A Little About Pigeons

By Paul Yurn


Extreme pooping upon home and property is a large problem brought on by pigeons. Pigeons can assemble in big flocks on rooftops, utility lines and windows departing a large quantity of feces behind. After large amounts of fecal material has built up it is very unsightly and results in a really strong odor. When the pigeon waste materials are found on paths it may cause slips as well as accidents and create a liability to home and business owners.

Pigeons transport ectoparasites including bed bugs, chicken mites and yellow mealworms. These parasites can work their way inside homes and then can come in contact with people. A few of the numerous diseases that they can transmit by means of their feces include: salmonella, encephalitis, meningitis, histoplasmosis and also cryptococcosis.

Pigeon overpopulation inside an area could be a major issue, typically triggered from an convenient supply of housing and meals. Individuals feeding pigeons daily, in addition to litter and trash bins packed with readily available food, brings pigeons back time and again making a cyclical problem.

The urates found in pigeon fecal matter is quite corrosive and may cause serious destruction to roofs and air conditioning gear. Paint may be eaten away from this acidity unless it is removed from the surface. Over time the cleaning and maintenance to roofing and fixtures could become quite pricey.

Pigeons will probably collect on roof ledges and rain gutters where their feathers, feces as well as nest materials may clog up the gutters. The gutters must be emptied out frequently, otherwise throughout rainy periods it won't operate correctly and the feces and nesting materials will block the gutters causing water to overflow.

Pigeons and doves live essentially everywhere in the planet except for exceptionally extreme habitats such as the Sahara Desert and Antarctica. They've already spread all through Australia, Europe, North America, and South America, residing from big cities, to tropical rainforests. The species has adjusted to almost every environment available, so it's no wonder pigeons are known all over the world.
