How To Get Rid Of Pigeons Around Your Pleasanton Property

websitebuilder • May 08, 2023

Why Pigeons Love Urban Settings

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. Also, these birds have become comfortable around large numbers of people, primarily because we are feeding them.

The Problems Roosting Pigeons Can Create Around Your Property

When pigeons make pit stops, better known as roosting, widespread destruction begins. Pigeons cause extensive damage to a variety of structures, such as:

  • Residential Homes
  • Commercial Spaces
  • Manufacturing Facilities
  • Stores And Businesses
  • Offices
  • Power Plants
  • Airports

When pigeons decide to make themselves at home on top of yours, they can do damage in a concise amount of time. Pigeon droppings are highly corrosive due to the uric acid it contains. It can discolor a structure and ruin your car’s paint, stain fabric, destroy wood, clog gutters, and short circuit electrical equipment. Also, it completely wrecks a home’s curb appeal. That’s why it’s crucial to contact professional bird control for pigeons on your property right away.  

Factors That Attract Pigeons To Your Property

When it comes to heights, pigeons have the mentality of “the higher, the better.” All birds are attracted to heights because of the unobstructed view to search for food and water sources. The tops of homes and buildings make the best spots for pigeons to perch. The unfortunate part is that people can’t access most of the locations where pigeons congregate because they’re typically too dangerous. 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:

  1. Gutters
  2. Solar Panels
  3. Air Conditioning Units

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.

The Most Effective Way To Get Rid Of Pigeons On Your Property
