Pigeon Pest Control 101

There are several methods to get rid of pigeons from a balcony, including:

1. Physical barriers: Install physical barriers such as bird spikes or netting on your balcony to prevent pigeons from landing and nesting.
2. Repellents: Use repellents such as bird gel, bird tape, or bird repellent sprays that create an unpleasant surface for the pigeons to land on.
3. Visual deterrents: Install visual deterrents such as plastic owls or reflective objects that scare the pigeons away.
4. Sound deterrents: Use sound deterrents such as sonic devices that emit high-pitched sounds that pigeons find irritating.
5. Feeding habits: Avoid feeding pigeons as this can attract them to your balcony.

Pigeon droppings can pose several health risks to humans, including:

1. Respiratory issues: Pigeon droppings can contain fungal spores, which when inhaled, can cause respiratory issues such as bronchitis or pneumonia.
2. Histoplasmosis: A fungal infection that can cause fever, cough, and fatigue. It can be contracted by breathing in fungal spores found in bird droppings.
3. Cryptococcosis: Another fungal infection that can affect the central nervous system and the lungs. It can also be contracted by inhaling fungal spores from bird droppings.
4. Salmonellosis: A bacterial infection caused by Salmonella bacteria that can be transmitted to humans through contact with pigeon droppings.
5. E. coli infection: Another bacterial infection that can be transmitted to humans through contact with pigeon droppings.

In addition to health risks, pigeon droppings can also damage buildings, vehicles, and other structures over time. Therefore, it is important to take measures to prevent pigeon droppings from accumulating and to clean them up properly when they do.
