Pigeon Control For Your Property
Pigeon control is becoming an increasingly important, and urgent, subject. Pigeon numbers are on the rise, and they are one of the most common pests found in the United Kingdom and across Europe today. They are a blight to our towns and cities, and can be aggressive in their pursuit of food. It's not just urban centres that are suffering, pigeons are also having a damaging impact on homes and on public and commercial buildings. When you need high quality, cost-effective bird control solutions, call Europest. We're dedicated to creating peaceful and pest-free environments.
Why Pigeons Are Pests As a child did you feed pigeons in Trafalgar Square? It was a common tourist activity, yet those days have gone. A huge rise in the pigeon population, coupled with a better understanding of the health problems they can spread, has meant that pigeon control has become a main priority in London and nationwide. There are many reasons why pigeons are major pests. Pigeon lime is very unsightly and can damage the appearance of beautiful buildings. Their droppings often harbour bacterial infestations, and these can cause very serious complaints in humans, including E Coli and
Salmonella. In some cases, these can prove deadly. Pigeons can also be surprisingly aggressive, particularly when gathered in large numbers and during their hatching season that runs from March to September.
The Signs Of Pigeon Infestation How do you know when pigeon control is required? You'll certainly notice a lot of pigeon lime, or droppings, accumulating around your property. Your drains or flues may become clogged. This can be a sign that pigeons, or other birds, have been depositing nesting materials there. This in itself can cause environmental problems, and contribute to the structural damage that pigeon infestation can bring. There may be signs of pecking damage to your property. When pigeons gather in large numbers, they can have a significant impact on wood, plastic and even stone substrates. Another sign that pigeon control is needed is the noise pollution from the birds. If your property has been chosen as a pigeon nesting site, the noise can become intolerable.
Why Professional Pigeon Control Is Essential If you're tempted to try to remove pigeons yourself, there are two important things to consider. The first is the health and safety implication. You'll be working at heights, and may be targeted by aggressive pigeons, as well as being in an environment that could have significant bacterial contamination. It's also important to note that it is illegal to use any kind of pesticide on birds in the United Kingdom. If you use these methods to remove pigeons, you can find yourself facing a costly prosecution. Our experienced team use tried and tested pigeon control methods that are both legal and highly effective.
