- Feed other wild birds but not the pigeons. There are some wild bird foods that pigeons find distasteful. A range of other birds will eat thistle and black sunflower seeds, but pigeons turn away from this staple. Removing standing water on your property is another great idea and even covering over a pool that’s not in use is a good way to dissuade pigeons.
- Go after their nests. Pigeons don’t like having their nests disturbed and considering their nesting period is five months long, it makes sense to be persistent and tear the nests down as soon as they get rebuilt. Eventually pigeons will get bothered enough to move to another location.
- Consider a scarecrow. If you notice pigeons hanging around your home, consider making a scarecrow and placing it close to where the pigeons like to spend time. This will make them uncomfortable and they will eventually move.
- Close any attic windows or openings. Pigeons will often live in abandoned attics, so if you have an attic and if there is access to it from the outside make sure you call your local pest control experts to close any openings where pigeons and other pests can enter.
Remember that if the infestation can’t be controlled with simple measures, you need to call us since we’re the Toronto pest control experts with a guarantee.
