How to Get Rid of Pigeons
Keeping pigeon infestations under control begins with a thorough inspection, the essential first step in any effective pest management plan.
Pigeon Pest Control
Pigeons are among the most common bird species across Europe and Asia and are frequently spotted throughout the U.S. and Canada. Known for their calm and friendly nature, pigeons are generally harmless to humans. However, because their diet consists mainly of seeds and fruits, they can become a disturbance when they start feeding near crops or nesting in urban areas.
While these birds are protected and should never be harmed, humane control methods can help manage their presence. One of the most effective strategies is using seeds as bait beneath a durable nylon net, allowing for safe capture and relocation.
