🐦 Pigeon Problems? How ALL GONE Pest Control Can Help

Pigeons might seem harmless, but when they settle on your property they can quickly become a serious nuisance. At ALL GONE Pest Control, we regularly help homeowners and businesses across Bournemouth and the surrounding areas deal with pigeon infestations safely and effectively.

In this blog, we’ll explain why pigeons are a problem, the risks they pose, and the best ways to control them.

🏠 Why Do Pigeons Nest on Buildings?

Pigeons are highly adaptable birds that thrive in urban environments. They often choose buildings because they mimic their natural cliff-side habitats. Common nesting spots include:

• Roof ledges and eaves

• Loft spaces

• Solar panels

• Balconies and window ledges

• Warehouse beams and factory roofs

Once pigeons find a safe place, they are likely to return year after year.

⚠️ The Dangers of Pigeons

Many people underestimate pigeons, but they can cause serious health and property issues:

🧫 Health Risks

Pigeon droppings can carry diseases such as:

• Histoplasmosis

• Psittacosis

• Salmonella

These can become airborne when droppings dry out, posing a risk to humans—especially in commercial premises, schools, and hospitals.

🧱 Property Damage

Pigeons can also damage buildings through:

• Acidic droppings that corrode brickwork, metal, and stone

• Blocked gutters and drains leading to water damage

• Nesting materials that can create fire hazards in roof spaces

🛑 Why DIY Pigeon Control Often Fails

Many people try DIY deterrents such as fake owls, spikes bought online, or reflective tape. While these can work temporarily, pigeons quickly adapt and return.

Professional pigeon control ensures:

• Correct placement of deterrents

• Long-term solutions rather than short-term fixes

• Safe and humane methods that comply with UK wildlife laws
