Help! I Have Pigeons
Pigeons are commonly found in urban areas, which mean that they can make their home in your business. This can include the interior of your building, the roof, or signs on the building. Pigeons can live off of scraps of food that is dropped by people, as well as seeds and fruits.
Pigeons are often found in large flocks, and are recognized by their grey color, as well as their pink feet and the black bars that are located on their wings.
If you have discovered pigeons roosting in your area, make sure that you try to get rid of them as soon as possible. Pigeons may deface your building with the uric acid located in their droppings. Not only is this unsightly, but it can cause costly damage to repair. This is especially true if you have pigeons that are perched above vehicles, statues, concrete, and so on. The pigeon droppings are able to corrode paint and other hard surfaces.
Contacting a professional service may be your best solution to your pigeon issues. If you prefer to try to solve the problem yourself, you may want to install needle strips on your store signs. These strips are usually clear and flexible. This makes it more difficult to see from the ground. The strips are easily mounted in most places, and can be hidden behind signs, ledges, and so forth.
You can quickly install these strips with glue adhesive. You are also able to use a chemical substance that makes the surface sticky. This causes the landing area to be uncomfortable for pigeons and they may search elsewhere to roost. These are often referred to as tactile repellents and can be found as most home improvement stores. If you are opting to use chemicals, you want to make sure that it is out of reach from customers and other animals.
The most commonly dealt with bird problem in the US is that of pigeons roosting on buildings. Feral pigeons tend to live in urban areas, and they prefer to roost on and in buildings, where they leave nesting material, feathers, parasites, and
worst of all, their unsanitary and corrosive droppings. The only way to
permanently solve such problems is to install bird exclusion materials, such as bird spikes or netting. Bird trapping is also an option, but it's usually a poor and temporary
fix. In addition to pigeons, other birds can cause problems in certain other situations: woodpeckers damaging houses, sparrows stuck inside retail spaces, Chimney Swifts nesting inside chimneys, etc.
