I know the feeling that bothers thousands of home owners across the United States that don’t know where to go and what to do when it comes to pigeon control. Some of them are actually wasting a lot of money on pigeon management products, but believe it or not, birds are birds and a special attitude is required when trying to get rid of them. Most of the methods, techniques and solutions to make pigeons stay away from your home are either temporary or not effective at all. This is the main concern that has been analyzed at the annual bird & wild life control congress in Chicago held this year. I have been present there and had a report about installing and using spikes against pigeons. It’s effective guys, it works and that’s what people need these days.

The first impression that I got after spending a day and a half at that particular seminar/congress was that people are sick and tired of investing a lot of money in various pigeon deterrents and control techniques that appear to be rather stupid at the end of the day. My report received a pretty positive response since everyone knows how important it is to be able to keep pidgeons away without directly killing or harming them. Various homeowners that are fond of hunting and shooting presented some well established complains from international non profit organizations that sued them for violent and non ethical bird removal methods. All you have to know is check your state’s legal aspects before doing something like this.

There where different people that stated that a dead pigeon is better then a living one. I was very affected by this statement and at the end of my report added that we are humans and must not only walk on those two legs in order to prove that we have some brains, but also act wisely and smart. Killing pigeons won’t solve that problem directly. More will be born, because our feathered friends spread pretty fast in a year row. Next year you’ll have to hunt their next generation down, so forth and so on. So don’t get me wrong people, but I had to present that report about how pidgeons spikes really work. There is no mystical aspects behind the basic installation and effectiveness of spikes used to get rid of pigeons for all.

Would you like to know how pidgeon spikes really work? Well, it is simple as drinking a glass of water when you are thirsty. Maybe the comparison is not the best one but you’ll understand that sooner or later it’s all about knowing how to apply that glue that you get when you acquire the plastic spikes. The premier things that requires your attention is locating and finding all the spots around your house where pigeons are roosting and properly noting them down on a piece of paper. Now take a roulete and measure the distance between the point A and B. It’s almost done. Now head to your local hardware store or browse for pidgeon spikes on the internet and get those. Use proper, serious and sticky glue to fix them on your roof, attic and window shelves and you are going to be fine. Expect instant results not only from pigeons,  but from any other birds that come around and create that mess around your property.
