Professional Pigeon Control You Can Trust
Pigeons can be a major problem for commercial sites throughout the UK, causing issues such as property damage, public health risks and habitat damage by driving away desirable songbirds. Pigeon droppings are both unsightly and highly acidic and these, along with nesting materials, can spread diseases and block drains.
Covering Bradford, Wakefield, Huddersfield, Leeds, Ilkley, West Yorkshire and other regions of the UK, including Sheffield, Blackpool, Manchester, York and beyond, we can offer tailored pigeon control solutions that will protect your property and reputation. While most of our pigeon control work is commercial, we can also offer solar panel pigeon proofing for homeowners.
Our Pigeon Control Process
Throughout the process of removing nuisance pigeons, Copley Pest Solutions will work closely with you to bird proof your site and ensure effective protection from future issues.
When you get in touch, our team will discuss your pigeon problem and will carry out a site survey to identify bird proofing opportunities.
Once we’ve seen the site, we can recommend a selection of bird proofing methods, such as bird netting, bird spikes and others, which will reduce the chances of feral pigeons being able to land on your property.
When you’re happy with the plan, our team will arrange a time convenient to you so we can carry out the installation. This may include using scaffolding or cherry pickers to reach high areas and fit high-quality pigeon proofing solutions that will provide lasting protection.

FAQ
Pigeon Control FAQs
What Causes A Pigeon Problem On Your Commercial Property?
Pigeons are a species that have adapted to many different living conditions, making them more likely to be encountered on your property throughout the year. Pigeons can nest on tree branches in wild habitats. In urban areas, pigeons can be found on windowsills and in building eaves. They will come looking for shelter that’s close to reliable food sources. This can cause issues, as roosting pigeons can leave behind droppings and cause a disturbance.
Are Pigeons Protected By Law?
Pigeons and other wild birds are protected by the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, meaning that you cannot deliberately harm, injure or damage the nest of pigeons without a license. This means that if pigeons nest on your property, you will have to wait until the young fly the nest and it is empty before you can remove it, which is why it is best to deter pigeons using humane bird control methods.
When Is The Pigeon Breeding Season?
Pigeons can breed all year round, but they most commonly nest between March and September. They often build nests and lay eggs earlier in the year, and then take care of the young. Once the eggs hatch, the young pigeons take approximately 30 days before they can fly from the nest.
How Long Do Pigeons Live?
Pigeons have an average lifespan of 6 years, but can live between 5 and 13 years. Pigeons are highly territorial, so once they find a reliable source of shelter, water and food, they will return regularly to breed.
