Prevent Roof Leaks With Pigeon Control Phoenix

People from Arizona are as bothered by nesting pigeons as anywhere else in the world

. Figuring out the best type of pigeon control Phoenix is of particular concern due to the warmth of this region. In some places these birds breed all year, with new eggs laid before the nestlings have even left the nest. It takes only six weeks for the hatchlings to be fully grown.

In no time at all, a serious pest control problem may have developed. These birds love to nest in gutters, attics, HVAC units, or pretty much any place that is up high and protected from the weather. They have a diet that can range from grains and insects to human food, and as such, they have been very successful at nesting in areas where people live.

The acidic nature of the bird feces can do extensive damage to metal structures, including automobiles. In addition, having an entire flock of these birds hanging about can cause gutters on roofs to clog. This can result in standing water on the roof, which can lead to water leaks.

Not only is their feces an environmental problem, but it can be a health hazard as well. Signs are being posted in cities everywhere discouraging people from feeding them, as they will remain in an environment where food is plentiful. Their feces can spread diseases such as salmonella and encephalitis, both of which are life-threatening to the very young, the very old, or anyone already fighting an illness.

Poisoning is a common method people utilize to keep their numbers down, but this method requires vigilance. The potential is very high for poisoned birds to be consumed by something else. Additionally, people who keep pigeons as a hobby do not appreciate their birds being exposed to poisons. Racing pigeons will frequently eat food put out by humans, as that is what they are accustomed to.

The health hazard associated with poisoning can affect peoples pets, as it is not uncommon for a cat or dog to eat a dead animal they find. Also, if a number of dead birds are left, this can become an unpleasant situation very quickly. When utilizing this method, someone must clean up the dead birds daily to prevent the poisons from killing the wrong target.

There are barriers or nets which can prevent pigeons from roosting. These birds are very good at finding their old nesting areas, so simply moving them does not work. However, using bird netting can prevent them from engaging in this instinctive behavior, as it forces them to find someplace else to nest.

Other methods of pigeon control Phoenix are spikes, chemical deterrents, and some people will even use electric shock wire. More and more often people feed the birds a substance which is a form of birth control. However, that technique is dangerous as rare and endangered bird species are likely to eat either the birth control feed, or the treated pigeons themselves. Catching and moving them, followed up by the installation of bird netting or some other deterrent, is still the most humane method of dealing with problem birds.
