4 simple steps to keep the messy birds at bay
This is how we keep the pesky birds at bay
The main idea behind our pigeon removal service is to make the roof of your building as uninviting for the pesky pigeons as possible.
After carefully inspecting the roof, the pest controller will install nets and spikes at strategic areas on your rooftop. This will prevent the birds from landing and nesting there. In addition, the technician can place cans filled with the so-called “fire” gel on certain areas of the roof. This is a special repellent designed to keep pesky animals at bay and it doesn't actually pose a fire threat at all.
What you can do to enjoy a more efficient bird control in London
While the expert has everything he needs to force the avians to relocate, there are a few things you can do to further discourage the winged troublemakers from coming near your property.
- Try to locate and destroy the current nesting areas of pigeons or seagulls;
- If you can’t remove the nests, seal them with caulk, glass, wood, or wire mesh;
- Free your garden from places that gather rainwater (tarp coverings, bird baths, etc.);
Important: avoid any contact with bird guano since it may carry bacterial and fungal infections!
