How do I Get Rid of Pigeons in London?

Pigeons are a persistent pest in London causing all sorts of problems from entering properties to leaving the mess from their droppings on pavements and buildings around the capital. London faces a never-ending battle against these pests as they breed quickly and are resilient.

There are many options when it comes to getting rid of pigeons in London but when it comes to bird control, pigeon netting is one of the most widely used methods in London. Bird netting is made using durable plastic twine, which is stretched to create an impenetrable pigeon barrier. It can be installed on a variety of surfaces, including the fascias of building and across balconies. The netting stops pigeons and other birds from roosting in that area. Pigeon netting can be installed relatively cheaply and is low maintenance so doesn’t require frequent attention to be effective.

As experienced bird netting installers, we understand the importance of dealing with nuisance birds appropriately. Our bird netting will deter birds from landing on your property, forcing them to seek refuge elsewhere. We also recognize that the cost of dealing with nuisance birds can be high, as you may need to clean your property frequently to eliminate mess and dirt. We believe that bird netting is a cost-effective solution that delivers positive outcomes. While you will have to pay for the service, the cost will be considerably less than continually cleaning your property to maintain its appearance.

What scares pigeons away?

There are things that pigeons don’t like, such as strong spices like black pepper, chilli, or cinnamon. You could try making spice bags or spread a generous amount of these spices around popular pigeon nesting areas to keep them away. However, you will need to replace the spices on a regular basis for them to remain effective as their potency will reduce over time.
