We’ll take care of your bird problems and tidy up the discarded area.

Protect your household or business from upcoming medical issues. A few pigeon diseases are Ornithosis, Listeria, and E. Coli.

Any area where there are bird droppings could be toxic and dangerous for your health.

First things first: get rid of the birds. Then, proof the property, remove the dangerous pigeon droppings, and safeguard the area.

How much does pigeon control cost?

Repair costs for pigeon-related property damage might reach the hundreds or even thousands of pounds. The price to have birds removed from your house might range from £70 to £250 for some residential properties.

However, the following factors will cause the cost of bird-proofing your property to rise significantly:

• The pigeons roosting flock size
• Size of property to protect
• Any health and safety concerns
• Size of bird population to remove and area to sterilise.

Methods of Bird Deterrence for Efficient Pest Management

Control of Urban Pigeons Our top techniques at Apex Pest Control are:

• Sanitation
• Removal of food sources
• Pigeon proofing buildings

In certain places, ongoing pest treatment is necessary to get rid of the birds. Some examples of these could be that there is a problem that is outside of your control or that the birds are feeding on a nearby area.

In these cases, pigeon-proofing the building means making it act as a deterrent to the birds.

Pigeons. The long-term residents of cities and metropolitan areas in the UK. Some people find your property charming, while others find it annoying, especially if they decide to move in.

From the droppings that cover your façade to their cooing, pigeons may be somewhat unwelcome guests.

Pigeon droppings, or guano, are not just unsightly.

They might serve as safe havens for Salmonella infections. Pigeon droppings in particular, as well as other bird droppings, can cause headaches. For business owners, a bird infestation can negatively impact their company’s reputation, especially in crowded shopping centres.

The Finest Pigeon Control: How We Can Address Your Bird Problem

Bird Proofing: Depending on how serious the issue is—from low pressure to high pressure systems—we have a variety of alternatives for pigeon deterrents and bird proofing to fit every need. These include:

• Low-pressure post and spring wire systems
• Stainless steel spikes
• Electrical bird deterrent systems.
• Bird Netting
• Trapping
• Shooting

Bird proofing

Bird proofing in large areas by fixing bird netting to the roof tiles front of the building, which is tensioned. The mesh may come in different colours to suit the building materials. Zips may be placed in the netting if required to allow access for maintenance.

Shooting

The first control method makes use of barrier items, such as netting or spikes. Pest controllers must, however, possess a valid shooting licence.

Most shooting of pest birds takes place in factories or other buildings where pigeons are roosting and making their nests, including girders, ledges, or windowsills.

Any shooting happens after dusk, when the pigeons are roosting and reluctant to leave the structure. Every shot must minimise suffering and follow a moral code of conduct.

Ingress into the building needs to be proofed in order to stop additional bird infestations in a cleared area.

Trapping

Usually, pigeons are trapped on building tops or in areas where they regularly feed. All food sources must be eliminated from areas that have been designated.

The cage traps are then set down and baited for a few days with their doors left open.

Once pigeons have been habituated to entering the traps for feeding, the doors are changed such that they can still enter the traps but cannot leave via the opening.

Food and drink must be placed inside the trap. Every twelve to twenty-four hours, multiple trips to the traps are required in order to liberate the pigeons that are imprisoned.

After a few days of continuous trapping, there can be a break at which time the traps are not set until the next round of trapping begins. On problem regions, a 12-month contract might be required to keep nuisance pigeons under control.

Birds that are not targets and are captured in the traps are released unharmed. Pigeons can be caught in big quantities using this method.

The Importance of Pigeon Control

Avoiding pigeons is more than just an aesthetic choice for Instagram. Any UK property must have a pigeon control system because they pose a health concern and cause damage. It’s essential to install bird deterrents and clean them on a regular basis to avoid feral pigeons.

Take Control of Your Bin Lids!

Lock the lids on your bins and make sure there’s nothing to attract these obnoxious birds with food. Common pigeons and other birds may even feel free to eat anything that is in sight. You see, they are not picky eaters.

A feral pigeon’s diet usually consists of seeds, fruits, plants, food scraps, and sometimes tiny insects.

The Health Risks Waiting in the Shadows

Salmonellosis and avian influenza are among the illnesses that pigeons are well known for carrying. It is better to be cautious than sorry! However, some bird mites may also travel with pigeons. These mites could bite people and cause more problems.

The Perils of Pigeon Guano

Pigeon droppings are acid-laden—quite the superpower if they were superheroes, but unfortunately, they’re not. Moreover, their droppings can contribute to the breeding of insect infestations. Yikes!

Physical Obstacles to Avoid Perching and Roosting

While they may not be causing a stir in the fashion world, bird spikes work wonders at keeping pigeons at bay.

Pigeon spikes, sometimes known as bird-control spikes, are quite useful. Make sure the spike installations are completed correctly.

It’s Your Call: Plastic or Steel! The British Bulldog of pigeon control: steel spikes. Plastic spikes: Not too horrible, and easier on the pocketbook. However, keep in mind that pigeons belong to a variety of bird species. Thus, notice other birds as well if you are attempting to get rid of pigeons.

With Bird Netting, There’s a Net Gain

Netting is similar to that courteous bouncer who keeps the birds from barging into your party. Additionally, it is a highly advised method of birdproofing.

Essentials of Netting Either polypropylene or polyethylene are winners in their own right. The best option is UV-stabilised netting because you don’t want the British weather to erode it. Furthermore, UV-stabilised netting typically lasts longer.

Give Pigeons the Slip on Bird Slopes! Imagine the hills as a well-oiled cricket pitch. The pigeons are unable to gain any momentum! Although this approach to bird management can be very risky, it works well to keep birds from settling in comfortable places.

Employing Sound Deterrents

The James Bonds of pigeon control are ultrasonic devices. To us, everything seemed quiet, but to the pigeon, it was quite noisy. Another clever little tool in your toolbox is a bird-repellent gel. However, have in mind, old sport, before obtaining these, confirm the local wildlife legislation.

Applying Visual Distractions

The Decoy Trick for pigeon roosting.

Pigeons can be quite the scarecrow when it comes to decoys of predatory birds like falcons. As an additional bird of prey pest control strategy, hawking kites and other raptors can be used.

Glistening Antics The number one adversary of pigeons is reflective surfaces. Pigeons are blinded by bright objects, be it CDs or slick tape. Giving these aerial intruders a taste of their own medicine is another advantage you possess.

The Legal Acts Concerning Pest Birds

The Wildlife and Countryside Act of 1981 must be recalled. Being a common species in Britain, pigeons require knowledge of the dos and don’t when it comes to pigeon control.

Make certain you include health and safety as well. When handling bird droppings, it makes sense to use personal protective equipment.
