Pigeons are quite eye-catching animals, but their droppings can damage homes and spread diseases to people and other animals. [1] X Research Sources You can prevent this with obstructions and humane control of bird populations. Before taking any measure, you should inquire into the national and local laws relating to the protection status and applicable controls.
Steps
Make the bird perching space less attractive

Use sharp barbed wire to prevent birds from perching. You can attach this tool to any place where birds can perch, such as a roof. Buy barbed wire at a hardware store or a place that specializes in seeds, ornamental plants, and garden tools. Install according to the manufacturer’s instructions. [2] X Research Source
- You can replace it with something more gentle than “rainbow springs” available at department stores and toy stores. Extend the spring along the balcony handrail, with the distance of the spring coil not exceeding 4 cm. Tie the fixed springs (or use silver tape) 2 cm apart. Pigeons don’t like these because they make the surface of the landing space more difficult. [3] X Research Sources
Hang a windproof rope in an area where birds roost. Pull the rope from one end to the other at a height of 3 cm above the bird’s perch. This way the birds can’t keep their balance, so they can’t land. [4] X Research Sources

Install a large sloping cover. Covers made of metal, plywood, or PVC have a slippery surface that makes it difficult for birds to land on them. Coating products, such as BirdSlide™, consist of three coverings that form a right triangle. [5] X Research Source The legs fit firmly into the flat bird perching area. The surface has an angle of 4 to 60 degrees making it impossible for birds to land on it. Install the cover over overhangs, ledges, window sills, and other flat areas where birds roost.

Do not feed the pigeons. Do not feed pigeons or leave bird feeders in your home. Pigeons can remember the location of food sources accurately. They will constantly return to where someone is feeding. [7] X Trusted Source The Humane Society of the United States Go to Source
- You can break this rule if you use pigeon population control, depending on herd mentality and long-term memory for long-term effects. [8] X Research Sources
Clean up other food sources. Food sources for pigeons can include grass seeds, begonias or olives, and outdoor dog food. Seeds should not be sown in the ground continuously if the seeds have not yet germinated. Preventing or controlling access to food sources will reduce pigeon populations.

Seal the entrance

Seal the attic. Fill gaps between roofing sheets or in indoor door panels. [10] X Research Source Cover the edges of bird nests with stiff fabric and silicone mats or plastic bird nets. Seal gaps in the roof where pigeons often roost and nest with industrial bird netting.
- You can strengthen your attic deterrence by pruning tree branches that grow near the roof. [11] X Research Source
Close the chimney cap. Pigeons like to perch on chimneys. Installing a stainless steel mesh cover prevents birds from getting close but smoke can still escape. If you do not have experience installing roofs, you can find staff to do this job. Just make sure that no pigeons appear while the chimney cap is on. [12] X Research Source
Place a net at the place where the pigeons nest. Meshes are popular humanitarian repellents because they can be used anywhere without disturbing the eyes. Cover all surfaces where pigeons can land or lay eggs, such as under an air conditioner. This will completely prevent pigeons from approaching the location.

Hiring. If you find pigeons in your attic or other area of your home, you can hire someone to install a one-way door. This device allows birds to fly out but prevents them from getting inside. You can also hire staff to clean up droppings, feathers, or other things left by birds. Professional cleaners have the right cleaning equipment available, and protective equipment can be expensive if you do it yourself. [14] X Research Source
Chase away pigeons

Use a hose to spray water on the pigeons. They won’t like being splashed with water. Spray on the birds as they arrive. If you wait until they build a nest, it’s too late. [15] X Research Source
Kite chasing pigeons. This light kite or bird of prey is sold as a hawk. Hang the kite where pigeons often land. Note that pigeons will get used to the presence of raptors that are always “perched” in the same place. [16] X Research Source To be effective, you should move the bird of prey regularly.
Use reflective surfaces. The sun shining on a reflective object will create a prism effect that affects the eyesight of the pigeons. To scare away pigeons you can use reflective tape or silver balls. If funds do not allow, you can hang old CDs on a tree nearby or along the porch. [17] X Research Source
Advice
- Pigeons are intelligent and highly motivated animals to return home. This is why you can hardly keep them out of the house. If you can reach them, you will easily catch them in the dark. However, pigeons will return unless they raise their chicks in another location.
- Pigeons reproduce very quickly. Unless the initial population of pigeons is small, shooting or trapping is only a temporary solution. The remaining birds will often make up for lost birds in the flock by rapidly reproducing.
- You can humanely reduce pigeon populations by applying birth control to them. This measure is applied by feeding birds with pelleted food. This type of food is too large for the nightingale. It is expected to be quite expensive, but has a long-lasting effect and can reduce pigeon populations by up to 95 percent. Buy pellets on the internet or at a place that sells seeds, plants and garden tools. This method is EPA certified and approved by the animal welfare association.

- If you live outside of New Hampshire, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico, you can use this product without a license. [19] X Research Source
Warning
- Do not harm the pigeon if it is not necessary. They are living creatures. Any permanent exclusion must be humane and subject to animal welfare laws.
- Never use ppybutylene gel. This sticky insecticide will harm any animals or birds in close contact. The gel can get on the feathers of other birds and prevent them from flying. If a bird or small animal steps on the gel, they can become trapped and slowly die in agony. [20] X Trusted Source The Humane Society of the United States Go to source
- Do not use ultrasonic devices, as they affect not only pigeons but also other harmless birds, as well as dogs and cats. Humanitarian devices are approved for use in airports, but they are not yet authorized for use indoors. [21] X Research Source
