How to Get Rid of Pigeons with Pigeon Control Products

Posted on May 15, 2016 by Alex Kecskes in Pigeon Control

Pigeons cause property owners a number of costly problems. They are messy, destructive, and their droppings can carry any of 60 known diseases, like Histoplasmosis and West Nile Virus. Getting rid of pigeons is not so easy, especially if the birds have already laid claim to your property by building nests in and around signage, rooftops, under solar panels, and every nook and cranny they can find. Here are a few suggestions from the bird control pros at Bird B Gone.

Be Proactive

The best way to get rid of pigeons is to implement professional-level bird control measures before the birds arrive. If you see one pigeon looking for food, water, or a place to roost and nest, there is a good chance others will soon follow. You should immediately install one or two of the following pest bird deterrents:

Bird Net 2000 Heavy Duty Netting

Bird Net 2000 Heavy Duty Netting is a rugged solution that blocks out pigeons and other birds. It’s ideal for excluding pigeons from overhangs and other semi-enclosed areas. The netting is easy to install using Bird B Gone’s complete line of professional-grade installation hardware. Made of a tough UV-stabilized polyethylene mesh, industrial-strength Bird Net 2000 is extremely durable, rot and waterproof, and flame resistant. The netting comes in several area sizes and colors (black, stone, or white) to blend in with its background. Bird Net 2000 is often specified in architectural plans and is backed by a 10-Year Guarantee.

Stainless Steel Bird Spikes

Stainless Steel Bird Spikes are ideal for keeping pigeons away from rooftops, parapet walls, light fixtures, and other flat or curved surfaces, and continue to be used by building owners worldwide. The spikes come in 1-, 3-, 5-, and 8-inch splay widths to provide increasingly wider areas of protection—up to 10 inches wide. These rugged spiked strips feature a patented “bend-and-crush” design, which means the spikes are firmly embedded in an unbreakable UV-protected polycarbonate base. This flexible base bends a full 360 degrees, so it can easily “follow” a variety of curved mounting surfaces.

Bird Jolt Flat Track Kit

The Bird Jolt Flat Track Kit is a low-profile, electric track system that produces a harmless electric shock to “educate” pigeons to stay off ledges, signage, parapet walls, and similar building surfaces. Lightweight and flexible, the track is easy to install—it bends 360° without compromising its electrical integrity. It’s the only electric track bird deterrent system with patented anti-arcing and glue troughs designs for improved safety and performance. Available in six colors.

Bird Wire

Bird Wire is a highly efficient pigeon deterrent, using a post-and-wire system to discourage pigeons from landing on ledges, rails, signs, rooftops, and many other curved or flat surfaces. The system uses a wire attached to springs, which are attached to posts, walls, or other fixed mounts. When pigeons land on the wire, the system causes them to wobble, zig, and zag, making them feel very insecure. This quickly prompts birds to move on to another, more secure landing zone.

Bird Spider 360

The Bird Spider 360 is a multi-legged “Daddy Long Legs” device that intimidates pigeons and prevents them from landing on AC units, lights, signs, and rooftops. Ruggedly designed for outdoor use, it features marine-grade stainless steel “arms” in four leg lengths to protect diameters up to 8 feet. A PVC base allows the Spider to be easily placed wherever pigeons gather most often.

Early Bird Deterrents

In addition to pigeon control products, there are a few steps you can take to rid your building of pigeons. These include keeping trash containers closed, eliminating water puddles (caused by rain or sprinklers), and discouraging visitors and employees from feeding them.
