How to do it:
Install reflective tape or old CDs around your goods to scare pigeons away. Place plastic owl decoys nearby. Use netting or mesh to physically block pigeons from accessing your goods. Keep the area clean and remove food sources.

Result:
These methods can deter pigeons, reducing damage to your goods and keeping the area cleaner.

Problem:
Pigeons may become accustomed to decoys or reflective objects over time, making these methods less effective. Netting can be damaged or improperly installed.

How to do it:
Mix equal parts water and white vinegar in a spray bottle. Spray the solution on surfaces where pigeons perch or damage goods. Place reflective objects like old CDs or aluminum foil strips nearby to deter them.

Result:
Pigeons dislike the smell of vinegar and are startled by reflective surfaces, making them less likely to approach or damage your goods.

Problem:
Pigeons may become accustomed to the smell or visuals over time, reducing the method’s effectiveness. Frequent reapplication and changing deterrents may be needed.

How to do it:
Physically remove pigeons and block their access points to prevent them from reaching your goods.

Result:

• Regularly inspect and remove pigeons from affected areas
• Seal entry points with wire mesh or netting
• Install bird spikes or sloped surfaces on ledges
• Use decoys or visual deterrents to discourage roosting
• Maintain cleanliness to avoid attracting pigeons

Problem:
Pigeons may find new entry points or become accustomed to deterrents, making the method less effective over time.

How to do it: Use natural predators or deterrents to keep pigeons away from your house.

Result:

• Place plastic owls or hawk decoys near entry points.
• Install reflective tape or old CDs to scare pigeons.
• Use netting or wire mesh to block access.
• Encourage predatory birds by installing birdhouses for falcons or hawks.
• Apply non-toxic bird repellent gel on ledges.

Problem: Pigeons may get used to decoys or deterrents over time, reducing effectiveness. Predatory birds may not stay in the area.

How to do it:
Mix chili powder or crushed pepper with water and spray the solution on surfaces where pigeons perch or damage goods. Reapply every few days, especially after rain.

Result:
Pigeons avoid treated areas due to irritation from the chemicals, reducing damage to goods.

Problem:
This method may fail if rain washes away the solution, pigeons adapt, or if the chemical concentration is too weak to deter them.
