Northwich Pigeon Control

Pigeons are a particularly widespread pest in the UK. They are often 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 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 risk to members of the general public.

However, bird proofing is a frequent method used to regulate pigeons. There are a variety of different strategies used to bird proof buildings. The most frequent method is to fit anti-roost spikes which are metal or plastic spikes that stick up in locations where pigeons roost and prevent them from doing so. Other methods for bird proofing properties 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 certain properties, but will rarely have a significant impact on pigeons in a larger sized area.

Professional pest control companies can give you advice on 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 injuring the birds, and then install bird proofing techniques to make sure pigeons do not roost there in future.
