How to keep pigeons away

Increase in the number of pigeons:

One of the main signs that you are dealing with a pest is a considerable increase in the number of pigeons that roam your space, whether at home, in the garden or in a commercial establishment.

Pigeon noises:

There are some distinctive noises made by pigeons which, in the case of infestation, become more active, especially when there are several nests nearby.

Pigeon nests:

Pigeons have the habit of making nests in trees, using dry branches and other similar materials, but it is common to find nests on the roofs of houses or under gutters. Look for nest debris or droppings in your space to confirm that you have a pigeon infestation.

Remove food

Pigeons are attracted to food, so avoid feeding them or leaving leftover food outdoors. Make sure trash cans are closed tightly and clean up any food spills immediately.

Block access to landing areas

Pigeons like to perch on flat surfaces such as roofs, eaves and windows. Try blocking these areas with our stainless steel spikes which are specific to keep birds away.

Install protection networks

If pigeons cause problems in larger areas, such as balconies, terraces or patios, consider installing protective netting. These nets prevent birds from accessing the space, keeping them away.

Use natural repellents

There are some natural repellents that can help keep pigeons away. For example, pigeons don't like the smell of cloves, pepper, or peppermint and eucalyptus essential oils. Spread these substances on problem areas to deter them.

Comply with animal protection laws

When adopting these measures to keep pigeons away, it is essential to do so ethically and respect animal protection laws. Avoid causing unnecessary harm or suffering to birds. If necessary, consult a professional specialized in pest control for additional guidance tailored to your specific situation.
