Feral pigeons are a common sight in cities and towns across the UK and while many will view them as harmless urban wildlife, their proliferation in close proximity to humans means they are often a significant problem for businesses and homeowners.
Health risks from droppings (guano) – causes bacteria, fungi, and viruses that can cause human diseases
Feathers, dust, and fouling can trigger extrinsic allergic alveolitis (bird fancier’s lung)
Noise and nuisance – large flocks create disturbance and deter customers
Property damage – acidic guano corrodes buildings and equipment, leading to costly repairs
Blocked guttering and drainage leading to potential flooding/water damage
Bird fouling can harm brand’s image – for example, droppings on signage – but also create slip hazards, particularly around exits and entrances
Professional pigeon proofing
Our specialist bird control team have decades of experience managing feral pigeons. We have developed a range of humane and sustainable solutions to protect homes and businesses, by keeping pigeons away from affected areas. Our qualified technicians will survey the site before recommending a proofing solution, which may include:
Pigeon excrement cleaning and sanitation
If left in place, pigeon guano can cause damage to buildings and equipment, lead to serious health and safety problems and create an unsightly mess. The accumulation of nesting materials and droppings can also block gutters and drains. We provide a professional cleaning and disinfectant service to remove guano from affected areas, returning your property to a clean, presentable, functioning state.
Pigeon removal
Where individual pigeons have gained access to a property, and there is no non-lethal method of pigeon management possible, we are licenced to shoot them humanely with air rifles. Live traps may also be used to capture and remove pigeons from problem areas.
You can trust us to provide effective, sustainable solutions that protect your property and reduce health and safety risks associated with pigeon pests. Our methods ensure effective protection whilst safeguarding local wildlife, eco-systems and biodiversity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are pigeons protected under law?
In the UK, feral pigeons are a common urban pest and are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. Property owners and pest control professionals can legally manage pigeon populations using humane methods such as netting, spikes, traps, and approved deterrents, while avoiding illegal poisons or inhumane practices that would breach the Animal Welfare Act 2006.
How do pigeon control inspections work?
Our technicians inspect common pigeon hotspots, identify nests and roosting areas, and develop a tailored control plan. We use humane techniques and bird-proofing solutions to prevent future infestations.
