Pigeon removal and bird control services London

What is the most common method of bird control?

Pigeon proofing with bird netting

The most widely used method of bird control in London is pigeon netting. Using durable plastic twine, bird netting creates an impenetrable barrier for pigeons. It can be installed on a variety of surfaces, including building fascias. We have extensive experience fitting bird and pigeon netting on residential and commercial properties in London.

Pigeon proofing with bird spikes

Pigeon spikes may be a good solution when pigeons are persistently perching on roofs and guttering. A polycarbonate base supports these heavy-duty metal prongs, making them able to be installed on rooftops, windowsills, gutters, and ledges. Spikes are very uncomfortable to perch on, but they're designed to deter pigeons rather than harm them.

Ways to keep pigeons and other birds away

• Do not feed pigeons. If you have any fruit-bearing trees or shrubs around your property, collect the fruit from them as soon as possible;
• Seal off potential nesting spots before pigeons settle in. Ensure that any openings big enough for pigeons can be sealed completely or covered with wire mesh;
• Don't allow rainwater to accumulate, otherwise, pigeons and other urban birds will be attracted to it;

Important: avoid any contact with bird guano since it may carry bacterial and fungal infections!
