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.

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
