What's Bugging You? Pigeon Problems

Pigeons are more than a mild inconvenience—they can cause extensive property damage, spread diseases, and leave unsightly messes in public and private spaces. In a recent interview, Mike Swanson from Preventive Pest Control provided insights into why pigeons are so prevalent, the health risks they pose, and effective ways to manage them. Swanson explained that the abundance of human-generated waste supplies pigeons with ample food, making populated areas a haven for these birds. Pigeon droppings, he warned, contain fungi that can lead to serious respiratory illnesses, especially in individuals with weakened immune systems. Swanson advised taking preventive measures, such as sealing entry points and installing deterrents like spikes or netting. He emphasized that a multi-faceted approach, possibly involving professional help, is often the most effective for ongoing pigeon issues.
