About this deal

Traps are not as easy to install or use as other pigeon deterrents but can be highly effective when done correctly. on the metal surface. Small guide holes would then be drilled and self-tapping screws (metal screws) would be screwed into place securing the post in position. Glass:

Before you decide which pigeon deterrent to use, it’s a good idea to understand why you should control the pigeon population around your property. If you don’t or can’t handle the burden, you can always get in touch with bird control professionals like Fantastic Bird Control. Pigeons can cause problems in and around properties for years. This is often seen as being the most conventional of all window types but with UPVC becoming so popular and often using centrally-hinged or top/bottom-hinged windows that open in and out the side-hinged window is becoming rarer. Whether you have a single side-hinged window or a double, installation is the same. Assuming that the gap between the base of the window (when open) and the sill is greater than 3” then the provision of wires spanning the sill from one side to another, as described for sash windows, will be the most effective DIY pigeon deterrent option. If, however, the clearance between the base of the window when open and the sill is less than 3” then another option will need to be considered.Bird wire is not a practical solution to roosting or nesting birds, so the user must understand the system’s limitation. Bird wire is a plastic-coated UV resistant stainless steel wire installed between 2 upright posts, held under tension with spring and fixed in place with crimps. The installed system is flexible and allows for movement under duress but provides a discomforting experience that pigeons and gulls do not like and this moves them on. Bird wire does not stop birds from landing; however, they do not or for minimal moments in the vast majority of times. Spacing between the final row and the wall (or the rear edge of surface to be protected) – no more than 26mm

It is also important to mention that if you are about to inspect any internal area, particularly if there are a considerable number of pigeons in situ, it would be wise to wear a paper face mask. This is because well-dried pigeon excrement, when disturbed and inhaled, can cause minor irritation to the bronchial passages. There is no health risk as such, just take sensible precautions, as you would when in any environment where there are wild birds or animals. Although much is made of the potential for pigeons to pass on diseases to humans, it is almost unheard of for this to happen. Every species of bird, including domesticated birds, has the potential to carry and pass on diseases to other birds and humans, but the realistic chance of this happening to anyone that is installing deterrents on their property is virtually zero. For more information on cleaning products and protective clothing please read the Cleaning and Sanitising product/service review. Although many of the DIY devices for excluding pigeons, as with conventional products, can be used in the same way on any type of property, there are instances when you may need to provide a different DIY solution dependent on your property type. To an extent, the location of your building is also an issue, but less so than property type. Period properties, in the Victorian/Edwardian styles, can offer extensive perching and roosting opportunities for pigeons due, in the main, to their architectural features. Decorative features on the exterior of period properties as well as multiple roof lines, degradable soffits (made from timber) and wide windowsills all offer the pigeon optimum perching or roosting opportunities. Modern properties tend to have fewer external features that are attractive to pigeons and therefore problems tend to be less common.First you will need to measure the length of the gutter, which can be done by pacing out the relevant wall of the house at ground level. This will provide a rough measurement. You will then need to cut two pieces of galvanized steel mesh the length of the piece of guttering you wish to protect. The width of these pieces will be dictated by the overall size and width of your gutter. On some period buildings guttering can be extremely wide and in other cases there will be a square lead-lined gutter. In each case this method will be effective and the principle of installation is the same as for a conventional modern gutter. Although anti-roosting spikes are considered to be the industry standard method of protecting windowsills, many specialist contractors will recommend a post and wire system. These systems are not only expensive but are also prone to failure as a result of wires breaking or due to poor installation. In many cases, where the wires are installed at the incorrect height, pigeons will perch and even nest beneath, behind or beside the wires – this is common.
