Pigeons: A Messy and Costly Problem for Homes and Businesses

Pigeons might be a familiar sight in towns and cities across the UK, but when they start nesting on your property, they can become a serious nuisance. Their droppings are not only unsightly but highly corrosive, damaging buildings, vehicles, and signage. Pigeons also carry diseases such as salmonella and ornithosis, making them a health hazard for homes, restaurants, and businesses.

These birds are attracted to easy food sources, such as uncovered bins, outdoor dining areas, and people feeding them in public spaces. Once they find a suitable nesting spot—such as rooftops, balconies, or loft spaces—they can be difficult to remove, returning year after year. Their nests can also block gutters and ventilation systems, leading to water damage and poor air quality indoors.

Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, pigeons cannot be harmed without good reason, meaning professional pest control is essential for dealing with them legally and humanely. Deterrents such as bird spikes, netting, and proofing solutions can prevent pigeons from nesting on your property, reducing damage and health risks.
