Our bird control methods
1. Visual repellents
Place thorns, wires or shiny objects on window sills, roofs and other surfaces where pigeons like to perch.
2. Sound repellents
Use devices that emit ultrasound or sounds of birds of prey to scare away pigeons.
3. Chemical repellents
Apply chemical repellents to surfaces where pigeons roost, but be sure to choose non-toxic and environmentally friendly products.
4. Nets and picks
Install nets and spikes to prevent pigeons from accessing sensitive areas.
5. Artificial nesting
Install artificial nests in strategic locations to divert pigeons from areas where they are not wanted.
Problems caused by pigeons
Material damage
Pigeon droppings can damage buildings, cars and monuments. The acids in their droppings can corrode surfaces and cause stains that are difficult to remove.
Health problems
Pigeons can transmit diseases to humans, including psittacosis, a respiratory disease. Their droppings can also contaminate food and water sources.
Noise pollution
The constant noise of pigeons can be very disturbing, especially in residential areas.
Rapid proliferation
Pigeons breed quickly and can form large colonies, which exacerbates the problems mentioned above.
