Bird Removal

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.

In most cases, there is no need to leave your property during pigeon control treatments. Birch fumigators take appropriate precautions to ensure your safety and minimize disruption. However, they may advise temporary evacuation of certain areas or provide specific instructions based on the treatments being implemented.

Birch Fumigators experienced in pigeon control can assess the extent of the infestation, safely remove pigeons and nests, implement exclusion measures to prevent their return, and install deterrents to discourage roosting and nesting. They can also provide sanitation services to clean up droppings and debris, as well as offer ongoing monitoring and maintenance for effective long-term control.

To discourage pigeons from roosting or nesting, it’s important to remove food sources, secure garbage containers, install bird deterrents like spikes or wire mesh on ledges and roofs, and seal off any access points to potential nesting sites. Maintaining cleanliness and promptly addressing any potential attractants can also help deter pigeons.

Pigeon infestations pose several risks. Pigeon droppings can contain harmful bacteria, fungi, and parasites that can lead to respiratory issues and diseases. The corrosive nature of their droppings can also cause damage to structures over time. Accumulated droppings can create slippery surfaces, increasing the risk of slip and fall accidents. Additionally, pigeons can attract other pests, such as mites and ticks, leading to additional infestations and health concerns.

Pigeons are attracted to urban areas due to the availability of food sources, sheltered roosting spots, and nesting opportunities. Common attractions include open garbage containers, outdoor dining areas, building ledges, and accessible roof spaces. Additionally, pigeons are highly adaptable and can breed rapidly, leading to larger populations if not addressed.
