What
Damage to pigeons do? Fouling of Buildings. Fouling occurs where
birds nest or roost. Apart from being unsightly, the
acidic droppings can erode stonework resulting in costly
long term damage. Gutters and drainpipes can become
blocked causing flooding. Ladders and fire escapes can
become coated with droppings, making them unsafe to
use. Droopings can also cause havvoc with AC units and
electricial systems.
What
bait should I use for pigeons?
Pigeons prefer to eat corns such as maize and pulses
like peas. In the wild, they will eat virtually anything
offered to them because they are perpetually starving.
Most areas with pigeon problems are commercial areas
such as ball parks, schools, and anywhere pideons are
feed by humans.
Where
should I place pigeons
traps?
Pigeons can be taken in live traps placed on flat building
roofs where birds roost or on the ground where the birds
feed. They enter traps readily, especially during winter
when food is scarce. Prebait an area with corn or mixed
wheat and cracked corn to accustom the birds to feeding
in a selected location. Then place the trap, and maintain
bait inside with the door rods or bobs tied open with
a string. After several days the birds will be conditioned
to entering and leaving the trap, and you can remove
the string and allow the bobs to close. Door rods or
bobs that open in only one direction allow birds to
enter the trap but prevent their escape.Most of the
pigeons will be captured in a few days. Several pigeons
can be left in the traps to serve as decoys to lure
others into the trap. Water should be provided. Visit
the trap every day to remove the trapped pigeons and
to add bait as needed. Bob-type entrances similar to
designs shown can be built or purchased.
