The Pest Control Service can offer advice and corrective solutions when dealing with pigeon problems.
Some of the control methods we offer are:
Netting (balconies, roof voids, air conditioning units and open access areas)
Spiking (pipes, canopies and ledges)
Trapping (with live traps)
Discreet culling programs (inside buildings, car parks only)
Call us on 023 8083 2531 if you have any issues with pigeons
Reasons for control
Pigeons can carry disease such as salmonellosis, ornithosis etc.
Droppings are corrosive to masonry and paintwork can cause structural damage to buildings and vehicles over time
Nesting materials can block guttering and down pipes causing water damage to property
Air conditioning/ventilation systems supplies and equipment can become contaminated by guano (pigeon faeces)
Reduce the risk of slips and trips on walkways and human contact with guano
