Effective, Ethical Pigeon Pest Control
Feral pigeons are a persistent urban and rural pest, fouling buildings, spreading disease, and damaging infrastructure. At Sky Raiders, we provide pigeon pest control using the most effective method for each site: falconry, trapping, proofing, or, where necessary, humane culling. As a result, our clients see fast, lasting reductions in pigeon numbers. Nothing goes to landfill—culled birds are used to feed our own birds of prey.
Why Feral Pigeons Are a Problem
- Health Risks: Carriers of salmonella, ornithosis, and other pathogens. In addition, droppings create slip hazards in public spaces.
- Property Damage: Acidic droppings corrode stone, metal, and paint.
- Blocked Gutters & Vents: Nesting debris leads to leaks, mould, and fire risk.
- Public Nuisance: Rooftop flocks attract complaints, especially near food businesses.
- Fast Breeders: A single pair can produce up to 18 chicks per year. Consequently, populations grow quickly without intervention.
Our Pigeon Pest Control Methods
We assess each location individually and use proven tools based on site layout, bird pressure, and access. Therefore, every pigeon pest control programme is tailored.
Birds of Prey
A natural, non-lethal deterrent. Regular falconry flights break up roosts and nesting patterns. As a result, pigeons move on without harm.
Trapping
Where roosting pressure is high, we deploy live-catch traps under licence. We check traps regularly and never deploy them without justification.
Culling
In severe infestations, targeted shooting may be required. However, we only use this method when other options have failed, and always with discretion.
Proofing
We install physical deterrents such as netting, anti-roost spikes, and barriers. Furthermore, this prevents pigeons from returning long-term.
Zero Waste Commitment
We do not discard trapped or culled birds. Instead, carcasses are responsibly used to feed our working birds of prey.
