Creative Measures to Pigeon Control:
The pigeons are found everywhere, as they thrive on seeds, grains, nuts and adapt easily to survive in almost all geographic habitats. Pigeons are well known for causing many problems to humans.
To get rid of the various problems caused by pigeons, necessary steps have to be taken for pigeon control. Using poisons, chemicals, traps, bird spikes, pigeon spikes and other such deadly measures can be effective in pigeon control, but they can kill the pigeons and other birds and thus, considered as unethical.
Many creative methods are available to get rid of pigeons. These methods are not lethal as others and they ensure safety to the birds.
- Window roofs, covers of air-conditioning units are some of the most vulnerable spots that pigeons find beneficial to nest. Instead of feeding the birds with food items mixed with poison that can be fatal, people can just block or seal these places, so that the birds do not return to the spot.
- Maintaining cleanliness at places where the pigeons tend to nest can be very helpful. Pigeons thrive on mess and a regular stripping of mess from the place would discourage pigeons.
- Pigeons usually land at places that charm them. There are certain chemicals that can be used to make the place look dull and would stop the birds from landing in.
- Various tactile repellents are readily available with pest control specialists and can be used to do away with the problems of pigeons. These repellents cause great discomfort to the birds when they land at places where repellents are active. The sticky tactile repellents sting the birds as soon as they settle on it.
- People can creatively make use of tight chicken loops to trap the birds for time being and release them later. The trap would discourage the pigeons to return to the same spot again.
- Some simple appliances like water sprinklers can be used to get rid of pest birds. Sprinklers with sensors would sprinkle water every time the pigeon passes by it and this would make the bird to seek shelter elsewhere.
- Some waste electronic appliances that would produce a minor shock can also be placed at places where the pigeons land often. The shock would make them avoid that place.
- Another very efficient way to get rid of the pigeons is to make the place where the bird often sits as hostile as possible by placing fake owls, fake snakes and other such predators.
The above-mentioned creative tips can be very useful for pigeon control.
