The pigeons that plague our cities today are a subspecies of the rock dove, which nests on seaside cliffs. Feral pigeons found in urban environments have instead adapted to nest on tall buildings and solar panels. Pigeon nests are commonly found on window ledges, on rafters and inside of attics.

A small flock of pigeons roosting on your building may not be a problem but if the pigeon control grows too large, your property will soon be caked in feces. Pigeon droppings are corrosive and can cause major property damage as well as being a health hazard. Pigeons also have a tendency to nest in inconvenient places, such as air conditioning units, gutters, and solar panels, which can be blocked up by their nesting materials and cease to function as intended.

It can be difficult to dissuade pigeons from nesting on your building but there are several measures which you can take to exclude them. The most common method, which you’ve probably seen in downtown Las Vegas, is to place bird spikes along window ledges to deter pigeons from landing there. While this method is somewhat effective, pigeons may actually adapt over time to use the spikes as a foundation for their nests. A more effective method is to use optical gel, which is designed to cast a light that pigeons mistake for fire, as well as giving off a scent which repels them. Bird netting also helps with getting rid of pigeon problems in your area. You can get progressive pest control company to come out to do their pigeon control services. Other audio-visual devices exist which use a combination of light and sound to frighten away flocks of pigeons.
