Hawk Decoys Scare Pest Birds

Are you tired of chasing pigeons off your property? Pigeons are small birds that can be quite destructive. They can be hard on electrical equipment and lighting, and also present health problems – pigeon droppings have been shown to carry up to 60 known diseases.

You don’t have to use noisy deterrents to get rid of pest birds. You can use natural predators to scare the birds away. One of the strongest predators to pigeons and other nuisance birds is a hawk. Hawks are known to speed out of the sky and dive at prey, such as pigeons.

When you set up a decoy of a hawk, it’s important to position the decoy so that its outline is visible and it casts a shadow. This will trick the pigeons and smaller birds into believing that there’s a natural predator – and the best things is to move on.

When it comes to controlling pests, there are always lots of options. Our inspections include preparing recommendations for all kinds of pests around your home, including pigeons.
