Pigeon Pest Control in London
Effective pigeon removal
You might think pigeons are harmless but feral pigeons, or town pigeons, can become a huge problem in urban and rural areas. Once they’ve built their nests on or in your buildings or sheds, they are very hard to get rid of, too. Whilst you might like their cooing, you won’t like the damage their droppings can do, such as leaving stains on brickwork and contamination, and they are also carriers of diseases.
Pigeons, which are grey or white in colour, like to build their nests from leaves, grass, and twigs in the eaves of buildings, on girders and even under solar panels. Once the nest is built, they will lay two eggs which will hatch just 18 days later. Not only that, but when the chicks are only 3 weeks old, the pigeon parents start breeding again. This means a nesting pigeon population will grow rapidly until it becomes unmanageable. So, before you become overrun with pigeons, call our professional pigeon pest control London team who are highly experienced in pigeon removal, and methods to deter pigeons in the future.
What are the signs of having a pigeon infestation?
It’s easy to think it’s just a few pigeons but because they breed so vociferously, it’s important to get on top of the problem as soon as possible. Although their most active breeding season is March to July, they produce so many chicks in a short space of time and repeat the process rapidly, their population will grow very quickly.
Pigeons are scavengers so, if they’ve found a place that provides them with plenty of food, which is prevalent in urban areas, they will stay, nest and breed. There are a number of signs to look out for which indicate you are being overrun with pigeons:
• Plenty of pigeon activity flying in and out of a specific area, nesting and gathering on roofs and/or ledges.
• Activity on, around or underneath solar panels.
• Repetitive bird noises (cooing) and the cry of young chicks.
• Lots of nesting material lying around.
• Damage that has occurred by pecking or fouling.
• Pigeon droppings, particularly if they are concentrated in one area.
• An excess of feathers.
If you see any of these signs, time to call in our professional pigeon pest control team.
How do you control feral pigeons?
Our pigeon pest control team only use authorised methods to deal with feral pigeons, including bird free fire gel and netting anti-perch spikes.
As a prevention aid, our bird free fire gel uses food-grade natural oils to prevent pigeons, gulls and other birds from perching or nesting on buildings and structures. As well as being highly effective, it does not harm the birds at all. We also use Avishock systems for effective pigeon removal.
At all times, we are committed to protecting the birds in the manner environmental authorities stipulate, in a safe, humane way. However, due to the damage pigeons can do and the health-related risks associated with pigeon droppings, it is important that you always hire our professional pigeon control services. This is because not only do we adhere to the strict rules regarding bird control, but we will also safely remove the pigeons and ensure we implement the relevant methods to ensure they are not able to return.
