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.
