The dependence on humans for food has led to them becoming severe pest.

The Problems Pigeon's Cause

Pigeon droppings are very unsightly and corrosive to paint on buildings' exteriors and window ledges. Should the problem be ignored for a prolonged period, pressure washing services may be required to regularly restore the buildings' exterior to a clean and hygienic state without proper pigeon proofing of the property.

• Pigeons carry mites, which can cause Skin Disease.
• The dust from pigeon feathers can cause respiratory problems.
• The droppings from pigeons are Acidic, which can lead to damage to buildings and machinery. Their droppings plus food left down for them can cause walkways to be slippery, leading to accidents.
• The nesting materials from pigeons and their feathers can block gutters and air vents.
• They spread the disease to other bird species, reducing their numbers.

Pigeon Control Methods & Pigeon Proofing

• Shooting of pigeons if they are persistently overcoming proofing.
• Proofing include spikes, nets, weld mesh and sprung wire.
• Scaring, tactile scaring using an electric ledge deterrent.
• Ultrasonic Repeller, a highly disturbing sound wave. Bird gel repellent is also quite good; this is a sticky substance that they hate the feel and smell moving elsewhere.
• Bird Reflectors are a highly reflective material that creates chaotic dances with light.

Prevention Of Future Pigeon Damage & Infestation

• Make certain nesting areas are as sterile as possible.
• Install Spike Strips on ledges and windowsills to deter pigeons from landing.
• Tie string above roosting regions; this will make landing uncomfortable for them.
• Install sloping covers to ledges; if there is no flat area for pigeons to balance or nest on, they will move on.
• Seal any potential nesting areas they can get to pay extra attention to eaves and the attic.
