Enthusiastic bird watchers might feel love for their favorite creatures, but there's no getting around the fact that birds and their droppings can be unlovable. Obviously, they can cause damage to property and serious illness. According to Pete Markham, president of A-Mark Pest and Bird Management, Baytown, Texas, pigeons and starlings can cause arcing and explosions in electrical substations. "That's a pretty common occun-ence," he said. At the NPMA's 2009 PestWorld convention, he talked to participants about bird management strategies, safety and products related to some of his experiences as a bird control professional.
