Pigeons are a unique bird in that they are equally loved as they are hated. For some, the vision of a woman sitting on a bench and feeding birdseeds to pigeons in a park is a picturesque scene that warms the heart. For others, especially those in densely populated cities like Los Angeles, pigeons are considered a nuisance; dirty birds that leave droppings everywhere and constantly make noise. In fact, the dried waste left by pigeons can actually spread bacteria and infection, though it’s rare for humans to contract diseases because of this.

If you have a pigeon problem at your home, business or residential association, it’s best to call in professional pest control to help you control or eliminate the birds. There are many ways to treat unwanted pigeons that use a variety of tools, traps, repellants and barriers, and a professional can help you determine the best method for the fastest and most effective results.

If you want to try to tackle the problem before you call in the pros, there are some steps that you can take to deter the birds from your property.

• Put up spikes on and around your roof. Oftentimes, this physical barrier will be enough to deter pigeons and their other flying friends from making a pit stop on your property. However, if you live in an apartment, condo or shared building, make sure that you have the authorization to place a permanent structure on the roof.
• Get a fake bird. Pigeons are scared off by larger birds of prey, so a large faux owl or hawk can help to deter them for a while.

Although trying to handle your pigeon problem on your own is probably is a good plan of action, it can be very time consuming and can yield less than optimum results. Then it’s time to call in professional LA pest control.

From a distance, you probably don’t mind watching pigeons fly round and eat. You would rather not experience the bird droppings on your freshly washed car or house windows. Pigeons can be a nuisance for many reasons.

There are health reasons why you should get rid of pigeons. Did you know that pigeon diseases could be transmitted to humans? Sixty known microorganisms have the capability to cause diseases in humans. Even though the risk is small, there are three known diseases – histoplasmosis, cryptococcosis, and psittacosis – all caused by encountering bird droppings. They are all rare, but they do occur. Pigeons are also carriers for fleas, ticks, and mites.

Los Angeles pigeon removal also helps you deal with another disadvantage to having pigeons around – property damage. Pigeon droppings not only cause damage the paint on your vehicle, but it can also damage your house. The acid from their droppings can cause paint discoloration and metal erosion. Their nests can also cause a problem because the nests can clog gutters. Pigeons also use roofs and attics for nesting.

Pigeons, without a doubt, did not inherit a beautiful singing voice. They are noisy creatures that give you another reason to get rid of them from your property. Accuracy Plus is your pest control solution for pests both inside and outside your home. For more information about our services, visit our site or call us at 888-675-0258.

Pigeons can be extremely irritating. When they invade your roof or other areas around your home, they can make quite a bit of noise and constantly leave you messes that need to be cleaned up. More importantly than any of that though, pigeons can become quite a hazard to your health because they carry many diseases with them wherever they go. Because of this it’s very important that you get rid of pigeons when they start to make their nests near your home. But pigeon removal can be a tricky and complicated process and you may find that even after taking some precautionary steps that you’ll still need to call in the professionals.

Start by making sure that there’s nothing around your home, in your attic, or in your gutters that could serve as a food source to pigeons. These birds are mostly known for liking grains such as breads and seeds, but wild pigeons will eat just about anything. Making sure that the areas in and around your home are free of trash, bird seed, and other possible food sources for pigeons is a great way to prevent pigeons from ever coming to your yard.

If you notice that pigeons are nesting in your yard or in your home, you then need to cover up any areas that they are making their home. Things like wooden slats and wire mesh are very effective at detracting pigeons if you lay them down where pigeons like to roost. You can also spray these areas with pigeon repellent, but these repellents often come with chemicals that can be very dangerous for untrained people to use.

These steps are good measures in helping prevent pigeons from making their nest near your home, but some of them may be dangerous, especially when you consider that they most likely involve climbing up into high areas. In addition to that, these steps most likely won’t be enough to get rid of pigeons when they’ve already moved in, and particularly if there is a large amount of the pesky birds. For this reason, calling professional exterminators is the best choice for pigeon removal. Professionals will have all the necessary sprays and chemicals, along with the know-how required to use them, and will have professional tools and tricks to get rid of pigeons around your home. And in addition to all that, you can leave the problem to someone else and not have to worry about those pesky pigeons anymore!

Pigeons are fun when they’re in the park but when they move on to your property they can become a serious nuisance.  They can be noisy, messy and can create structural damage to your home if they move in to the crooks and crannies of your roof or windows.  They are notorious for leaving dirty droppings all over the place and can also carry diseases which may spread to your family or pets.  If you notice a pigeon problem starting on your property, it’s best to nip it in the bud.

The very best way to control pigeons is to exclude them.  That means cleaning out the areas on your home where they have built nests or could potentially start to build them.  Once those areas are cleaned, you can place simple and inexpensive wire mesh or netting around them to prevent the birds from coming back.  The other important thing to remember about controlling pigeons is that if you feed them, they will come.  Make sure you don’t have ready sources of snacks for them around your home or getting rid of them will be an impossible task.

You can try to set up pigeon prevention in your home, or you can call a professional pest control service.  Professionals can take care of your home’s exterior quickly and efficiently with minimal cost simply because they have the experience.  They can also help you spot other problem areas and advise you about additional concerns that they spot while working on your property.

You may be busy with work, school and everything else that your life has going on—but if you continue to put off dealing with your pigeon problem it will only get worse.  You don’t want to risk damage to your property or your family’s health and safety.  For a free Los Angles pest control inspection, give us a call at 888-675-0258 or go to www.accuracypluscalifornia.com.

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.
