Ellesmere Port Pigeon Control

Pigeons are an extremely widespread pest in the United Kingdom. They are usually found in cities and urban areas. Pigeon populations have expanded 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 cause a health and safety risk 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 properties. The most common method is to fit anti-roost spikes which are metal or plastic spikes that stick up in places 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 which are applied to a location and discourage pigeons from roosting. These methods are effective at protecting against pigeons from roosting on certain buildings, but will seldom have a considerable impact on pigeons in a bigger area.

Experienced pest control companies can advise you of the most effective way to control 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 injuring the birds, and then fit bird proofing methods to make sure pigeons do not roost there in future.
