tim armstrong Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I don't think it will work. Pigeons are smart little birds and will avoid anything that smells off. They are the bane of my life. We now have many nesting on our roof. The only thing that really helps is a heavy downpour and a long wet season. They don't like owls much and I'm about to carve an owl face in a prominent tree stump in our garden- maybe it will help. I tried short fuse fireworks from a sling shot, but nearly blew a finger off, so I'd welcome ideas too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaipod Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Hang out some hawk kites and poisoning normally works. You can contact pest control companies also. We had them around our house after the idiot next door decided to start feeding them and we had to put up mesh everywhere to stop them nesting on the windows and balconies and they eventually moved on with us using small fireworks daily.

Farma Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 An old neighbour years ago would mix cement powder with bird seed. That seemed to get rid of them. Last week a couple of flying rats tried to take up residence at my workplace. A slingshot and a couple hundred nuts got rid of them. I'm not the best of shots but it was fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not the best of shots but it was fun. those anti heartburn pills are toxic to a bird as well ,if you put one in a piece of bread and feed it to a big bird like a sea gull it will be dead in 20 min i imagine it works on pidgeons too but u might need to cut the tablets in quarters im sure they would eat any commercial rat poisons as well if you leave plates of it up high somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tim armstrong Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 You're probably right Speed Tripler, but I kind of like pigeons even though they annoy me, so I want to scare them off not kill them. Don't think the same about cockroaches, rats, snakes or mozzies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PiPiFFS Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Get a plastic or concrete bird of prey and place it in a prominent place. They will not stay around for long if they think that a large bird of prey has taken up residence. It is what they use on offshore platform helidecks to keep away birds. Cheap and though not as much fun as shooting them better for the birds 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaiyen Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 In England we used to shoot and eat pigeons, very tasty, so that is solution No 1. Get some life size posters of birds of prey made up and get them laminated and then put them in various positions so the pigeons will see them. Solution No 2. Pigeons are a worldwide problem as are seagulls, starlings and sparrows. When seagulls first arrived in Thailand many years ago in Samut Prakhan, I went to the coast one day and saw that Thai people were buying food to feed the bloody things. I told them that they would eat all the crabs and seafood but they didnt care cos they thought they were pretty !!!!!! Best of luck ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats exactly how they got rid of all the snakes in Cobra Swamp, site of the new airport. The Isaan men cleared them out in no time and had some good food too !

misterphil Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 We have pigeons nesting in our guttering. First I tried pressure washing the nest away but they come back a few days later and built another nest. Then I pulled the nest out of the guttering and put rubber snakes where the nest was, but they come back a few days later and built another nest. So next I pulled out the nest and I bought a huge eagle and put it on the bedroom balcony where they are nesting, but they come back a few days later and built another nest. Called a pest control company and they want 6,000 baht to remove all the nests in the guttering, and they say that they will put down some sort of glue so they can't nest there anymore. Anyone heard of this glue that pest control companies use and does it work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came to Thailand loving all animals except rats and cockroaches, didn't mind killing them but even that has changed from watching my Thai wife deal with these. She showed me how to catch rats that had come into our house (not for eating, I might add....as far as I'm aware anyway 555) and bring them about 3 or 4 kilometers away and release them in a field. I have to say, I feel pretty good since I started doing that....better for sure than how I felt when I was killing them. I am still spiritually defective when it comes to the cockroaches.....but I'm a work in progress....not perfected yet. Have a good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
