Pigeon Deterring

By Paul Yurn


Extreme pooping upon home and property is a large problem brought on by pigeons. Pigeons can assemble in big flocks on rooftops, utility lines and windows departing a large quantity of feces behind. After large amounts of fecal material has built up it is very unsightly and results in a really strong odor. When the pigeon waste materials are found on paths it may cause slips as well as accidents and create a liability to home and business owners.

Pigeons transport ectoparasites including bed bugs, chicken mites and yellow mealworms. These parasites can work their way inside homes and then can come in contact with people. A few of the numerous diseases that they can transmit by means of their feces include: salmonella, encephalitis, meningitis, histoplasmosis and also cryptococcosis.

Pigeon overpopulation inside an region could be a real issue, usually caused by an convenient way to obtain housing and meals. Many people giving food to pigeons everyday, as well as litter and garbage bins full of readily available food, brings pigeons back again and again creating a cyclical problem.

The uric acid present in pigeon waste is extremely corrosive and will cause severe destruction to roofs and air conditioner units. Painting can be dissolved from this acidity unless of course it's taken off the surface area. Over time the clean-up and repair to roofing and fixtures can become quite expensive.

Pigeons will probably collect on roof ledges and rain gutters where their feathers, feces as well as nest materials may clog up the gutters. The gutters must be emptied out frequently, otherwise throughout rainy periods it won't operate correctly and the feces and nesting materials will block the gutters causing water to overflow.

Pigeons and doves live essentially everywhere in the planet except for exceptionally harsh habitats such as the Sahara Desert and Antarctica. They've already spread all through Australia, Europe, North America, and South America, residing from big cities, to tropical rainforests. The species has adjusted to almost any environment available, so it's no wonder pigeons are known all over the world.
