How to Keep Birds & Pigeons Off Ledges
Pigeons and birds can often cause problems on your home. They may become attracted to the ledges as they offer a safe roosting or nesting site with possible access to a constant food source.
One of our customers explained:
We had new neighbours moving in recently, who have been throwing bread onto the lawn for the birds. Unfortunately, they did not seem to realise that this only tends to attract pigeons, and we were inundated with many pigeons congregating around our house and next door, sitting on our top two windows, which have a small ledge protruding. We have a conservatory below, and the consequential mess on the glass roof was awful.
After speaking to a member of our helpful team and explaining the issue, we were able to advise the homeowner to install the correct Defender® Pigeon Deterrent Spikes along the affected ledges. Once installed, the bird deterrents quickly stopped the pigeon problem and moved the birds along humanely without injuring them. The spikes simply make it uncomfortable for the birds to land and they move on to an easier roosting site, in this case back to the neighbour who was creating the issue by feeding the unwanted birds.
After a successful installation the customer explained: "We ordered the spikes and since fitting, a simple job, the birds now sit permanently on next door’s window ledges! No more messy windows on our side..."
