Pigeon Control Services

Pigeons are the UK's most common bird pest. They carry potentially infectious diseases including ornithosis, tuberculosis and salmonella, plus allergens that can be detrimental to human health.

Feral pigeons are well adapted to city life, feeding on food scraps and harbouring in and around buildings. With this comes significant mess: nesting materials and droppings are unsightly, smelly and corrosive to stonework. Whether you need pigeon control in the city or country, JG Pest Control is a specialist provider.

Licensing and the Law

Specialist licensing is required to remove a pigeon nest, and timing matters - certain control methods cannot be used during nesting season. Call JG Pest Control to find out which options are right for your property and the time of year.

A professional bird control team is certified and equipped to do the work quickly, effectively and safely. DIY bird control is not recommended due to the diseases associated with pigeon droppings and nests.
