Why the Need For Pigeon Control Products From The New Pig Product Line?

Pigeon control and pigeon removal are needed for a variety of reasons. Pigeon problems start with pigeon droppings, which are unsightly, unappealing, and make walking surfaces slippery and dangerous. Without pigeon control practices, pigeon droppings cause excessive damage to property, buildings, automobiles, and machinery; they deface and accelerate the destruction to buildings and kill vegetation. Pigeon problems from droppings also cause an unpleasant odor and appearance for passing pedestrians and customers. Economic losses due to pigeon control problems are significant, due to the need to clean droppings, repair damage, and to maintain safe working conditions. Feathers can plug ventilation units and can cause other associated pigeon problems including numerous health hazards.

Pigeon control and pigeon removal problems also affect factories. Pigeons have been known to entangle themselves in machinery, which halts operations and necessitates repairs. They eat spillage, contaminate pallets of food, drugs or chemicals, and bombard aircraft and other durable goods with uric acidic excrement — all of which spoil inventory. They nibble at, or even tear out insulation. The corrosive effect of droppings causes irreversible damage.

Pigeon removal and pigeon control is challenging work. Traditionally, it is harder to get rid of pigeons than other birds due to their sheer numbers and strong nesting instincts. Therefore, it is important to remove all existing nests and nesting materials at the start of your pigeon control program. Also, a combination of the above pigeon deterrents from New Pig is usually required to eliminate pigeons once and for all.

Pigeon control starts with pigeon deterrents and leads to pigeon removal!

Pigeon control and pigeon removal is vital for health reasons!

HAZARDS

Pigeon control and pigeon removal becomes serious business when you consider the numerous diseases that can be transmitted to humans, pets and livestock. Pigeon droppings harbor dangerous fungi and airborne spores, which, if disturbed and inhaled, can cause serious illness. Transmittable diseases associated with pigeons include histoplasmosis, cryptococcosis, toxoplasmosis, pigeon ornithosis, encephalitis, and salmonellas. Pigeons can host numerous ectoparasites as well, such as ticks, flies, fleas, mites and biting lice, which infest buildings and bite humans and pets.

Pigeon control methods

There are prudent steps your employees and staff can take immediately to begin initiating pigeon control techniques. These steps may not get rid of pigeons or eliminate pigeons altogether, nor are we trying to write a “How to Get Rid of Pigeons for Dummies” book. We’re just offering some simple precautions that will get you started with pigeon control and pigeon removal.

• Don't feed Wild Pigeons
  
  
  People who leave food for pigeons are putting their health and the health of others at risk. Pigeons will naturally find their own food. Plus, once they are fed they will instinctively come back to the same spot again looking for more food…and bring their friends! Leaving food may also attract rats and mice to the area, giving you more than just pigeon removal problems.
  
  
• Don't drop litter
  
  
  Improperly disposed litter, especially in the form of fast-food, is the major food source for most pigeons. To help get rid of pigeons, please ensure litter is placed in a bin.
  
  
• Make sure garbage is disposed of properly
  
  
  Make sure your garbage is stored in a covered bin and regularly collected. Failure to do so will provide food for pigeons as well as rats and mice.
  
  
• Protect buildings
  
  New Pig products expressly made for pigeon control and pigeon removal, such as Bird-Proof Bird Repellant and Bird Repellant Spikes, are effective ways to prevent nesting and protect buildings from roosting pigeons.

How to Get Rid of Pigeons in Unwanted Areas
(but first, let’s get to know your pigeons!)

The pigeon is first on the list of problematic birds in the United States. Originally introduced in this country as pets, pigeons quickly adapted to our environment and decided to stick around and multiply. In the years since their introduction, they have flourished in numbers, causing major pigeon control and pigeon removal problems for businesses, airports, historical landmarks, schools, stadiums and any place with adequate food and shelter.

The pigeon’s natural diet is primarily made up of grains, with some occasional fruit. This basic diet has changed, however, as the birds learned to live in our neighborhoods and cities. It is not uncommon to see flocks of pigeons walking through the parking lots of shopping centers and fast-food restaurants, looking for handouts or scraps of food dropped by humans.

Pigeons live in communal flocks. These flocks generally feed and roost together, and enjoy companionship. Pigeons usually mate for life. Pigeons in the wild may live up to 10 or 15 years, but in urban areas that number is reduced to about 3-1/2 to 5 years.

Most pigeon problems occur where birds rest and feed. It is in these areas that you will need to use pigeon deterrents. Pigeon control and pigeon removal techniques can involve the use of visual scare devices, roost inhibitors, pigeon repellent and inaudible or ultrasonic devices.
