Each time someone mentions something about pigeon control an interesting idea runs through our mind - are they loyal readers of this blog? We are allowed to consider something like this since we have probably been mentioning all the possible and existing methods to get rid of pigeons out there. However, we have to admin that most of the articles on this blog have been around the eradication of pigeons instead of doing something a little bit wise. That's why today's post is going to be about pigeon damage, what pigeon damage is, how to clean pigeon damage and the most important, how to prevent pigeon damage.
What is Pigeon Damage?
Pigeon damage is everything that is and can be considered in a straight connection with the problems created by pigeons either directly in your house or somewhere near on your property. In most of the cases, the damage created by pigeons mostly consists of their droppings and feces, that have an unbearable smell and that people always want to stay away from. This is why the professional work of cleaning their feces from roof tops and attics is quite well paid - no one ever wants to do it. It is simply disgusting. After all, the whole idea of dealing with pigeon damage is totally disgusting and we are going to talk about this a little bit deeper and further in today's article. It doesn't matter where you live; you have probably stumbled upon a lot of dirt and feces produced by problem birds on various monuments across your city, on the walls of your local church or cathedral or on many other big buildings that have nicely painted walls in bright colors. The droppings appear like someone did it on purpose, while the truth is a little bit different. Pigeons did it, but they simply don't care what you really think.
Any problems related to pigeon damage have their own special solutions that are going to help you. However, the majority of homeowners always seek answers and opportunities to solve their home improvement issues in cheap services and do it yourself methods. Please don't take this as offense, but in case you are rather old and tired you probably have a lot of free time to dedicate to the study of various methods that are going to be effective either in getting the damage provoked by pigeons solve or generally in preventing something like this in the future. On the other hand, if you are young and looking for something to save you time (because time and health are the two most valuable things in this life, frankly speaking) you must always try and hire others to do the most time consuming work for you (sure thing if you can afford it). There are many families out there that don't simply have the necessary financial income to afford contracting professionals to clean the pigeon damage aftermath from their roof or make sure that they install some kind of prevention techniques and make them work.
Trying to get rid of pigeons on your own is not the wisest thing to do if you can afford to hire professionals. If you are a long time (almost 7 months) reader of this blog you probably know that we are totally against ferocious and deadly and brutal methods of pigeon extermination. We always strive to tell people more about what they should do in order to keep it low, keep it safe and run it as efficient as possible. There are many aspects of this life that most of you folks don't want to understand. When contracting people to do a certain work in your household for you, especially dealing with the pigeon damage or just making it dissapear you have to understand that it is extremely necessary to discuss and talk about the methods and techniques that they are going to use in here. Things don't often appear as you want to them to be and sometimes, even when out sourcing this whole work to companies that provide special solutions for your need it is still very important to attentively monitor what they are doing when dealing with this type of damage and destruction on your property.
It is well known that you don't take the necessary prevention methods when talking about any sort of possible destruction caused by some kind of pest we are talking about funds wasted here (first of all). In order something like this not to happen we recommend homeowners and responsible people all over the world to start doing what they do with the help of professionals but pay a really close attention to what kind of methods and techniques are being intensively used. Sometimes, pigeon damage costs people a lot of money and you have to understand that in order to avoid that you should not wait until your house and home is affected by it. Taking action in the meanwhile is crucial in this case. That's why it doesn't really matter if you have moved to this place not a long time ago; reminder: if you spot a lot of pigeons (let the say flocks of pigeons) around you have to make sure that the next morning when you wake up you have good solutions to make them stay away because as a matter of fact you'll have to deal with these issues on a larger scale. This is how it works and this is what you should acknowledge. Prevention of damage caused by problem birds similar to pigeons and pigeons too is much more important than the actual removal of these feathered beings from your lands and aerial space around your house. One has to understand that investment in prevention can be sometimes not only cheaper but also protect you from unpleasant issues in the long run.
How to clean pigeon damage? What is cleaning pigeon damage all about?
At the beginning of this article we talked about the fact that cleaning pigeon damage is a very dirty, unpleasant, smelly and time consuming process. If you moved to a new house and suspect that either the attic, the window shelves or the roof needs a proof cleaning than guess what? You have to actually do it! Well, if you do afford to hire contractors from professional roof cleaning companies you might be alright. Please note down and take into serious consideration that it is going to cost you monies. Don't come back and start attacking us with emails saying that we didn't warn you about these things. Pigeon droppings smell awful and if you are not familiar with the things that we are about to discuss here then you probably have to start investing in discovering some more information what pigeons are, how to they live, what their breeding natural process consists of and why do they nest so publicly therefore causing a lot of damage. It is something extremely interesting and we though that this article and this day is going to be a special occasion for us to talk about these things here on this site.
So, as we mentioned before, cleaning pigeon damage and debris is something that most of the people have to deal with. It is not only necessary to start mass cleaning each time you spot any kind of dirt. We are aimed to insist more on the aspect of prevention on this blog and if you are here to solve your pigeon infestation problems, to find DIY solutions and to find something that is going to protect you from such aspects in the long run then just do it because it is more then interesting to study from people that have something to say. Nowadays, people are extremely confused when dealing with certain pigeon problems. One has to understand that no matter what really happens, it would be very wise to start acquiring and getting more knowledge before testing the waters (like they say). The same a little bit philosophical approach can be implemented when trying to get rid of pigeons and not only, when seeking solutions to clean the damage they cause and also prevent something like this to happen in the future. We are obliged to tell you that for a number or reasons most of the homeonwers that own properties (let it be simply their home or a certain building or a land with various constructions on it) are too overwhelmed by their current activities and pay too little time to pest control, which is a pity in the long run. Please stay tuned and we are going to explain why in a moment.
Take a pencil and note somwhere down that pigeon extermination is not a reliable solution for a respectable house holder. It is much wiser to start getting involved in prevention (for the future) of the problems that you are currently dealing with. Do not worry if the prevention of pigeon damage doesn't offer their fullest support in the long run. It is going to take time and time is the phenomena that makes the different between those people that deserve to know simply, easy and efficient methods of bird (especially pigeon) control and prevention approaches. Physically exterminating pigeons means that you simply kill those that got used to nest around your house. You are not solving the problem, you are just making it disspear from your mind for a limited period of time. However, what we are trying to explain people on this blog is the fact that they actually need to start working harder on achieving long time results that are going to last a longer period in the future they are seing as viable. Don't worry if this doesn't work because you'll have to try several methods till something that is suitable for your house needs claims and appears to be efficient.
How to prevent pigeon damage? Some ways of preventing pigeon damage revealed!
Preventing something from taking place or occuring means that you have to start doing things and working on them each and every day. If you want good results you have to try to do them professionally, you have to get to work, learn, study, implement and reap what you sow in the long run, at the end of the day. The same universal concepts and principles work when someone is directly or indirectly (by hiring professionals or some contractors from a certain company) deals with prevention of pigeon damage. In our opinion there is no magic bullet and there are no simple ways and straightforward solutions that are going to keep pigeons away from your property, thus solving the pigeon damages from the beginning till the end. Something like this is less probably to happen because even if the level of intellect at birds and pigeons is not like human's, these pest birds will always try to find ways to adapt, accommodate to either the physical barriers or something else that you put in their way in order to prevent their intrusion.
Preventing pigeon damage means using different deterrents and methods to keep them away is possible. Nothing special after all. Instead of looking for ways to kill pigeons when dealing with a certain bird infestation at it's fullest you have to work daily on trying new things that are going to keep the unwanted feathered and flying birds away from your house. Yes, simple as that.
Now, we are going to talk about a certain methods that you probably heard about before but never had the chance to actually look into it closer. Some of you, those constant readers of this blog might even laugh. However, we consider that it is just a matter of time till everyone understand the real significance and importance of pigeon spikes, those spikes that are going to help people not only get rid of any type of unwanted birds but also play a great role in the overall prevention issues that most people deal with nowadays. Preventing pigeon damage from happening is possible mostly with the help of different physical deterrents and barriers. If you are going to ask, don't bother, we'll say it ourselves, spikes are extremely nice, spikes are perfect, both when talking about eradication and prevention at the same time.
So take your time and make a proper decision.
Pigeon damage is not something you want to joke about.
The things that we talked about in this post can be applied carefully and the results will come.
Even if you don't succeed from your very first pigeon control attempt don't worry because you'll manage later.
Pigeon management might be considered an art if you seek solutions to do it carefully and non violently!
Bless you all,
