Professional Pigeon Control Services
Pigeons are one of the most common bird pests in the UK, next to seagulls. They 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. So, if you are experiencing pigeon problems on your property, contact Integrum to arrange a free site audit and to learn more about our guaranteed pigeon control and bird proofing services.
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.

Why Control Pigeons?
If you own a business such as a shop or a restaurant, you will know the damage a bird infestation can cause and the risks they present to customers and staff.
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 bird droppings, 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
Guano 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.
