Pigeons are the number one pest bird in the world. They are not indigenous to North America, so they are not protected. But, at Bird Barrier we always recommend protecting a structure with deterrent products, causing the birds move to a new location.

Physical Deterrents are the Best Way to Keep Pigeons Away

Bird Barrier offers a number of solutions to repel pigeons. The best solution for pigeon problems, is complete exclusion with a 2″ mesh StealthNet. Many ledge problems can be solved by using products such as Bird-Coil, Birdwire, Bird-Flite and Dura-Spike bird spikes, as well as Bird-Shock Flex-Track electrical track.

Steps to Deter Pigeons

To determine how to best solve a pigeon problem, we must first know the answer to two questions: 1. What is the bird pressure:

• Heavy: Birds are nesting, extremely committed to the site
• Medium: Birds are eating nearby, really like this site
• Light: Birds are hanging out here from time to time, not really committed

2. What are the birds landing on?

• Roof peak
• Narrow ledge
• Wide ledge
• Pipe
• Flat surface
• Signs
• Protected nook
• Underside of loading dock roof, on pipes and beams
