Bury Pigeon Control

Pigeons are an exceptionally widespread pest in the United Kingdom. They are usually found in cities and urban areas. Pigeon populations have increased significantly, most likely due to feeding by members of the public. For home and business owners in these areas, the strategies for pest control may be restricted. All wild birds and their nests are safeguarded by law and should not be killed unless they create a health and safety threat to members of the general public.

However, bird proofing is a popular method used to regulate pigeons. There are a number of different methods used to bird proof buildings. The most typical approach is to fit anti-roost spikes which are metal or plastic spikes that stick up in locations where pigeons roost and stop them from doing so. Other methods for bird proofing buildings include bird nets or types of gel or other liquids that are applied to a location and prevent pigeons from roosting. These methods are effective at protecting against pigeons from roosting on specific properties, but will seldom have a considerable impact on pigeons in a bigger area.

Specialist pest control companies will be able to give you advice on the most effective way to regulate 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 hurting the birds, and then fit bird proofing methods to ensure pigeons do not roost there in future.
