How To Get Rid Of Pigeons Around Your Pleasanton Property

People love living in big cities for many reasons, from numerous business opportunities to exciting nightlife. Sadly, pigeons are just as drawn to urban areas as their human, city-dwelling counterparts. The main reason is that cities simulate the habitat that pigeons would live in nature on top of cliffs. Yes, the tall buildings often found in the downtown areas of most cities are just shiny, modern versions of cliffs for pigeons.

And unless you enjoy climbing onto your home’s roof daily to shoo pigeons away, these birds will continue to be challenging to eliminate. Take a look at the three other areas around your home where pigeons like to perch:

Pigeons are also quite fond of your window ledges and balcony railings to roost on during the day. If you’re struggling to get rid of pigeons, contact pest control for bird removal. They’re the number one option to keep these pests away from your property.
