Pigeon Bird Control Information

Pigeon pose a risk to public health for several reasons. The damage and contaminate food with their droppings and feathers. Have health effects, since more than 60 diseases are associated (though not considered as vectors), such as salmonellosis, ornithosis, cryptococcosis, Hialoplasmosis and allergic alveolitis. They can act (both they and their droppings) as reservoirs of pathogens that affect to humans and pets. They are carriers of ectoparasites such as ticks, fleas, lice, etc. pigeon droppings are very slippery on the pavement, on especially when it rains, being the cause of accidents and can also cause other problems such as:

- Create the dirt with their droppings, which contain substances acid, which are very aggressive in building materials such as stone and cause corrosion on metallic surfaces.

- The seagulls can bring problems special cause noise pollution, with a pile of garbage and excrement, damage to buildings, and even attack people and pets that cause this adverse effect against tourism.

Depending on whether

Depending on the pressure you are under the protection of the site.

To determine the kind of pressure from birds to make a delicate exploration and consider a series of questions such as:

- Why use this place to land?

- The birds nest in the place?

- Overnight stay there?

- Is it a place from which to make your meals or sometimes perch?

Therefore, the pressure is defined by the number of birds arriving at the site concerned and so are not there, being able to distinguish three types of pressure:

Low pressure: are those areas where birds are from time to time. Often they are exposed, such as railings or parapets (top of a balcony or balustrade). These areas can be treated with almost any type of product.

Average pressure: Are those areas that are regularly used for perching birds. Generally are about to feed. Are typically used during the day. The birds return to try to overcome these areas and prevention systems, so it must be sufficiently robust. If the birds can not go to these places, and will be the closest. In these areas it is advisable to use network systems, or barbed wire carefully. When use the cable system would be desirable to reduce the population through the interception.

High blood pressure: Are those areas used by birds during the night and nests. The birds showed great persistence in the desire to return to them in spite of exclusion systems useless since many systems of protection. In these cases, the only network systems, but the spikes, the system can work, but would improve with an entrapment of the population. If allowed, it could eliminate some birds with a rifle, if that can not be captured. These areas are often very sheltered places and has a pile of excrement. Here are the sites nesting, being in the case of pigeons can be anywhere, with little material support.

Depending on the type of pressure that the birds carry these or other measures taken, in a building can be subjected to various forms of pressure.

METHODS OF INSPECTION

Some of these methods of extermination of pigeons are:

Baits with narcotics

The chemicals are mixed with food. These substances have the active material and alfacloralosa Seconal. With this substance get numb to the birds so we can remove it. But it has many drawbacks:

You can take any other animal.

It is difficult estimate the dose, because you must eat enough to numb them.

In summary, this method is complicated.

Trapping

It is possible that a measure is often used with the pigeons. target = "_blank" title = "control products pigeon"> control products pigeon is merely figurative, for while not removed the power supply or access is not impeded, the birds keep coming to these places.

This method is very useful as an adjunct to the prevention systems, such as title = "beaks of birds of control"> points or control rods of birds and animals that pigeons are very persistent and try to go to places that have been treated so they can be trapped in cages.

These cages are placed in quiet areas and is essential that people with "good intentions" do not release the birds.

We must put food in (pre-fattening), and leaves the door open for familiarity dove take 5 to 10 days. After this time, special doors down, but he let out. Doves are trapped for several days to serve as a credit to others, constant supply of food is very important for birds are not stressed. Because of this constant maintenance manpower is very expensive. The method is widely used in municipalities.

The cages can be extended to the pigeons and sparrows.

Leeway

In some cases, their use is essential and needed permits. Used air guns, especially a very persistent birds that can threaten an entire system of protection.

The elimination of nests and eggs

You can remove the nests and eggs to prevent reproduction. By eliminating the birds usually lay eggs again, that instead of eliminating what it does is drill, put the oil (to prevent diffusion of O2 in the egg) not to hatch, and so on. This is a very laborious and impractical.

The problems posed control methods are:

- The legal provisions.

- Reaction from the public.

- Effect "empty"

PREVENTION SYSTEMS

Networks

Networks prevent the passage of birds within the protected area and its posamiento in it, being able to use this system to protect buildings from almost all species that create problems, being in the case of the sparrows and starlings, the method only is useful, as in high pressure situations against pigeons and seagulls.

There three models ranging in screen size, the choice depends on type of bird that needs to be protected against the house:

- Pigeons: 50 mm.

- Starlings: 29 mm.

- Sparrows: 19 mm.

Each thread network is put together with 7 polyethylene and polypropylene fibers with a thickness of less than 10 denier twisted (the higher this number is thicker than the braid). Each individual fiber has a breaking strength of more than 20 kilograms and is chemically prepared to give a high resistance to ultraviolet rays. In the manufacturing process to stabilize the network predilata by applying a voltage of 9 tons and injection of steam at 100 º C, thus ensuring the failure of the bank or dilation with a minimum of 10 years. In addition withstand the high temperatures (up to 120 ° C without softening and up to 130 ° C without melting).

The meshes are presented in rolls of 10 m2, black, stone and translucent. The black mesh is used most often because the others are just dirt. A factory can be ordered in different sizes, but must be asked for a minimum of 20 days in advance.

System skewers

They consist of a crowd, a group of stainless steel spikes hardened the project out at all angles. The tines are subject to a solid foundation that can be installed on window sills, ledges, eaves, etc.. or any tendency to raise the birds. These threads violate Sharp discomfort in birds, preventing them to land on these surfaces. The cornices other niches to be filled completely to achieve an overall efficiency. Large surfaces may require two or more rows and rows of spines in parallel.

Barbed wire can be very effective, but should Carefully follow the installation instructions provided by the manufacturer. If left too much space between the building and fences or between rows of peaks, birds can take advantage of this and build their nests on the wire, creating the problem again. Also, the cables must be inspected and cleaned periodically to remove dirt, like branches, leaves, etc. Because this trash can protect the sparrows of the effects of sharp projections and continued use of this area of building

These systems are useful in situations of medium and high pressure, however this system is not recommended for high blood pressure. If the birds are sleeping, nesting can not be valid, but not in all cases.

Spikes are on the field-resistant special plastic. The base can be fixed with screws, but most used is a special silicone. It is essential that the substrate is clean and dry to stick well.

Depending on the type of birds can classify the different types of skewers.

Method of placement

Skewers systems are very easy to place, how hard is to do well. The first row of spikes must be consistent with the projection (for example), peak shape is more external than protruding from it.

The maximum space that may exist between the peaks is 6 cm, and that is the minimum distance of a dove to alight.

In the protection of the fence overlooking the area where food is.

There skewers Special gulls, which are large.

There are peaks of a single point that only cover an area of 4 to 5 cm.

The biggest drawback is its cost is high.

Systems poles and wires

It is a very useful system for pigeons and gulls in low pressure situations, and employees can also be used with care in situations medium pressure, especially if accompanied by a reduction of the population through the interception. This is a cheap system that can be used in almost any place.

Method of placement

The Poles are placed every 1.5 m, with participation in a block of nylon. There are areas that can not be drilled, therefore continue with the silicone base of specialty plastic poles. When the use of silicone should expect it to dry for 24 hours, keep the birds away all this time

The first row of the structure should be lower so that the birds do not enter through the bottom, or use poles with holes at different heights.

Just like the first line of wire should be oblique.

Between each line of wire should be a maximum difference of 5 cm.

By placing parallel lines, the springs to be rotated in order to avoid the pigeons did not land on them.

The cables can go in some cases attached to the wall, without using the poles.

There are posts that have more than one hole at different heights. These can be placed in a line of "clothing" protection of the top of the pole with a wire so they do not pose a bird. This cable is also used in places where long strips are used to act as a reinforcement to prevent bending these positions.

The posts are also presented with tweezers to apply a different diameter pipes, gutters, etc..

This system is not effective against starlings.

Alternative systems: Repellents

Repellents have been used for years to scare away the birds of the empty buildings where sleep or nest trees. Repellents are usually designed to affect one or more aspects of the birds because of the alarm and leave the area or its activities Leisure and awareness, feel uncomfortable. There are four different types of bird repellents:

1. Touch

2. Sound

3. Olfactory

4. Visual

For most of the problems with birds in urban and industrial areas, tactile repellents are available for the professional. There are two types of tactile repellents: mechanical and chemical

Contact Repellent

Mechanical

So far we have seen several repellents mechanical (barbed wire and networks), but other less important

- Tippler

It is used to the seagulls. It is a system which gives the bird can perch comfortably.

- Cables "source"

These are the strings that move the air as the source. It is a good method for situations industrial deposits such as circulars, etc..

- Spiral

Palomas is a system for low pressure situations. The spring is attached to substrate with silicone or with pins. It is a very economical and easy to install.

Chemistry

- Gels

They are the most used industry in pest repellent and available in gels, pastes, spray and aerosol cans for small jobs vary considerably of some chemical repellents are thick and sticky, some are of gelatin, and some are so sufficiently viscous to be sprayed.

In general, these repellents containing polyethylene or polibutioleno. These substances are toxic to birds and do not transmit the sensation of heat in the feet of the birds when they land on them, making to move from perch and to settle elsewhere

For best results, all surfaces should be cleaned of all debris, dirt and bird droppings before applying any repellent. Non-porous surfaces such as metal, do not require additional activities, but porous surfaces like brick and stone wood should be completely sealed with a sealant, adhesive and fluid into the interior of such materials. Waterproof tape can be placed on the surface where it will be repellent bird, but if the seal on the surface is dry the substance is inadequate to reduce the waste product.

The effectiveness of chemical repellents is lost in time, however, if the dust, dirt, moisture, heat or cold are the reduction of life of these products.

Disadvantages to be considered:

1. In areas frequented by people who look ugly

2. They can be annoying for the cleaning staff

3. Pigeons can throw sticks and other materials in the repellent, which is clear

4. Only useful for small jobs.

Visual Repellents

They include the use of lights, fake owls, snakes, scarecrows, balloons and other devices. Some have limited use agricultural subsidies for crops, but generally not very effective in all urban and industrial environments. In these situations have an effect over a very short period of time, as they tend to ignore next

target = "_blank" title = "Ultrasonic Pigeon Bird Control Devices"> Ultrasonic Pigeon Bird Control Devices

These include loud noises and sudden and unusual (explosions, alarm speakers, recordings, etc.). It has little effect that adapt well to the sounds of birds, in addition to this noise in the urban environment can be more bothersome to people.
