We are sorry to learn that you are experiencing difficulties with pigeons at your property and appreciate that this may be very frustrating. It is paramount to us that all landlords have a positive experience with the equipment and ourselves. Birds, their nests and eggs are protected by law, and it is illegal to destroy them except under licence.

We would recommend that you contact a local pest control professional who will be able to advise you about the various options that may be appropriate for your circumstances. You will find details of reputable pest control companies in your area on the British Pest Control Association website, www.bpca.org.uk. Should you choose to engage the services of a third party organisation we would ask that you inform us prior to the works commencing so that we have the opportunity to help you remain compliant with the obligations as defined within the terms of the Lease and also discuss any safety related issues.

We would encourage you not to be tempted to remove the pigeons yourself and to seek guidance from a professional organisation. The British Pest Control Association advise that it is more effective to remove food sources or block off sites where birds perch or roost birds in an effort to control pigeons.
