Getting rid of pigeons and unwanted birds can be a daunting experience.  Much has been published on the internet about how to get rid of pigeons in recent years. Most of the advice you find on the world wide web is unsubstantiated and incorrect.  Ehow.com, wikihow.com, homerepair.com and getridofthings.com all have time wasting tales and advice written for generating advertising revenue.  Unfortunately, the desperate will reach out for help and grab unverified "free" internet information. Most articles on the internet written by pest professionals are generally accurate especially those who chase birds for a living.   

If you have a pigeon problem at you home or business; it should be addressed for health and sanitation reasons.  Pigeons do carry viruses and disease, however you need not worry greatly, just be concerned and move to address the situation.  High traffic public areas, areas where kids and elderly people are exposed to pigeon guano are environments where "risk" may be present.  Getting chronically sick, catching avian flu and dieing from pigeon guano exposure is very remote, yet it does happen form time to time. Perhaps the most danger is the build up of pigeon fecal matter:  The habitat for disease, infestation of other insects, the foul odor and possible infestation of rodents. For businesses; pigeon gunao found all over at the place of business presents a poor customer image and lack of concern and respect for their patrons.     

How does one go about getting rid of pigeons and unwanted birds?  The first step is understanding the species. Observation will be serve you well.  The critical question is how much bird pressure are we observing?  A flock of pigeons or just one or two? Are they nesting or roosting or both?  Are you or some one else creating the environment for the pigeons to live?  Why are the pigeons coming to your site and what are they doing there?

Pigeon pressure can be summed up by the definitions of Heavy - Moderate - Light or stages 1-2-3.  Heavy can be characterized by nesting of more than one flock (25 pigeons), having babies, guano all over the place, fecal matter build up, a foul stench of pigeon crap and the cooing of birds all the time. Stage 2 or Moderate infestation is the same as the #1 or Heavy but mostly to one flock or one flock or less.  Lastly, stage -3 or light infestation may have limited activity noted but less nesting and roosting or visitation (roaming and hanging out)  Keep in mind that one pigeon for instance generates 66lbs of solid waste per year on average; 5 years of unaddressed pigoen problems will be costly.      

Getting rid of pigeons is determined by the "Bird Pressure" you have at your site.  This will determine the amount or type abatement that needs to take place and how much money will be spent on getting rid of your pigeons/birds.  How much 'YOU" hate these pigeon/birds  out of your life and what are your architectural limitations, if any will determine cost. Most often you don't want to kill any bird including the pigeon; you just want them to go else where. Keep in mind all birds are protected generally under federal law especially officially protected species like starlings, sparrows, woodpeckers, parrots, etc. 

What are the options for getting rid of the pesky pigeon and any other avian pest?  There are generally two major categories:  Bird hardware - physical deterrents (exclusion) OR chemical warfare - low value toxins which repel or high value toxins that eradicate.
