Jarrow Pigeon Control

Pigeons are a particularly widespread pest in the United Kingdom. They are often found in cities and urban areas. Pigeon populations have increased considerably, probably due to feeding by members of the general public. For home and business owners in these areas, the strategies for pest control may be limited. All wild birds and their nests are protected by law and should not be killed unless they present a health and safety danger to members of the general public.

However, bird proofing is a popular method used to regulate pigeons. There are various different methods used to bird proof buildings. The most typical method is to install anti-roost spikes which are metal or plastic spikes that stick up in areas 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 stop pigeons from roosting. These methods are effective at stopping pigeons from roosting on certain buildings, but will rarely have a substantial effect on pigeons in a larger sized area.

Expert pest control companies will be able to 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 house, 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 techniques to make sure pigeons do not roost there in future.
