days They are whitish grey in colour, have wispy yellow hair (unformed feathers) and blend in very well with their surroundings so they are easy to miss, particularly when found in roof voids and other dark and little used areas of a building. So take care when inspecting the roof void and make sure that you undertake a detailed inspection of every area to ensure that you have identified all the nests, assuming that there are nests.

If you don’t or can’t handle the burden, you can always get in touch with bird control professionals like Fantastic Bird Control. Pigeons can cause problems in and around properties for years. In the town of Solihull, West Midlands, a large Council-owned Victorian building in the town centre was pigeon-proofed with an extensive post and wire pigeon wire system before the system is placed under tension. Curing can take a considerable time, particularly when installed in low temperatures. In Although many of the DIY devices for excluding pigeons, as with conventional products, can be used in the same way on any type of property, there are instances when you may need to provide a different DIY solution dependent on your property type. To an extent, the location of your building is also an issue, but less so than property type. Period properties, in the Victorian/Edwardian styles, can offer extensive perching and roosting opportunities for pigeons due, in the main, to their architectural features. Decorative features on the exterior of period properties as well as multiple roof lines, degradable soffits (made from timber) and wide windowsills all offer the pigeon optimum perching or roosting opportunities. Modern properties tend to have fewer external features that are attractive to pigeons and therefore problems tend to be less common.

BIRD CONTROL SALES AND INSTALLATION

Most types of exposed pipework can be protected by using DIY pigeon deterrents, but as with the installation of any type of deterrent, either DIY or commercially available, be aware that the excluded pigeons may move to another, more sensitive area of the property. So be aware of the implications of protecting your pipework before you start work and consider reading through the remainder of this section for advice on further DIY options should pigeons move to another area of your property once excluded. Spikes are an excellent strategy to keep pigeons off perching areas - narrow surfaces where pigeons like to perch and observe what is going on down below. Take, for example, a narrow rail on a balcony. A spike strip could represent the perfect inexpensive DIY solution to keep pigeons off the rail and your balcony clean. a serious threat to human life but the damage done to the building was serious and expensive to repair. The system also failed to resolve many of the perching-related Post and wire pigeon wire systems can be installed onto wood, masonry, metal and glass surfaces and in each case a different installation is required: Masonry: On a typical solar panel, use three solar panel pigeon proofing clips on each long edge of the wire mesh and two clips on each short edge.

Many churches and other buildings with similar architectural features are now being converted to residential and commercial usage and, as a result, residents and tenants are having to find ways of controlling pigeon populations that have historically used this building type for the purpose of overnight roosting and breeding. Churches and pre 20th-century buildings are commonly used by pigeons due to the extensive roosting and breeding opportunities afforded them by the complex architectural features. Not only this, but churchyards are regularly used by people wishing to feed pigeons and therefore it is not only possible to experience entrenched overnight roosting problems but also daytime perching issues where the birds are exploiting a food source. Accessing areas at height can be dangerous and not always possible without the use of specialist equipment and therefore we would only recommend the use of a ladder on a conventional two-storey house and only once a health and safety risk assessment has been undertaken. Where accessing and carrying out work to a soffit we would strongly recommend that a suitable platform, such as a scaffold tower or static scaffold, be used. posts supporting the system would normally be installed into the surface to be protected by drilling. On surfaces such as lead flashing or However, it’s pretty effective and won’t harm any pigeons so you can feel good about using it. 9. Pigeon Traps Pigeon proofing with a thin wire over the perch, which prevents the bird from landing is probably the simplest method. The wire should be low enough that the bird cannot stand under it, but also high enough to prevent the bird from straddling it (Johnson 2002). If a variety of birdMany modern properties will be fitted with windows that open inward/outward and which are constructed from either UPVC, alloy or wood. Assuming that the gap between the base of the window (when open) and the sill is greater than 3” then the provision of wires spanning the sill from one side to another, as described for sash windows, will be the most effective DIY option (link to ‘sash windows’). If, however, the clearance between the base of the window when open and the sill is less than 3” then another option will need to be considered. Bird wire acts as an effective solution for preventing birds like seagulls, crows, and pigeons from landing and causing a nuisance. You will tend to find bird wire being used on the edge of rooftops, window sills, parapets, beams, pipes, balustrades, and they are frequently used to protect historic buildings and stately homes. Post & Wire SystemThe Department of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) is the UK’s Government body that oversees the Wildlife and Countryside Act

In both cases the mesh should be cut to size so that the arch-shaped piece of mesh can be adhered to the flat fascia of the window frame.If the window is particularly large it may not be possible to cut the mesh panel from one single roll of mesh and therefore two separate pieces will need to be cut and joined in the centre. This can be done either with several small electrical cable ties or, ideally, with ‘C’ clips for a neater job. Pigeons, and most other birds, prefer a solid place to land. A bird coil makes traditional perching places unstable so pigeons aren’t interested in landing on them. Spacing between the final row and the wall (or the rear edge of surface to be protected) – no more than 26mm Another area of your rainwater goods that may need to be protected from pigeons is the ‘hopper’, a V-shaped plastic or cast-iron funnel that connects your horizontal gutter to the vertical downpipe. Pigeons will use hoppers for both roosting and for nesting. It is common to find a pigeon nest built inside a hopper, particularly on period properties that have large cast-iron hoppers. Pigeons that use these areas for roosting do so only because they are protected from the elements under the overhang of the roof of the dormer window and therefore by protecting this localized area pigeons will no longer have protection when roosting and will disperse. Pigeons will rarely if ever perch on the exposed tiles of a roof where they are vulnerable to extreme weather conditions as well as predation.You also want to choose one that is sturdy and will stay in place if it’s windy or rainy outside. 2. Bird Spikes The wire is easy to install and won’t hinder the look of your building since it’s so thin and hard to see. Once the screw hooks have been installed a small spring should be hooked onto each one. The fishing line or steel wire should then be attached to the other end of each spring and pulled as tight as possible without stretching the springs. Each span of wire or line should be able to take the full weight of a pigeon landing in the centre of the span without the wire or line touching the sill, therefore tension is critically important. If, once provided, the wire does ground on the sill when a bird lands upon it, it will then be necessary to raise the height of the screw hook or to further tension the line or wire. It is extremely important to remember, however, that if the line or wire is too high pigeons will simply walk underneath it. Many commercially available systems fail to be effective for this very reason. As there are so many different window types, most of which require different products or solutions, we will discuss each window type separately. Alternatively, if you choose to make an access point in one of the mesh walls then you will need to cut a hole out of one of the mesh panels that is large enough to push the food through onto the table. You will then need to cut another piece of mesh, approximately 1.0” larger than the hole you have made and then hinge it (by using electrical cable ties) over the hole. You have now made a door that can be opened and closed when filling the table with food and that is hinged via the electrical cable ties. To keep the door shut simply use two clothes pegs hooked over the base of the door and the mesh panel itself.
