Professional Pigeon Control Services
Pigeons are one of the most common bird pests in the UK, next to seagulls. Pigeons are primarily attracted to discarded food waste which encourages pest behaviour in high-traffic areas such as city centres and seaside towns. Groups of pigeons will roost together on top of building structures, leading to nuisance behaviour and a lot of disturbance.
The pigeon population in London is incredibly large, and they are protected by law, so it can be difficult to remove pigeons once they make your property their home. As such, the best technique is to prevent pigeons from accessing your roof or any other part of your building. Whether you need commercial pigeon proofing or solar panel proofing for your home, Integrum Services has trained professionals on hand to help.
Integrum has worked with Gatwick and Heathrow Airport to keep their runways and hangers free from pigeons. Therefore, we understand the need for successful pigeon control to protect public safety. In addition to our pigeon control services, we regularly carry out pigeon proofing solar panel jobs. This ensures birds cannot nest underneath solar panels and damage the electrical elements.
Integrum is also trusted by waste management companies nationwide, our integrated pest control landfill sites service ensures consistent results, proactive monitoring, and reliable support across the UK, helping operators protect their sites, staff, and reputation.

Why Control Pigeons?
Feral pigeons can cause serious issues for homes and businesses. Whether it is the damage caused by pigeon waste or the noise from pigeons scrambling about, they can be irritating pests.
Guano
Pigeon droppings are highly acidic, corroding paintwork and building structures. As a result, a pigeon infestation could cause severe damage to your property if left untreated. In addition, first impressions are critical. Therefore, if the exterior of your business is covered in pigeon guano, it can look unprofessional and send out the wrong message.
Damage
Pigeons nest all year round, but during heightened activity in March and July, nesting material can build up, causing significant damage. Gutters can become blocked, and stock can be damaged if pigeons find an entry point into your warehouse.
Diseases
Pigeons carry many diseases, primarily in their guano, which could make you, your staff and your customers sick. The most common diseases carried include E.Coli, Salmonellosis and Histoplasmosis.
Hazards
Bird droppings can cause a severe safety hazard as it is very slippery, and as a result, you risk customer and staff injury. In addition, nesting attracts other insects, such as bird mites, fleas, beetles and ticks.

Learn MoreFeral Pigeons vs Wood Pigeons
Feral and wood pigeons are two distinct bird species in the UK. Feral pigeons are smaller and primarily blue-grey, while wood pigeons are larger. They adapt well to urban areas and form flocks, whereas wood pigeons prefer rural habitats and are solitary or in small groups. Feral pigeons have a flexible diet, including human scraps, while wood pigeons primarily eat plants.
Controlling these birds is regulated by laws. Feral pigeons, considered pests, fall under local authority control. Measures like bird spikes or netting are used to deter them from buildings. Wood pigeons, protected under The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, require specific permissions for control.
Wood pigeons are the largest species of pigeon found in the UK, and while they spend a lot of their time in the countryside, you might also notice them in urban areas.
