Common Pests – Birds
Birds can gain access to food preparation and storage areas through doors, windows and ventilators.
They scavenge for food and contaminate it with bacteria in and on their bodies and also with their droppings.
Once established they can be very hard to get rid of. They flourish near take-away shops and open-air eating places.
Always keep your area clean and keep waste bins covered.
