moogradod Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 (edited) Does anybody have a working strategy for preventing pigeons entering the terrace/balcony, like installing blinking things maybe, in Switzerland you can buy fake crows but we have asked for some and it seems they are not availiable here.

sfokevin Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 If they seem to nest in a certain spot... get a small jar of petroleum jelly and cayenne pepper and mix them together... slather dollops on the spot they seem to like to land... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadbury Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Put your missus or girlfriend out there to shoo them away. Ratsack might be another option or find yourself a stuffed cat to sit on the chair. Seriously you can buy a small battery driven device that makes a noise like a cat. About the size of a thick mobile phone. That might do the job; especially combined with a lookalike cat.

dorayme Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Rubber snakes don't work. I've tried it. The CD's do. The best thing is tiger urine. If you don't have it try what you do have. You won't smell it but it works. I had them nesting in a flower pot. I put some in the pot and they don't come anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starky Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Pellet gun/ air rifle...pigeons are smarter than plastic owls, Hawks or rubber snakes. Once they have found a roosting spot they won't leave unless it is dangerous to stay where they are. If you are an animal lover you don't have to shoot them but instead just make life unbearable and they will go somewhere else, or shoot them if you want a quicker result lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not meant to be a flame, but I can't help asking. "The best thing is tiger urine.

soistalker Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 In my condo, they seem to prefer balconies where the tenants are away. When they do come to my balcony, I scream loudly and go onto the deck and scream more as they fly away. It seems to deter them from coming back for a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I try some drops of the tiger urine I ususally keep in the kitchen.... Seriously, thanks for alle the suggestions, I have actually seen CDs hanging on balconies. Will be a trial and error thing I suppose. And finally the solution must not disturb us either, OK, the CDs may be removed when we are sitting out there.

I bought that thing in Bangkok, can't quite remember where but I think it was MBK. I doesn't make a loud or offensive noise but enough for the birds to hear it. The soi motorbike taxis boys could probably help with a freshly stuffed cat; providing the price was right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James2020 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 'Bird Spikes' are available at Home Pro and on Lazada. We've used them at our townhouse for a couple of months, and so far, they seem to work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boonchu Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 If the birds are higher up you can put bird spikes on the ledges, these are available at HomePro. The pikes work very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dotpoom Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I was actually considering this problem yesterday and this is the idea I came up with.... Cover the existing metal circular railings with larger pvc pipes....(the only way I can think to achieve this is to saw/slice the pvc pipe down one side and lever it open wide enough to slip over the metal railing)....this hopefully will "swivel" when Mr. and Mrs. pigeon attempt to land on said railing...you know what I mean? like those loggers that roll the logs downriver with their feet. Maybe the pigeons might be too light for this to happen....but methinks not. Pic. attached might work too 555. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
