When Pigeons Removal May Be Necessary

  • Obviously, if you have a visible problem with pigeons nesting or making a mess. An occasional pigeon visiting your premises does not mean you have an issue but seeing even a couple on a regular basis could soon become a problem if they nest nearby.
  • You may not notice them nesting but if you hear persistent cooing coming from your roof or attic you may have a nesting pair in residence.
  • You may have pigeon problems if you have solar panels as pigeons are adapting to nest under them.
  • If you are a London based food business with outdoor dining bird proofing may be something you would like to consider.

Pigeon Facts

The Feral or Street pigeon is descended from domestic pigeons that have returned to the wild. Originally bred from the wild rock dove, which inhabits sea cliffs and mountains, the domestic and feral pigeon will substitute ledges and gutters in urban environments for its natural habitat.

The pigeon varies in colour, with some even white, but most are varying shades of grey with some black barring on wing feathers and some green to purple colouring around the neck and chest.

Pigeons are normally around 30 cm in length and can weigh around 400g.

Their nests are normally a mess of twigs and straw. They will often build in attics, in building cavities, on any ledge including guttering, bridge supports or any suitably sized hole in a wall.

Pigeons tend to mate for life and a pair can raise 4 broods of 2 eggs a year including throughout the winter if conditions are right. Eggs take 17 days to be incubated and a young pigeon will be able to fly within 35 days.

Pigeons eat pulses, grains and seeds but will also eat discarded food scraps that they scavenge in towns and cities. Pigeons tend to congregate, which is what can cause more of a problem with their droppings, also known as guano.

    If pigeons are a persistent problem you should contact a pest control service such as RapidKill to assist with appropriate humane and non-lethal exclusion systems and deterrents.
