Pigeon Pest Control

Pigeons were first introduced as pets but have since adapted to city life and grown into one of the most common nuisance birds. Today, they thrive across Sydney in places like businesses, schools, shopping centres, airports, stadiums, and historical landmarks. Wherever there is easy access to food and shelter, pigeons quickly gather and multiply. Their natural diet is mainly grains and fruit, but in urban areas, they survive on scraps and waste from humans, often seen scavenging in car parks and around fast-food outlets.

Pigeons live in flocks, feeding, roosting, and nesting together. They usually mate for life and, in the wild, can live up to 15 years. In cities like Sydney, their lifespan is shorter, averaging around five years. The biggest problems arise where pigeons feed or rest, and these areas often need professional pigeon pest control solutions to reduce damage and health risks.

Why are pigeons nuisance to be around the house?

We at Sydney Pest Crew receive a lot of calls from residential and commercial clients that happen to be dealing with a pigeon problem. In most cases, by the time they contact us, the issue has gotten out of hand because property owners have neglected to address the problem as soon as they noticed them. It is best to get professional pigeon pest control in Sydney done because:

• Pigeons can be extremely noisy and dirty. Once they have found a proper roosting and nesting place, they can become impossible to remove.
• What many people do not realise is that pigeons carry health risks just as rodents and mice do; they are disease carriers.
• Pigeons can be very disruptive and destructive, as well. They can bite and peck into wooden beams.
• They also build nests in various areas which attract insects and pests. Pigeons are quite strong and determined and can dislodge roof shingles.
• Their droppings defile outdoor areas of your home or commercial establishment and can also corrode the building material.
• In industrial settings, these birds can cause damage to equipment and inventory stored in warehouses.

How can Sydney Pest Crew handle pigeon infestation?

We first inspect the area and check bird nests then remove them carefully and  block the areas where they could potentially enter. Implementing measures to prevent pigeons from accessing potential nesting or roosting sites in your building is essential. Successful bird control also includes removing food sources, reducing nesting and roosting spots, and installing bird-proofing systems on buildings. Trapping and removing smaller populations may be required, while larger flocks often need professional culling to stop them from gathering at food sources.

Depending on the situation, we may use spiking on ledges and building edges or bird netting to protect solar panels and rooftops. This complete approach ensures long-term and effective pigeon control Sydney.
