The Trouble with Pigeons
While pigeons might seem like part of everyday life, they can cause significant issues when they choose your property as their permanent perch. Once settled, they nest, leave droppings everywhere, and attract mites and other pests—turning your home into an unwelcome hotspot of bird-related problems.
Common issues involve:
- Roosting on roofs, ledges, and gutters
- Nesting under solar panels or in chimneys
- Gaining entry to lofts and outbuildings
Signs of a Pigeon Problem
Not sure if pigeons are becoming a pest at your home? Keep an eye out for:
- Droppings: Large amounts of bird mess on driveways, window sills, or outdoor furniture.
- Nesting Materials: Twigs, feathers, and debris collecting in gutters, balconies, or roof spaces.
- Noise: Persistent cooing or flapping noises, particularly early in the morning.
- Blocked Gutters: Feathers and droppings can clog gutters, leading to drainage issues.
- Increased Insect Activity: Pigeon nests can attract mites, flies, and other parasites.
Why Pigeons Are a Problem
Pigeons are more than just a nuisance—they can cause real harm to your home and health:
- Health Hazards: Pigeon droppings can carry diseases such as psittacosis, histoplasmosis, and salmonella.
- Property Damage: Their acidic droppings can corrode brickwork, metal, and paintwork.
- Blocked Gutters & Chimneys: Nests can cause blockages that lead to water damage or ventilation issues.
- Attracting Secondary Pests: Pigeon nests are often infested with bird mites, lice, and fleas.
- Reduced Kerb Appeal: A pigeon-covered roof or stained driveway can make your home look unkept.

Prevention Tips: Pigeon Problems
A few proactive steps can help deter pigeons from choosing your home:
- Block Nesting Spots: Seal access to loft spaces, chimneys, and outbuildings.
- Keep Ledges Clear: Avoid leaving flat surfaces where pigeons can roost, spikes or sloped surfaces can help.
- Use Decoys or Reflectors: Objects like spinning reflectors or predator decoys may deter pigeons in some cases.
- Don’t Feed Them: Even unintentional feeding (e.g. fallen bird seed or food waste) will keep them coming back.
- Clean Up Quickly: Remove droppings and nesting materials promptly to discourage return visits.
