Pigeon Control Bromley

 

Feral Pigeons are the pest pigeons you may have on your Bromley property. Pigeons/Feral pigeons also known as city doves, street pigeons and even rat with wings. Pigeons originally hail from the domestic pigeon, which was derived from the coastal rock dove. The rock dove, as its name suggests are mainly found near cliffs on our coastlines. Feral pigeons will eat a wide range of foods. Their main diet is seed, grass and berries but they would happily eat insects and spiders and really enjoy the remains of a discarded fast food meal. Because they are not picky eaters they are as at home on a rubbish tip as they will be in your garden and it is this that has earned them the reputation as the rats with wings.

The general rule is if the pigeon has a steady food supply and they find food very easily and plentiful then this is where they will breed. So if you or your neighbours are avid bird lover and leave out feed then this can attract pigeons to your property and they are more than likely to breed there too. Any area in Bromley or any town therefore represent the perfect environment for pigeons, since there is always a plentiful supply of food and food leftovers available. Pigeons usually breed 4 times a year though they can breed up to 6 times a year if the conditions are right. Pigeon infestation in your garden, home or business in Bromley can quickly grow out of hand if not treated correctly and immediately.

If you are not worrying about pigeons passing on diseases to you and your loved ones then you are stressing over the mess they leave on cars and buildings from their droppings. Pigeon droppings not only look awful and defaces buildings they also physically damage buildings and stonework too. Feral pigeons spread diseases which can be dangerous to humans. Examples of these are Psittacosis, Bird Lung (Extrinsic Allergic Alveolitis) and they can aggravate breathing problems and asthma attacks.
