The first thing I noticed beside the number of pigeons was all the mess on the garage door. I was sure what was going on but they were pretty content just hanging out in this community. What can you do to keep the population of pigeons down in your neighborhood?

1. Obviously #1 would be not to feed or encourage them.
2. Keep nesting sites unavailable to them, this would include hardware cloth and spikes if necessary.
3. Stationary owls don’t work, they become accustom to the devices.
4. Poisoning is not the answer. I’ve heard of people throwing mothballs into their nesting areas, this could be extremely dangerous to other critters and children.
