Cannock Pigeon Control

Pigeons are an extremely prevalent pest in the UK. They are usually found in cities and urban areas. Pigeon populations have expanded significantly, probably 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 protected by law and should not be killed unless they create a health and safety danger to members of the general public.

However, bird proofing is a common method used to control pigeons. There are a variety of different strategies used to bird proof buildings. The most typical method is to fit anti-roost spikes which are metal or plastic spikes that stick up in locations where pigeons roost preventing them from doing so. Other options for bird proofing buildings include bird nets or types of gel or other liquids that are applied to an area and prevent pigeons from roosting. These methods are effective at stopping pigeons from roosting on certain properties, but will not usually have a substantial 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 could have safely and without harming the birds, and then install bird proofing methods to ensure pigeons do not roost there in future.
