Pigeon Pest Control
Pigeon pest control is important for businesses and property owners dealing with persistent roosting, nesting and fouling problems. Pigeons can gather on roofs, ledges, balconies, signs and other parts of buildings, creating hygiene concerns and potential damage to property.
Effective pigeon control focuses on preventing access to problem areas rather than relying only on temporary deterrents. Depending on the building and the severity of the infestation, suitable solutions may include pigeon netting, bird spikes, exclusion systems and other professional bird-control measures.
At Central Pest Control, we provide practical pigeon pest control solutions designed to help businesses protect their properties and reduce recurring pigeon problems.
Pigeons (columbae)
Professional Pigeon Pest Control Services
Feral pigeons foul buildings, creating unwanted “stained glass” windows and “decorated” architecture. All sorts of pests may migrate from their nests into buildings.
Birds such as Pigeons carry a variety of diseases such as Ornithosis, Listeria and E-coli that can be transmitted to man not only from the droppings but also the birds themselves. When dry, pigeon droppings can become airborne in small particles, which can lead to respiratory complaints such as psittacosis.
Closely linked to Pigeon activity such as nesting are parasites such as mites, ticks, fleas and beetles. So if you have a current or past problem with birds and have done nothing, you may find you’ll suffer from a parasite infestation too.

Pigeon Control And Wildlife Regulations In Ireland
Pigeon control should be carried out with consideration for applicable wildlife regulations. In Ireland, wild birds are protected under national and EU law, although specific provisions allow control in certain circumstances, including where protected wild birds are causing serious damage to buildings or other property.
For more information about the requirements and permissions that may apply, see the National Parks & Wildlife Service guidance on controlling protected wild birds.
Where necessary, professional advice should be obtained before any action that could affect birds, nests or eggs.
