Feral pigeons are master opportunists at finding safe nesting sites and readily available food sources. What can be initially home to a couple of birds can soon become a resting ground for what can seem like an army of nuisances. If you have been worrying how to get rid of pigeons from your property, contact Able Group today for advice on how our bird control services can help you today.
Firstly, it is important to identify the type of bird that is infesting your home. This is important as some birds are protected by law. Sparrows, starlings or pigeons are not protected by law and are generally the most common birds found in the UK. Our pest experts have a wealth of knowledge to draw upon and can identify your problem and walk you through the next steps in solving your infestation.
Once the bird has been identified we can check for nests outside your property in trees, in gaps in your roof or even in your eaves. Birds often inhabit a home to build their nests and lay eggs. Once you have identified a bird's nest, you can confirm a bird infestation. It must be noted that should there be eggs in the nest or live young, we cannot treat the problem.
While there are some things you can't change, birds will often be attracted to a home if it has an accessible water and food source. If you have a bird bath or bird feed outside, removing them may make it more difficult for birds to make a home in your garden. This is one of the first steps you can take to get a bird out of the house or to keep pigeons away.
