Stirling Pigeon Control

Pigeons are a particularly prevalent pest in the United Kingdom. They are frequently found in cities and urban areas. Pigeon populations have increased substantially, most likely 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 create a health and safety threat to members of the general public.

However, bird proofing is a typical method used to control pigeons. There are various different strategies used to bird proof buildings. The most common method is to fit anti-roost spikes which are metal or plastic spikes that protrude in locations where pigeons roost and prevent them from doing so. Other options for bird proofing buildings include bird nets or types of gel or other liquids that are applied to a location and discourage pigeons from roosting. These methods are effective at preventing pigeons from roosting on specific buildings, but will rarely have a substantial effect on pigeons in a larger sized area.

Professional pest control companies can inform you of the most effective way to regulate a pigeon infestation. If there are pigeons nesting on your roof or other areas of your property, they will 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 solutions to make sure pigeons do not roost there in future.
