The Pigeon Problem

Pigeons, particularly feral pigeons, can rapidly become an issue for property owners in Stafford, Hendra, Moggill, Chermside, Wacol, Banyo, Eagle Farm, and other regions around Brisbane. Their acidic droppings corrode metal, potentially damaging your property. Their nests can block gutters and drains, leading to overflow and damage during storms. Moreover, their droppings are known to harbor diseases like psittacosis, salmonellae, and pseudo-tuberculosis, posing a considerable health risk.

Pigeons are creatures of habit. They have a built-in homing mechanism and prefer to stay around their birth site. If relocated, they tend to return quickly, making them particularly troublesome to control. Breaking their breeding cycle and restricting their access to sheltered areas for nesting is crucial. Despite these efforts, once pigeons are removed, others born at the site may move back in, necessitating another round of pigeon control in the future.

Pigeon Control Techniques

Control Pest Management Brisbane uses several humane methods to control pigeons, all compliant with Queensland Health regulations and licensing. These include trapping, treated grain, shooting, bird netting, bird spikes, and other bird-proofing measures.

1. Pigeon Control using Spikes and Netting

Pigeon spikes and netting are effective and non-harmful ways of deterring pigeons. These tools prevent pigeons from roosting or nesting on your property, ultimately reducing their population.

2. Pigeon Removal via Shooting

Control Pest Management Brisbane employs trained marksmen to handle pigeon removal by shooting in places where traditional methods can't be applied. The marksmen use low-velocity bullets to remove persistent birds without causing unnecessary harm. This method is especially effective around complex structures like air conditioning pipework.

3. Bird Baiting

Bird baiting is typically used in conjunction with other methods like shooting, trapping, or proofing. It serves to scare the remaining birds away, causing them to leave the area.

4. Solar Panel Proofing

Solar panels are often the perfect shelter for pigeons to nest. Control Pest Management Brisbane offers dedicated systems to proof solar panels, preventing pigeons from nesting underneath.

FAQs

How is pigeon removal carried out?

Pigeon removal can be a complex process, as pigeons tend to return to their birthplace. Our skilled pest controllers will inspect your property and devise the best solution for you, which often involves a combination of removal and proofing methods.

How quickly can pigeons be removed?

The speed of pigeon removal depends on the situation. In large areas like warehouses, removal can be immediate through pigeon shooting. However, in most cases, pigeon removal is conducted over a 4-6 week period.

What if my neighbour feeds pigeons?

If your neighbour feeds feral birds, it can complicate the pigeon removal process. It's best to communicate your concerns with your neighbour. If that doesn't work, Control Pest Management Brisbane can provide bird deterrents for your property.
