How do I permanently get rid of pigeons?

Protecting your garden or crops from pigeons can be achieved through various methods. Installing bird netting around the garden area creates a physical barrier that prevents pigeons from accessing the plants and crops. Scare devices such as reflective tape or decoy predators can also be effective in deterring pigeons. Regularly removing fallen fruits, seeds, or other food sources from the ground reduces the attractiveness of the area to pigeons. Implementing these preventive measures can help safeguard your garden or crops from potential damage caused by pigeons.

Food establishments can be attractive to pigeons due to the abundance of food sources available. Pigeons are opportunistic feeders and can be drawn to outdoor dining areas, garbage containers with accessible food scraps, and improperly stored or exposed food items. To deter pigeons, it is essential to properly manage and dispose of food waste, ensure that garbage containers are securely closed and clean, and consider implementing physical barriers or deterrents that prevent pigeons from accessing outdoor dining areas. Implementing these measures can help reduce the attractiveness of food establishments to pigeons and minimize the risk of infestations.

To prevent pigeons from nesting on your balcony or patio, you can employ several effective strategies. Installing physical barriers such as bird netting or wire mesh around the affected areas can create an obstacle that prevents pigeons from accessing nesting spots. Placing visual deterrents like scare devices or reflective surfaces can also make the area less attractive to pigeons. Additionally, maintaining cleanliness by regularly removing food sources, nesting materials, and droppings can discourage pigeons from settling in these areas. Providing alternative nesting sites such as birdhouses away from your property can redirect pigeons’ attention and offer them suitable alternatives.

To prevent pigeons from returning, it’s important to continue implementing deterrents and maintenance practices recommended by professional fumigators. This may include regular inspections, cleaning up any potential attractants, and promptly addressing any new signs of pigeon activity. Ongoing vigilance and regular maintenance will help ensure long-term success in preventing pigeon reinfestation.

It is not recommended to remove pigeons and their nests yourself. Pigeons can carry diseases, and their nests may contain parasites. Removing nests without proper knowledge and protective gear can be hazardous. Birch fumigators have the expertise and equipment to safely handle the removal of pigeons and their nests, ensuring the proper protocols are followed.

The time required to effectively control a pigeon infestation can vary depending on the extent of the problem. A professional fumigator will assess the situation, develop a tailored plan, and provide an estimated timeline for the control process. Factors such as the size of the property and the level of infestation will influence the duration of the treatment.
