    Re: pigeon menace

    You need to rid of these pigeons . so that they will not spoil your balcony every morning and these also cause diseases . you can use chemicals available in the market . so that you come out from this problem . or you can contact with any company which removes pigeons

    It is difficult to get rid of pigeons, once they started to stay in a same place. you can use tomatoes and mint in your balcony. Pigeons do not like the smell of mint. I am sure they will leave the place.

    Keeping pigeons away from your property is not that complicated as it seems. A pigeon repellent is a semi toxic spray substance that can be purchased in any pest control store. Netting is another form of physical barrier that stops birds from landing in places that you want to keep them away from.

    This is amazing! I was about to Google this and happened to check mail, when I saw the IL newsletter with this topic.

    I live in an apartment complex and among all the verandahs, pigeons prefer to flock to ours. It is so aggravating - we have had to get rid of our potted plants and other things we kept here. Hanging clothes out to dry is a pain because they perch on the line and it feels as though I am spending half my life yelling "shoo" at them or scraping up their ****.

    But friends - the owl cutout does not work :) I found pigeons assume that it is yet another perch for them. I'd like to try the repellent now, because screening our verandah is not an option. Ugh!

    Here is a good news for all of you facing problems with the pigeons.

    Hang one or two wind chimes (hanging bells) in the balcony and forget about the birds.
    The sound made by the wind chimes will make the birds fly away! Even if there is no wind, the small movements of the birds will be enough for the bells to start singing.
    I live in Canada, and now my balconies are safe and clean back in Kerala with nobody's supervision.

    Using wind chimes is a nice idea. But don't you think it can annoy your neighbors, when wind chimes in the balcony will keep jingling every time.

    In order to get rid of pigeons you should see their behavior and learn more about pigeons.
