Pigeon Repelling – Solutions for your Balcony
Balconies of empty apartments and rear balconies of inhabited apartments are their first choice. Some times they also pose an issue in front balconies.
They usually prefer areas with south orientation (less wind), the existence of objects that provide protection and shelter and balconies on the upper floors(3rd, 4th,…).
To remove pigeons from your balcony (KILLING OR CAPTURING IS ILLEGAL IN GREECE), the following systems are available:
Spike System
Spikes: The best choice to cover small openings or to prevent birds from sitting mainly on horizontal surfaces of limited width. Examples: External A/C units, headlamps, horizontal beams, etc.
The spikes are distinguished according to their construction material, in:
- entirely of polycarbonate
- entirely metallic, usually stainless
- polycarbonate base & metal, stainless steel “nails”
They are distinguished according to their width, from 8-18cm and length per piece, to: 0,33μ, 0,5μ & 1μ.
WARNING: do not place them in areas that someone can fall on them. DANGER OF SERIOUS INJURY
EVALUATION: An effective measure, most of the times, to protect specific points.
(Putting spikes on the handrail, do not prevent pigeons entering the balcony and polluting it)
Installation of Specialized Wire
Wire: very thin cable, 0.45mm, with plastic coating, stretches on special bases and prevents the birds from sitting in rugs or other protrusions.
Its use provides discretionary protection in relation to the placement of pins and safety from the risk of falling on the pins.
EVALUATION : The bird wire is the most discreet system of pigeon control, preventing them from sitting in selected places such as handrails, eaves, signs.
Our company has the widest variety of accessories for the correct installation of this system.
We can also supply it for diy use.
Bird Netting
Netting: used to “close” spaces, small or large, eg balconies or skylights.
It can be installed either inside the tent or externally, without impeding its operation. The net is made of polyethylene and has a 5X5cm “eye” to repel pigeons.
Its durability can reach or exceed 10 years. It is stabilized and stretched with the use of stainless steel wire.
EVALUATION: The ultimate solution for pigeon control. Guaranteed long lasting results.
Its thin thickness (1mm), the large size of the “mesh” 5cm, its color (usually beige) combined with the correct placement, creates an impermeable wall for pigeons with a very low aesthetic burden for the occupants.
There is also the possibility of PARTIAL or TOTAL movement. Installation can also be done by you.
Optical gel repellents
Tablets containing the gel are placed per 25 cm.
The pigeons perceive it as a flame and do not sit in the places where we put the discs.
EVALUATION: Pricey choice, questionable effectiveness.
Bioacoustic systems
Sound devices that replicate bird cries in despair or cries of predators
EVALUATION: Your balcony is “transported” to the jungle. Your neighbors will complain and the pigeons after a while, used to the sound will be back.
Ultrasonic devices
Minimal effect on pigeons, with shorter lifespan.
EVALUATION: Minimal to no effect.
Optical means of repulsion
Minimal effect on pigeons.
EVALUATION: Minimal to no effect.
