Duck and Cover What do you do when 6,000 starlings precipitously invade your power plant? Run for cover! “Last fall,” relates Dave Sheetz, mechanic at PacifiCorp’s Dave Johnston Power Plant in Wyoming, “thousands of starlings began roosting all over our power generating units. Their droppings covered the units and dripped all the way down from top to bottom.” To make matters worse, Sheetz adds, the starlings were fond of nearby Russian olive trees, so hundreds of coated olive pits littered the place as well. The word “mess” comes readily to mind. View the complete story here.
Gel deters Birds from Nesting Running an airport requires a multitude of management skills, including some nontraditional ones. The airport manager deals with people, planes and -- sometimes -- pests. Gary Iori, Manager of Pittsburg Municipal Airport in Pittsburg, Kansas, knows all about it. Iori, who began flying at the tender age of 18, has been managing the Pittsburg airport for 20 years. Over the years, one of his most persistent management problems has been fighting the infiltration of starlings. "They're nasty birds," he says. "Starlings crawl right into the engine intake and make a nest on top of the engine. They make a mess all over the wiring and the engine, often causing mechanical problems -- to the point that the engine can catch fire." View the complete story here.
Humane Solution solves Pigeon Problems As founder of American Maintenance Supply, Inc., an industrial wholesaler with headquarters in Canyon Country, California, Osvaldo Mercado knows a maintenance issue when he sees one. “Pigeon droppings,” he says, “are a major problem.” Especially vulnerable, he notes, are hotel restaurants, food courts in shopping malls, and anywhere that food is plentiful. “Pigeons seek shelter, water and food,” he itemizes. Wherever there’s food, there’s a potential pigeon feast. In business for 15 years, American Maintenance Supply sells industrial supplies nationwide to hotels, governmental agencies, and industry. “We can provide 90 percent of what a hotel needs, including bird control products,” Mercado says. Since it’s inhumane to maim or destroy birds - a highly sensitive issue in California and elsewhere – Mercado has found other means to deter birds without harming them. View the complete story here.
