Frequently Asked Questions
How can pigeons affect my property?
The feral pigeon is the most popular bird pest in the UK and should not be taken lightly. Their acidic and foul-smelling droppings can result in serious damage to buildings, while their feathers can block the gutters and cause water damage. They have even been noted to lift loose roof tiles and coverings in order to find shelter, exposing the roof to the mercy of the elements.
Are pigeon faeces harmful to humans?
The numerous pathogens that are packed within pigeon guano can be very easily transmitted via direct contact or inhaled through a building’s ventilation system. In addition, pigeon excrement has been linked with many fungal infections, such as cryptococcosis and histoplasmosis. These birds are also very likely to carry salmonella, tuberculosis, and ornithosis.
How do I keep pigeons away from my house?
To give the birds a hint that they should leave your property, find and destroy their nests as many times as needed until they give up and relocate somewhere else. If you have a bird bath in your garden or any areas that accumulate rainwater, you should make sure to remove those as soon as possible. Other ways of deterring pigeons include placing rows of spikes on ledges and window sills or sealing the nesting areas with some caulk, glass, wood, or wire mesh.
Why should I clean the birds’ excrements?
There are many reasons why you should remove pigeon droppings. The most obvious one is, of course, to eliminate unpleasant smells. If you have previously suffered from a pre-existing respiratory condition, the large amounts of dried bird faeces can also cause significant health problems. Lastly, the smells are likely to attract quite a variety of insects to your property.
