Pigeons can be a very difficult pest for most people to deal with. Due to the fact that they can fly away if scared, makes them difficult to manage.

Many a home remedy has been tried to control these flighty pests, but they are rarely successful.

The reason most pigeon treatments fail is that pigeons are not the smartest bird. If fact, quite often if a pigeon is killed its buddies will sit alongside, as though nothing had happened.

While fake owls and hawks may have some initial success at managing pigeon problems, they soon perceive them not to be a threat.

It’s funny when Jim’s Pest Control technicians spot plastic owls being surrounded by pigeons. It is almost as though the pigeons have adopted them into the flock for protection.

Many products and options available

Dealing with pigeons can sometimes require thinking outside of the box. There are many different products available on the market today that can be applied in several ways.

Pigeon control products are becoming more advanced. We have new gel products that can be applied to a place where a pigeon roosts.

To a pigeon this product appears to be on fire. Birds are naturally afraid of fire and will avoid this area at all cost. However this product will not work in a high pressure situation.

Bird spikes and netting are other good options in regards to pigeon control. The building will first need to be assessed to work out the most effective form of control.

With so many products being available it can be confusing as to what options is best for your situation.

This is why so many Adelaide people would rather get advice and a free quote from Jim’s.

Terminating pigeons maybe the only option

More often than not to successfully control pigeons they will need to be terminated. The reason for this is that they were born on the home or building. Even if their nesting area is proofed off they will often sit alongside the proofed area.

This can often cause even more problems for the property owner. Blocked drains, bird poo on solar panels will often impact clients.

In these situations if is often necessary to remove the pigeons by means of termination. Each Adelaide Jim’s Pest Control technician can discuss the options available to you.

Pigeon Exterminator FAQs

Why are pigeons difficult to control?

Pigeons are adaptable birds that thrive in urban areas. They nest on ledges, roofs, and under solar panels, often ignoring scare devices. Their ability to breed quickly and their tolerance of human presence make them particularly challenging. Without professional control, infestations grow rapidly, creating damage, health risks, and long-term problems that become expensive to fix.

What health risks do pigeons pose?

Pigeons spread diseases through droppings, feathers, and nesting debris. Their waste contains harmful fungi and bacteria, which may contaminate food areas. Droppings also create slippery surfaces, increasing accident risks. Large infestations can worsen asthma or other respiratory conditions. Professional pigeon control reduces these risks by ensuring nests are removed and areas properly sanitised.

Do deterrents like fake owls work long-term?

Deterrents such as fake owls, reflective devices, or sound units may work briefly, but pigeons usually adapt quickly. Long-term control requires exclusion methods like netting, spikes, or proofing entry points. These measures physically block pigeons from landing or nesting. Professional installation ensures deterrents remain effective and provide permanent protection against future infestations.

Is shooting pigeons a control option?

In some cases, licensed professionals may use shooting as a pigeon control method. It is carried out only when other measures fail or where large numbers must be reduced. Strict safety protocols and regulations apply. This method is performed discreetly, ensuring minimal disruption, and always forms part of a broader, humane control program.

How do professionals prevent pigeons returning?

After removal, professionals install proofing solutions to stop pigeons from nesting again. Spikes, wires, or netting are positioned where pigeons usually roost. Food sources are also addressed, as open rubbish and water attract birds. Combined with thorough cleaning of droppings and nesting sites, these measures ensure pigeons are discouraged from returning permanently.

When should I seek pigeon control help?

You should act as soon as pigeons start nesting on your property. Early signs include constant cooing, visible droppings, or feathers in gutters. Ignoring these problems allows infestations to grow. Calling professionals quickly ensures safe removal, thorough cleaning, and permanent proofing. Early intervention avoids costly structural damage and reduces ongoing health hazards.
