Why DIY Methods Always Fail
Save yourself time, money, and frustration. Here's why store-bought solutions don't work:
Bird Spikes
Problem: Pigeons adapt by nesting between or around the spikes
Result: Ineffective long-term deterrent

Reflective Tape
Problem: Pigeons quickly become accustomed to the tape and ignore it
Result: Ineffective for long-term pigeon control
Netting
Problem: Pigeons can find gaps or weak spots in the netting
Result: Only partially effective and often bypassed
Homemade Chili Pepper Spray
Problem: Pigeons quickly become desensitized to the smell and taste
Result: Ineffective for long-term control
