Fortunately, there are a number of ways to control pest pigeons around commercial buildings.
One of the most common and effective pigeon control devices is the bird spike. Ideal for rooftops, awnings, gutters, girders, roof peaks and ledges, the spikes keep pigeons from landing. The spikes are often made of stainless steel or rigid U.V.-resistant unbreakable polycarbonate. Harmless to birds, the spikes are usually positioned to cover an entire ledge, and to seal off corners and open sides to prevent clever birds from sneaking around them.
Particularly useful for awnings and patio covers, the bird spikes discourage birds from landing. Some spikes are made of rigid U.V.-resistant unbreakable polycarbonate. Others have flexible stainless steel spikes. They come in a variety of sizes, are easy to install and won’t harm birds. They are ideal for discouraging pest pigeons from landing on ledges, parapets, beams, pipes, chimneys, cutouts, and light fixtures. Be sure to install a sufficient amount of pigeon proof spikes to cover an entire ledge (otherwise pigeons will get in behind it). Also, be sure to close off corners and all open sides of a ledge.
Another highly effective pigeon control option is netting, which when correctly installed, creates a pigeon-proof barrier on rooftops, courtyards, signage platforms and other bird nesting areas. Some manufacturers offer U.V. stabilized, flame resistant, rot and waterproof netting.
Pest birds can be a health hazard, carrying and transmitting any of 60 known diseases. Sparrows and Feral Pigeons can carry bacteria causing Salmonellosis. Feral Pigeons carry Ornithosis, which is similar to viral pneumonia. Birds, bird droppings and their nesting materials contain insects and mites. These insects can damage property, stored foods and fabrics.
