Active Season
All year round, with peaks in spring and summer (March to July) during the breeding season.
Pigeons are flying vandals – their acidic droppings will eat through your paintwork, corrode your gutters, and turn your car into a Jackson Pollock masterpiece nobody wants.
These feathered squatters treat your roof like a luxury apartment complex, building messy nests that block your gutters and create the perfect breeding ground for mites and diseases.
Pigeons are predictable pests – they’ll roost in the same spots every day with military precision, making them sitting ducks for professional removal once you know their routines.
While often seen as a harmless part of urban life, large populations of pigeons can become significant pests. They can cause considerable damage to buildings and pose health risks through their droppings.
Common signs of a pigeon problem include excessive droppings on ledges, windowsills, vehicles, or outdoor furniture. You might also notice nesting material accumulating in sheltered areas, hear cooing noises, or see a large number of pigeons roosting on or around your property, particularly on roofs, ledges, or solar panels.
Pigeons are easily identifiable. The challenge lies in determining their roosting, nesting, and feeding habits around your property to implement effective long-term control.
Pigeon droppings are highly acidic and can cause significant structural damage to buildings, corroding stonework, metal, and paintwork. They can also block gutters and drainage systems. Pigeons are known carriers of various diseases (e.g., Psittacosis, Salmonella) and parasites (e.g., mites, fleas), which can be transmitted through their droppings or feathers, posing a health risk to humans. Their presence can also deter customers from businesses.
Homeowners might try scarecrows, reflective devices, or attempt to clean droppings. However, DIY methods are rarely effective for established pigeon populations, as pigeons are intelligent and quickly adapt to simple deterrents. The cost for DIY might seem low initially, but the outcome is almost always temporary, with pigeons returning shortly after.
Our approach to pigeon control focuses on humane and effective proofing strategies. An initial inspection will assess pigeon activity, identify key roosting and nesting sites, and evaluate the building structure. We then design a tailored proofing plan, which can include installing bird netting, spikes, or wire systems on ledges, roofs, and other vulnerable areas to prevent them from landing or nesting. We also offer professional cleaning services to safely remove accumulated droppings. Our solutions are designed to provide long-term, non-lethal control, maintaining the aesthetic and structural integrity of your property. All treatments comply with current legislation. The outcome is a pigeon-free environment and protection from associated damages and health risks. The cost is highly dependent on the size and complexity of the area to be proofed, but we offer free estimates and quotes.
