Humane and effective pigeon removal, proofing, and guano cleaning for homes and businesses. BPCA-trained bird control specialists.
Professional Feral Pigeon Control in Hertfordshire
Pigeons might seem harmless, but in Hertfordshire they are a major urban pest.
They cause costly property damage, spread disease, and leave hazardous droppings that can carry harmful bacteria and fungi.
Feral Pigeons Cause Damage, Mess, and Health Risks
Why pigeons are a serious issue:
Acidic droppings damage roofs, stonework, and paintwork.
Guano build-up creates slip hazards and attracts other pests like mites and beetles.
Pigeon nests block gutters and vents, leading to water damage.
Diseases linked to pigeon droppings include Histoplasmosis and Psittacosis.
