Pigeons are a particularly prevalent pest in the United Kingdom. They are generally 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 techniques for pest control may be limited. All wild birds and their nests are safeguarded by law and should not be killed unless they present a health and safety threat to members of the general public.
However, bird proofing is a common method used to regulate pigeons. There are a variety of different strategies used to bird proof structures. The most widespread method is to install 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 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 significant impact on pigeons in a larger area.
Qualified 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 home, they’ll be able to move the pigeons that are roosting and any chicks they may have safely and without hurting the birds, and then install bird proofing methods to ensure pigeons do not roost there in future.
