Pigeons are one of the common birds in the city, and they usually feed on grains, bread crumbs, and other foods. Although pigeons have their reasons for being in urban environments, sometimes they can cause some problems, such as effects on buildings, crops, or human health. Here are some common things that pigeons are afraid of and some ways to get rid of them::
1.Rings and noises:Pigeons are sensitive to sudden noises and loud noises. The use of sound equipment, speakers or other sound-making tools can help drive away pigeons. This can include different sounds such as birds of prey calling, metal tapping, etc.
2.Scare items:Place items that scare birds, such as plastic fake eagles, model birds of prey, or reflective surfaces. These items can create an atmosphere that is threatening to the pigeons, thus keeping them away.
3.Water Sprinkler System:The use of an automatic water spray system, triggered especially when the pigeons enter an area, can make the pigeons feel uncomfortable and thus avoid them staying in the area.
4.Blocking and occlusion:Set up physical obstacles such as spikes, barbed wires or nets in areas frequented by pigeons. This prevents the pigeon from landing or staying on a specific surface.
5.Change the environment:Pigeons prefer to forage in relatively flat, open areas. By incorporating some obstacles, plants or other objects in these areas, it is possible to change the environment so that it is less attractive to the pigeons.
6.Avoid feeding:Pigeons congregate in areas where humans feed, so avoiding overfeeding pigeons in public places is an important precaution. One should be aware that overfeeding can lead to a flock of pigeons and act accordingly.
7.Make a regular cleanup plan:Pigeons are usually left in an area because there is food there**. By regularly cleaning up food scraps, especially in areas such as restaurants, cafes, etc., it is possible to reduce the attraction of pigeons.
8.Use of chemical repellent agents:Some chemical repellents specifically designed to repel birds may have some effect on pigeons. These chemicals usually include ingredients that have a stimulating effect on pigeons, such as cayenne pepper extract.
It is important to note that when using these methods, it is important to choose methods that are not harmful to the pigeons and avoid negative effects on the environment and other wildlife. In addition, regulations and regulations may impose restrictions on some ways to get rid of pigeons, so it is best to check the relevant local regulations before taking action.
