Habitat modification
- Install bird deterrents such as Bird Spikes or Bird Netting to block pigeons from getting back to the area they have chosen to roost, perch or nest. If you make affected areas inaccessible, the birds will be forced to move on to a new location.
- Physical bird deterrents like Bird Spikes are effective on ledges, beams, signs, window sills, roof lines, eaves, and other areas pigeons have decided to land.
- If there is an open food source such as seeds from a songbird feeder, open trash cans or pet food around, covering or removing these food sources will send the birds looking elsewhere for their next meal.
- Birds have a heightened sense of their environment. If you appeal to their senses such as sight and sound, you can effectively scare birds away from your property using products like the Bird Chase Sonic or Reflective Bird Diverters.
