Feral pigeon problems and how to deal with them?

Feral pigeons (Columba livia) are a direct relative of the rock dove and for countless decades have been the blight of our towns and cities due to their disgusting habit of fouling our buildings, footways and structures.

This species are often referred to as “rats with wings” and if we look at the list of pathogens and diseases they carry it’s not difficult to see why! Chlamydophila psittaci & Campylobacter are just two such nasty zoonotic pathogens found in over half of all birds tested.

We offer a full range of proofing repairs to help keep feral pigeons at bay. Wire systems, spikes, netting procedures plus the new formulation of Bird Free Optical Gel which has proved very reliable when used as directed.

Preventing pigeons from perching or roosting on a certain structure starts by assessing whether the site is a light, medium or heavy pressure area. It is essential to install the right system capable of dealing with the prevailing level of activity. All installations cover the whole package including a mandatory clean-up of guano and other bird related waste. Call us now for further details.

We also conduct risk assessed nuisance bird clearances from warehouses, storage units, vehicle depots, underground car parks and shopping centres etc. Please call for details.

For those in the agricultural industry our newly acquired Agrilaser system is just the ticket for moving flocks of foraging birds from field crops.

How many times have we seen this? Members of the public feeding feral pigeons can now be slapped with an anti-social behaviour order (ASBO). If only they knew the misery and harm this pastime is causing others?. . Not to mention the huge cost of cleaning walkways, gutters, building structures and constant redecoration of buildings!

Case Study – Roof void of feral pigeons

Feral pigeons are really filthy creatures and this is what we found in the roof void of an old building in Hertfordshire where 30 plus birds had roosted for less than two years.

The job entailed culling all the birds, removing all the guano, nests and carcasses, clearing the old insulation, a thorough vacuum followed by sanitisation and then installation of the new loft insulation.
