Pigeon Control Sydney

In some cases, the presence of pigeons are obvious, in others it may not be. A more obvious case of a pigeon infestation being present could be noted by the following.

You might be able to see flocks of pigeons gathering around your premises. Or there might be a build-up of bird droppings on external walls and windows, footpaths, signs and cars.

In other cases – especially when they make their homes in internal building cavities or ventilation systems – the presence of pigeons is less obvious.

If you suspect that you have a pigeon infestation or want to make sure that you are clear, Elite Pest will come and carry out a thorough inspection. 

Pigeons are one of the most common pest birds in Australia. They cause a variety of problems at all kinds of buildings, from airports to manufacturing facilities to power plants and the rooftops of stores, offices, and homes. Because pigeon droppings contain uric acid, which is highly corrosive, pigeons can cause a great deal of damage in a short amount of time. Feral pigeons are responsible for untold millions of dollars of damage each year in urban areas. Here are a few of the other most common pigeon roosting problems (and reasons why people need effective pigeon deterrents):

• Pigeons (and pigeon waste) can hurt the image of a business or commercial enterprise as they leave a bad impression
• Collected debris from roosting pigeon flocks can cause water damage by blocking up gutters and drains
• Roosting pigeons often cause extensive damage to air conditioning units and other rooftop machinery
• Droppings create hazardous surfaces that lead to slip and fall liability
• Bacteria, fungal agents, and ectoparasites found in pigeon droppings can pose a health risk.

Tell us about your pigeon problem and we’ll point you to the solutions you need.

Because pigeon prevention can be easier than pigeon removal, we always recommend proactive use of deterrent products that will cause these birds to roost elsewhere, so their homing instinct isn’t bringing them back to your property!

If you already have a flock of pigeons on your property, the first line of defense, as with all pest birds, is removing all sources of food and water from the site. However, you will need to take additional steps to control an established pigeon problem. At Elite we aim to solve any pigeon problem for good.
