When it comes to pigeons, the chemical is very effective on them. For the baiting, let pigeons consume the grain each day. This would be helpful in knowing the amount needed for baiting and pre-baiting. For the pigeon control in urban areas, it is not desirable to have excessive bird mortality. In order to have the minimum of mortalities, the bait should be mixed with untreated grain of the same opposition. There should be the usage of trays nearly two or four feet with sides measuring one inch. The trays must be put in areas that are very accessible and visible to the pigeons. It is important to note that the reacting or dead birds in the public areas could be very alarming to those who pass. Therefore it is important that one is able to collect and throw away any of the dead birds on a regular basis. This is especially the case when there would be unpleasant reaction from the public to this. Just like it has been clearly spelt out on the label, therefore when using chemical, the dead birds should be taken out and thrown away by means of incineration or burial.
Pigeon control isn't an impossible matter, however, and many cities have employed successful integrated pigeon management programs to reduce populations, thus hindering the physical, economic, and health damages associated with these pest birds. The following steps serve as bird proof methods to the private property owner as to how to get rid of pigeons, or at least make their property less attractive to the pigeon population, which are: shooting pigeons may not be a good idea but for getting rid of pigeons, it should be considered, using live traps to get rid of pigeons is possible and seems to be the most effective form of population control in urban areas, bird netting or stainless steel wire mesh fencing can be used to get rid of pigeons by excluding them from their typical roosting sites, bird strips, as they've been aptly named are another good way to get rid of pigeons by reducing roosting sites, bird scarers or bird alarms are another bird proof methods to get rid of pigeons but their effectiveness is questionable.
For chemical bird control or pigeon control, there are two choices: pigeon poison or pigeon repellent. One of the more common bird proof poison brands is as effective as poison to pigeon control. The reality is probably closer to this: birds in the pigeon flock get sick and die, and the rest of the pigeons either get the picture and move on, or they take the proverbial kool-aid and join their friends in birdy heaven.
