Pigeon Control
By Isaac Richards
While it's TRUE that pigeons seem to be a customary part of a fair amount of parks and walkways, they can really lead to a great deal of damage if they are given the opportunity to make a permanent home in a location. In that they're extremely dependent on humans for food as well as nesting and roosting sites, without realizing it, we often sustain their presence.
Additionally with harboring parasites and diseases, pigeons also draw and carry various species of fleas, mites, lice, and ticks, many of which bite. Pigeons that begin to live in airports can also create problems for humans due to potential bird-aircraft collisions. Pigeons are actually considered to be a medium priority hazard to jet aircraft by the Air Force.
p>Pigeon control can be extremely difficult. Convincing the birds to abandon their homes in a given area once they have established a nest is extremely difficult to do without trained professional help. Once pigeons decide to make a roost in an area, it's even more difficult to discourage them from coming back. In cases such as these, it's essential for people to have the correct information and that correct methods be used for the removal of pigeons from attics, roofs and chimneys.
Not only can pigeon droppings create building maintenance and declination problems, pigeons are known to harbor and transmit diseases and parasites to both animals and people as a result of their droppings. Among common pigeon diseases are salmonella food poisoning, ornithosis, encephalitis, cryptococcosis, and toxoplasmosis Newcastle disease. Structures that have pigeons roosting in them not only sustain destruction and damage from droppings, but can also harbor diseases.
A pigeon control program that merges both non lethal and lethal techniques can certainly be worth the money--particularly when you weigh the health damage and financial damage that are caused by large numbers of these birds.
In the event pigeons become a pest control problem around and on your property, they can be hard to remove, and even more difficult to prevent from returning. Since damage and destruction from pigeons can be fairly major, it is necessary to find trained professional assistance with the first signs of problems. Skilled professionals in your location with a well developed set of tactics for extermination can help you manage pigeon populations and take steps to assure that they won't return.
