Pigeon Removal and Trapping
At some point after eliminating all the best places for pigeons to nest and roost, pigeon trapping and or Pigeon removal may become necessary. At Pigeonpros we try really hard to avoid trapping the pigeons, however it becomes necessary when all other avenues are exhausted and the pigeons are still there.
Pigeons are Homing Birds
Pigeon removal is necessary sometimes
Pigeon removal by trapping is necessary sometimes. Why? Pigeons are homing birds. What exactly does that mean? Homing birds. Pigeons are flocking birds, meaning they live in groups. These groups of pigeons are related, they are a family of pigeons living together.
What Does Homing Pigeon Mean?
In a natural setting pigeons will live their entire lives in and around the same nest which will produce baby pigeons consistently for as long as the nest is left alone. A pigeon wants to stay where it was born. This is called homing. All pigeons are homing birds.
Pigeons actually have the uncanny ability to find their way home from long distances. Pigeons have been known to find their way home from a 1000 miles away. This takes “homing” to a whole new level. The urge a pigeon has to stay where it was born is very strong.
Can you relocate a pigeon?
Most of the time pigeons will relocate once the place they are nesting in and perching on is correctly deterred. In some cases however, the pigeons won’t go. This happens more in situations where the pigeons have been in a place for years and years, which means many, many generations of pigeons have been born onto the same structure.
Pigeon Removal by Trapping is Humane
Pigeon removal by trapping is a humane and effective way to eliminate the pigeons that won’t leave a structure once all the deterrents have been installed.
We always wait to see if trapping or pigeon removal will be needed, because usually the pigeons will leave before trapping becomes necessary.
Once we are sure that they won’t go, we proceed to trap. This involves baiting pigeons. We won’t get into exactly how Pigeonpros deploys and traps the pigeons because this is information we don’t share. Suffice to say, the pigeons have plenty of food and water and shade in the traps.
Why Pigeon removal and trapping works combined with effective deterrents
Pigeon removal and trapping works with effective and correctly installed deterrents. Why? The answer lies in the fact that your pigeon problem is not just random birds landing on your property. The pigeons at your place, are the same ones everyday, which makes sense when you think about the homing nature of pigeons. So, when done correctly, trapping along with the correct deterrents will eliminate your pigeon problem for good.
