Pigeon Pest Control & Proofing

Pigeons are a common sight across Brighton and Worthing…but they’re not as innocent as they look, especially when they’re nesting in your property. 

Pigeons can live in colonies of over 20, and they multiply fast: each pair of pigeons can produce up to 12 young birds per year. If those pigeons are nesting on your property, you could have serious problems. 

These birds scavenge for food, cause damage to vehicles and properties, and both carry and encourage parasites and other pests. If you spot pigeons nesting on your property, act fast before the problem grows. That’s where an accredited pigeon removal service like Pest Stop Boys comes in. 

• Noise: This can be more of a nuisance during mating and nesting seasons. Noise pollution will not only irritate you, but your neighbours, too.

• Rooftop nesting: Pigeon nests can be big – measuring up to 50cm wide and weighing up to 2kg. With this comes a real risk of damage to your property.

• Insect infestations: Feeding and nest building can attract parasites which can multiply quickly and spread disease.

• Health hazards: Pigeons can host various mites and parasites that spread disease – and their droppings can also be a health hazard.

• Building and vehicle damage: This can be caused by nesting activity, as well as by pigeon droppings.

• Increased costs: All of the above contributes to a very real risk of additional costs – whether cleaning costs, damage repair costs or parasite removal.

Our pigeon pest control solutions generally revolve around removing access to sources of food, removing access to the building, and placing deterrents. 

These solutions can include electric deterrents, bird-repellent gel or tape, posts and wires, netting and spiking. 

Every pigeon infestation is different, which is why we offer such a wide range of solutions. What works for one property may not work for another. What we will ensure, though, is that we use the right tool for your specific needs – using non-toxic or low toxicity methods where we can

We have a range of pigeon removal solutions at our fingertips, which we’ll discuss with you when we call. With every pigeon pest control job, we don’t just remove the existing pigeons – we’ll give you advice on how to stop them from coming back. 

Here are just a few of the things that you can do to keep pigeons away from your property – reducing the risk of mess and damage and saving you money in the long run. 

• Reduce nest building materials: Twigs, pine needles, roots and leaves are among the things that pigeons use to build their nests – remove as many of these from the area as possible. 

• Remember that they’re scavengers: Any food that is easily accessible is fair game – keep food under wraps. 

• Control your rubbish: Use lidded metal bins for rubbish, if possible – pigeons can peck through rubbish bags. 

• Be careful when feeding animals: Dropped food from bird feeders and rogue scraps of pet food can attract pigeons to your property.

Can you DIY pigeon control?

If you Google “DIY pigeon control” you’ll find all sorts of products that claim to get the job done: bird spikes, chemical solutions, bird tape, electronic repellents and more. In certain situations, these could be all you need to eliminate these pests from your property.

However, this isn’t always the case. If you can’t reach their access points safely, if you don’t remove food and nest-building materials, and if the pigeon colony expands too much, you might find yourself with a problem that’s spiralled out of control.

At times like these, an accredited pigeon control service like Pest Stop Boys is your best bet. Give us a call, and you’ll get a solution that’s tailored to your exact needs, using low or non-toxic products where we can to help keep those who use the property safe.
