When we picture an Edinburgh scene, pigeons are just as much a part of the landscape as the castle and double decker buses. While they evoke a romantic image of our great city, for residents and business owners it can be a very different experience.
Feral pigeons have a well-earned reputation for being pests and carriers of disease, and they can cause expensive damage. They are persistent in their pursuit of a place to roost and can squeeze through the smallest cracks and crevices to make themselves at home. They make very undesirable house guests and can make home and business owners’ lives a misery.
When it comes to bird control, it is wise to seek the advice of a pest control professional such as EES Pest Control. We have years of experience in removing pigeons from both private and commercial properties, and can also offer pigeon proofing services to make sure they do not come back.
We are bird control experts and with our knowledge of pigeon behavior, we can help rid you of them quickly and discreetly. Our services are completely humane and we pride ourselves on our preferred method of control; proofing.
Why you should act quickly to remove pigeons
Pigeons in Edinburgh are far from just a nuisance, they can cause very expensive damage to property and are a potential health hazard, especially on commercial premises. It is wise to act quickly if you spot the signs of a pigeon infestation by employing a pest control expert such as EES.
- Property damage: Pigeons can cause damage to roof tiles and their droppings are highly acidic causing the deterioration of building materials, machinery and cars.
- Fire risk: Pigeon nests are highly flammable and create a fire risk if allowed to build up.
- Health risk: Pigeon droppings carry diseases including salmonella which can cause contamination to food, water supplies and air conditioning units. The detritus they leave behind is a breeding ground for parasites.
It pays to be vigilant for telltale signs of pest birds, such as droppings and other detritus such as twigs and feathers. They also signal their presence with a telltale call; cooing, which is simply unmistakable when they are in vast numbers.
If you think that you have a problem with pigeons, then you should seek the advice of a trusted pest control expert such as EES. Call us to find out more about our tried and tested pest control methods.
