detect antibodies that the immune system makes against the viral infection.

What is the treatment for West Nile virus disease?

There are no medications to treat or vaccines to prevent West Nile virus infection. Over-the-counter pain relievers can be used to reduce fever and relieve some symptoms.

People with milder symptoms typically recover on their own, although some symptoms may last for several weeks.

In more severe cases, patients often need to be hospitalized to receive supportive treatment, such as intravenous fluids, pain medication, and nursing care.

When do most cases of West Nile virus disease occur?

Most people are infected from June through September.

Where do most cases of West Nile virus disease occur?

West Nile virus disease cases have been reported from all 48 lower states. The only states that have not reported cases are Alaska and Hawaii. Seasonal outbreaks often occur in local areas that can vary from year to year. The weather, numbers of birds that maintain the virus, numbers of mosquitoes that spread the virus, and human behavior are all factors that can influence when and where outbreaks occur.

How can people reduce the chance of getting infected?

The most effective way to avoid West Nile virus disease is to prevent mosquito bites:

Use insect repellents when you go outdoors. Repellents containing DEET, picaridin, IR3535, and some oil of lemon eucalyptus and para-menthane-diol products provide longer-lasting protection.

Wear long sleeves and pants from dusk through dawn when many mosquitoes are most active.

Install or repair screens on windows and doors. If you have it, use your air conditioning.

Help reduce the number of mosquitoes around your home. Empty standing water from containers such as flowerpots, gutters, buckets, pool covers, pet water dishes, discarded tires, and birdbaths.

Why do my state health department and CDC sometimes report different numbers of West Nile virus cases?

The CDC case count is based on the number of cases that have been reported by each state health department to CDC. The CDC case count is updated once a week during the transmission season. State health departments might update their counts more often.

Why Bird netting is important?

Bird netting is actually a form of bird pest control. Here a net used to prevent birds from reaching certain troublesome areas.

Netting is a discrete solution that works well in high traffic areas where visual/ sonic bird control products would draw unwanted attention. The netting is not visible from a distance; it doesn’t make any sound, and doesn’t require any electricity to operate. It works best in facilities having semi-enclosed spaces or large open areas that pest birds find inviting.

Bird netting is used in:

· Warehouse ceilings, eaves and rafters

· Bridges and underpasses

· Stadiums & stands

· Gardens & crops

· Vineyards

· Architectural details

Birds are beautiful like kingfisher and peacocks but did you know they can be very dangerous for human beings. Pigeons, sea gulls and a few similar birds can quite literally cover your home with filthy droppings. These droppings not only stink the place up but they also carry dangerous bacteria, toxic chemicals and spores.

More than 60 known transmittable diseases including viral pneumonia, Viral Influenza, WestNile disease and salmonella are spread by common urban and rural birds. The bacteria found in the waste of species of birds create a huge health risk to those living in close proximity to them.

The most dangerous of these "feathered pests" in urban cities are pigeons. Pigeons make the air you breathe highly toxic with bacteria and spores. Doctors say that pigeon droppings, loose feathers and the dust they shake when fluttering their wings is the cause of an alarming spread of Asthma and upper respiratory illnesses.

These are chronic and sometimes fatal for children, senior citizens and lung patients. Their droppings cause fever, flu, chest pain, coughing which can lead to Chronic Pulmonary Disorder (COPD). Some birds build nest that obstruct vents or drainpipes.

Bird netting is important because birds can create health-related problems through their feces, including histoplasmosis, cryptococcosis, and psittacosis.

Bird droppings may also cause damage to property. Birds frequently steal from crops and fruit orchards.

Keeping all these in mind it's highly important that the bird netting is done to make sure you lead a healthy and a relaxed life.
