When it comes to keeping pest pigeons off your domestic or commercial property
nothing but professional products will help.
We have protected many properties in Kent where pigeons have caused serious damage to the fabric of buildings and created public health issues.
It really is surprising the damage that pigeon waste and nesting can cause.
They are the number one problem for most homes and businesses as the birds find home on ledges, flat roofs, under air conditioning and plant machinery.
They literally will find any place to nest – even inside your building!
Naturally, a few birds attract more birds!
So you can see what starts as a small problem, tends to get worse unless you do something about it.
Pigeons pose a health hazard to people as they carry Salmonella and Chlamydophila psittaci, a bacteria that causes psittacosis, a serious, although rarely fatal disease for humans. Secondary infestations associated with pigeons are fleas, bird mites and maggots.
Pigeons cost millions of pounds each year to local authorities and business owners Pigeon guano contains uric acid which is extremely corrosive. Pigeons nesting or roosting on buildings will seriously corrode the roofing materials, cutting its life in half. They cause extensive damage to rooftop machinery like air conditioning units.
Unsightly bird droppings at business premises, or places that serve food, can send the wrong signal to clients or customers.
Feral pigeon in the wild have a fairly short life span of around 6 years – hence the urgency to breed.
They feed virtually on anything and prefer to be fairly close to food sources – town centres are a favourite where people drop items of food.
Their preferred sleeping places are high up away from land predators. Generally in sheltered areas.
Nesting is crudely made from just a few twigs enough to secure the eggs in place. The nesting site is generally a flat surface and out of sight of predatory birds.
Where large numbers of birds nest, quite often the nesting material is placed on top of old bird droppings.
