Pest ID are pigeon removal and bird control specialists, accredited by the British Pest Control Association (BPCA). We help homes and businesses across Kent and South East London quickly and effectively resolve pigeon problems using safe, humane, and legally compliant methods.
Bird proofing is an innovative and rapidly developing area, with many non-lethal solutions available to protect your property. It’s important to remember that all wild birds, their nests, and eggs are protected by law under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. This means any control measures must be carefully planned to remain compliant while effectively addressing the issue.
If you have solar panels on your roof, pigeons may nest beneath them. In such cases, we offer specialist solar panel pigeon proofing to prevent damage and mess while keeping birds safe.
Our Pigeon Control Methods
We offer a range of proven techniques tailored to your building, location, and the severity of the problem.
Bird netting is one of the most effective and long-lasting solutions, creating a discreet barrier that prevents pigeons and seagulls from accessing perching or nesting spots. It’s particularly suited to large open areas and is often the most cost-effective approach. Pest ID has installed netting at many railway stations in the South East to keep problem birds away without harm.
Bird spikes provide a simple but effective deterrent, stopping pigeons from landing on ledges, signs, or rooflines. Available in plastic or stainless steel, spikes can be installed with weatherproof adhesive to avoid drilling into sensitive surfaces such as lead or plastic.
Bird wire systems use stainless steel tensioned wire to make perching surfaces uncomfortable without affecting the building’s appearance. This discreet option works well on ledges, parapets, and roof ridges, and can be adapted to almost any surface.
Laser scarers are a modern, silent, and non-lethal way to deter birds, using precise beams of light to scare pigeons from a distance — even in daylight. These can be handheld for targeted use or automated for round-the-clock protection.
Electric proofing systems, such as AVISHOCK™, provide a mild but harmless shock to birds when they land on treated surfaces. This discreet, low-cost option is ideal for high-visibility areas where appearance matters.
Optical gels and pastes use visual or sensory deterrents, such as the appearance of fire or the discomfort of cayenne pepper extract, to make perching areas undesirable. These are discreet, quick to install, and effective in breaking a bird’s landing routine.
Audio scarers broadcast programmed distress calls to create an environment pigeons find unsettling. Solar-powered models are available for remote or difficult-to-access sites.
