Pigeons are a very prevalent pest in the United Kingdom. They are generally found in cities and urban areas. Pigeon populations have increased drastically, most likely due to feeding by members of the general public. For home and business owners in these areas, the techniques for pest control may be limited. All wild birds and their nests are safeguarded by law and should not be killed unless they create a health and safety danger to members of the public.
However, bird proofing is a popular method used to control pigeons. There are many different methods used to bird proof structures. The most prevalent approach is to install anti-roost spikes which are metal or plastic spikes that protrude in locations where pigeons roost and prevent them from doing so. Other methods for bird proofing buildings include bird nets or types of gel or other liquids which are applied to a location and stop pigeons from roosting. These methods are effective at stopping pigeons from roosting on certain properties, but will hardly ever have a significant effect on pigeons in a larger sized area.
Qualified pest control companies can give you advice on the most effective way to manage a pigeon infestation. If there are pigeons nesting on your roof or other areas of your property, they’ll be able to move the pigeons that are roosting and any chicks they may have safely and without harming the birds, and then fit bird proofing solutions to make sure pigeons do not roost there in future.

The town is positioned at the heart of the National Forest and about 24 miles south of the Peak District National Park. It is on the A42 national route in between Tamworth and Nottingham. The permanent resident population of the town, based on the 2001 census, was 12758, which grew to 13759 by the 2011 census. Ashby-de-la-Zouch Castle was important from the 15th to the 17th centuries. In the 19th century, the town became a spa town and ahead of the growth of Coalville, it was the chief town in northwest Leicestershire. In the 19th century, its major industries were ribbon manufacture, coal mining and brickmaking. The town was served by the Leicester to Burton-upon-Trent Line of the Midland Railway from 1849. A lot of the buildings in Market Street, the town’s main thoroughfare, are timber framed, but most of this was hidden by later brick facades. The Bull’s Head public house still has its original Elizabethan half-timbering, although most of this was plastered over some years ago and can now no longer be seen from the street.
