Pigeons
Pigeons Control Services
Pigeons can cause significant problems when they nest on ledges, rooftops, or other urban structures. Over generations, their adaptability has allowed them to thrive in cities, posing a risk to public health.
The primary issue is bird droppings, which can be costly and time-consuming to clean. Preventative measures such as netting, spikes, and audible deterrents can help stop pigeons from nesting and reduce the risk of contamination.
The Life Cycle of Pigeons
- Nesting: Pigeons prefer secluded, sheltered locations, including lofts, abandoned buildings, and church towers.
- Reproduction: Female pigeons reach sexual maturity at 7 months and lay 1–3 eggs about 14 days after mating.
- Growth: Hatchlings rely on their parents for food and leave the nest after 35 days.
- Population: Multiple groups may nest in the same area, worsening infestation issues.
What to Look For
Signs of a pigeon infestation include:
- Nests: Often in lofts, car parks, commercial premises, ledges, or roof overhangs.
- Sightings: Pigeons entering and exiting nesting areas throughout the day.
- Droppings: White droppings clustered near perching and nesting locations.
The QuicKil Procedure
Our professional technicians follow a structured and effective process to eradicate pigeons completely.
Survey & Assessment
We inspect pigeon-infested areas to assess the scale of the problem and determine the most effective prevention strategy.
1
Prevention and Control
We install netting, spikes, and wires to block nesting and perching areas. In extreme cases, falconry or controlled culling may be used. All methods are humane and non-harmful where possible.
2
Cleaning and Follow-Up
After the infestation is controlled, we perform specialised cleaning and sanitisation to remove droppings and eliminate associated disease risks.
