Q |
What’s
the best way to “stop a pigeon, keep
pigeons out, keep pigeons off and/or keep
pigeons away from my property? |
|
| |
A |
Firstly, killing pigeons
is only a very short term solution; many
studies have shown that the culled pigeons
will usually be replaced within months if
not weeks. The best solution is usually
“roost modification” (doing
something to a surface so that the problem
pigeons no longer want to roost on it).
In our opinion one of the best forms of
“roost modification” is the
installation of pigeon anti roosting spikes
creating a physical barrier which will prevent
pigeon pests from returning. |

Q |
I want to
deter a pigeon from one window sill, will
installing spikes on a single sill be enough
to scare the pigeon away from my property?
|
|
| |
A |
Unlikely, this nuisance
pigeon is likely to move to the nearest available
ledge, probably another window or pipe. |

Q |
How easy
is it to install a Pigeonoff™ Bird spike?
|
|
| |
A |
Very easy, each order
comes with a wonderfully simple installation
guide and “how to install” instructional
CD. If you can use a ladder to clean a window
then you'll be able to install the spike strips.
If you're not confident with a ladder you
do not necessarily need a pigeon pest control
expert; simply show the installation guide
to a local window cleaner or handyman, providing
you supply the spikes they'll be more than
willing to install them for a few pounds.

Q |
Which product
is best to control pigeons, the plastic or
steel spikes? |
|
| |
A |
Both the plastic
bird spike and the stainless steel bird spike
will remove pigeons just as well as each other.
The only difference being that the stainless
steel spike is slightly less visible. |

Q |
I’m
not sure how big a pigeon problem I have.
All I can see is a build up of pigeon droppings
on the floor? |
|
| |
A |
Look
up at the building above. If you do this at
dusk you will be able to see all the nuisance
pigeons on the various ledges that will require
pigeon repellent spikes. |

|
Q |
Pigeon Pest Control,
is it legal and does the actual bird spike
injure the bird? |
|
| |
A |
Fixing a bird spike to
your property is perfectly legal and humane
way of deterring pigeons; in fact the RSPB
(Royal Society for the Protection of Birds)
recommends spikes as a solution to an unwanted
pest pigeon on a property ledge. The spikes
do not hurt the birds they simply stop pigeons
landing. |
|
11 |
Q |
How are the spikes
sold, what lengths are they? |
|
| |
A |
Spikes can be purchased online.
Each strip of spikes is appro0x 1/3 of a
metre (1 foot). We sell it in multiples
of a metre so if you order 1 metre you’ll
receive 3 pieces. Order 5 metres and you’ll
receive 15 pieces. Each row of spikes will
remove pigeons from a ledge depth of up
to 200mm wide (8 inches). If the ledge is
wider you’ll need 2 or more rows. |
|
12 |
Q |
Do you sell bird netting? |
|
| |
A |
No, we do not sell bird netting. We only
manufacture and distribute bird anti roosting
spikes. Installing netting is a very complicated
process compared to installing spikes which
is very easy and does not involve drilling.

Q |
|
What does Bird Proofing and Pigeon Proofing
mean? |
|
|
| |
A |
The pest control industry uses the term
bird proof to mean the installation of mechanical
systems to prevent a pest bird or pigeon from
roosting. |
|
14 |
Q |
Do pigeon spikes act solely as a deterrent against
pigeon pests or will they work against seagulls? |
|
| |
A |
When dealing with seagull control you will
need to use seagull spikes. Seagull spikes
have longer wires and are a much better form
of seagull deterrent. These are available
from our sister company – Deteragull.co.uk.
