Pigeon bird proofing

Posted 18 August 2009 by Grayson

The acidic droppings and activity of the Rock Pigeon causes many millions of dollars damage to roofing every year worldwide. Bird Spikes can be a great way of deterring this bird from ledges. Some councils and pest controllers will trap and kill or shoot these birds in an attempt to eradicate them but within months the Pigeon population will be back in force. For a small inspection fee Grayson's can advise on more humane and effective measures to tackle this pest.

During our bird control roof inspections Grayson's has found more than 30 Rock Pigeons living and breeding inside a single residential roof. Pigeons in roofing constitutes as a major problem as they live in more than just pairs and may spread very harmful diseases.
