Fleas have featured heavily in human history - and almost never in a good way. A well-known old proverb compares vices to these bitey bugs, familiarly stating, "When you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas." Itchy skin and lots of scratching are only the most minor issues that you'll have to face when dealing with fleas. Responsible for spreading the bubonic plague throughout the Middle Ages and even today, these itty-bitty insects have spread disease and discomfort from time immemorial. Before you book your flea removal service, you first should reasonably determine that you're actually dealing with fleas.
Pigeons and other pest birds are so adaptable that they've become a fixture of urban environments, but the simple fact they nest and roost so close to humans can be more than a simple nuisance.

Birds can also carry a variety of communicable diseases ranging from Histoplasmosis and Encephalitis to Salmonella. So if you're experiencing pest bird control issues in your home or office you need qualified pest control experts to address the problem in a serious way.
