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, weāll explain why pigeons are a problem, the risks they pose, and the best ways to control them.
š 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.
ā ļø The Dangers of Pigeons
Many people underestimate pigeons, but they can cause serious health and property issues:
š§« Health Risks
Pigeon droppings can carry diseases such as:
Histoplasmosis
Psittacosis
Salmonella
These can become airborne when droppings dry out, posing a risk to humansāespecially in commercial premises, schools, and hospitals.
š§± 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
š 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
