Pigeon Control London
Pigeons are commonly found in many town centres living on buildings near to areas where food and water are readily available.
A nuisance pest bird to many – commonly called flying rats!
Pigeons roost on window ledges, loft areas, under bridges, and inside warehouses.
Once numbers start to increase this is where problems can start.
The most common problem being bird waste which can very quickly build up to the point of becoming a health hazard. You can read more about our bird waste cleaning services in London here.
Bird damage and health concerns
Pigeons by nature are not a destructive bird. The main problem is waste which can corrode building material, block drainage pipes and encourage secondary infestations which attract flies, fleas and maggots.
Associated diseases
Salmonella – often called food poisoning, the bacteria is found in bird droppings which can dry and become dusty and then get sucked into air vents to end up on food or in water.
E.Coli – sometimes birds eat material from cow manure and that creates the risk of e. coli transmission through bird droppings that end up in water supplies or food.
Fungal infections – such as histoplasmosis and cryptococcosis that can affect the lungs or the heart of those infected and are primarily transmitted by seagulls.
Histoplasmosis. This respiratory disease occurs as a result of a fungus growing in pigeon droppings and can be fatal.
Cryptococcus is a yeast-like fungus that lives in the environment. It can be found in soil contaminated by pigeon droppings.
