Pigeon Control

Killer Instinct Pest Control specialise in Pigeon and Gull control

Pigeons are the marmite of the bird world, but love them or loathe them, they can be destructive to your property and are known to be hosts to parasitic pests such as bird mites, ticks & fleas, which can be spread to other birds, our pets and even people. These insects live on the birds in their nests and in their droppings but when the infested hosts leave the roost or nest these parasites will invade buildings in search of a host or possible food supply. Coupled with this, pigeon droppings deface and accelerate the deterioration of buildings through being corrosive, and increase the cost of maintenance.  Large amounts of droppings may kill vegetation and will produce an objectionable odour.  A single pigeon can produce up to 25 pounds of guano, annually! Pigeons can carry a number of diseases which include Cryptococcal Meningitis, Salmonella & Listeria, Viral Encephalitis and E. Coli, making them much more than just an aesthetic problem, so don’t delay in eradicating them from your property or business!

One of the most successful long term measures for controlling these nuisance birds is to remove their roosting areas, however in busy urban areas such a town centres, this is not always practical.

Your property may be providing an ideal habitat for them to thrive as these birds will use all areas for example:

• Balconies & Flat Roofing
• Ledges & Guttering
• Roof or loft spaces – a particular favorite as pigeons are capable of lifting damaged or loose roof coverings to force entry inside.

Any gap in the building that is greater than 25mm in diameter should be considered a potential entry point for pest birds. If you have already noticed some roosting on your property, there is a risk they will attract others. Pigeons prefer to live in flocks of anywhere between 50 and 500 so a small problem has the potential to turn into a much larger one very quickly.
