Pigeon Spiking Leeds

Effective Pigeon Control: Spikes Fitted to Sanitary Waste Pipe and Aerial in Leeds

Pigeons roosting on your property can cause a variety of issues, from aesthetic damage to serious health hazards. Recently, MJR Pest Control tackled such a problem in Leeds, where pigeons were night roosting on a sanitary waste pipe and daytime roosting on an aerial. This led to a significant buildup of hazardous droppings on the pavement below, creating an unsanitary and potentially dangerous environment for residents and visitors.

The Problem: Pigeons and Their Perching Habits

Pigeons are highly adaptable birds that often find roosting spots on urban structures. In this particular case, the sanitary waste pipe provided a sheltered nighttime perch, while the aerial offered a high vantage point for daytime rest. Unfortunately, these roosting habits resulted in a consistent accumulation of droppings, which are not only unsightly but also pose serious health risks due to the pathogens they can carry.

The Solution: Installing Pigeon Spikes

To address this issue, MJR Pest Control employed a humane and effective method: the installation of pigeon spikes. Here’s a breakdown of the process and benefits:

1. Assessment and Planning:
   • Our team conducted a thorough assessment of the property to identify the specific roosting areas and the extent of the droppings buildup.
   • Based on the findings, a customized plan was devised to target the waste pipe and aerial without causing harm to the birds or disrupting the property’s aesthetics.
2. Installation:
   • Durable and discreet pigeon spikes were carefully installed along the length of the sanitary waste pipe and around the base of the aerial.
   • The spikes create an uncomfortable surface, deterring pigeons from landing and roosting.
3. Results:
   • The immediate effect was a significant reduction in pigeon activity in the targeted areas.
   • Over time, the elimination of roosting opportunities led to a cleaner pavement below, reducing the health hazards associated with pigeon droppings.

Benefits of Pigeon Spiking

• Humane Solution: Pigeon spikes do not harm the birds; they simply prevent them from landing.
• Long-lasting: Made from robust materials, these spikes provide a durable solution to pigeon roosting.
• Low Maintenance: Once installed, pigeon spikes require minimal maintenance and continue to be effective for years.
• Cost-effective: Compared to other methods, pigeon spiking is a cost-effective way to protect your property.
