We feel that keeping pigeons away from urban environments is the first order of business and our strategies have been designed and tested to achieve this challenge. We are happy to advise property owners what controls we think would be most effective and which ones they should adopt to get rid of their pigeon nuisance problems.

Pigeon Nuisance Problems and Why You Should be Worried

Two of the biggest happenings that are the root of very serious problems are:

• The amount of feces (droppings) that pigeons produce
• The buildup of pigeon feces on buildings and other structures that are visually unappealing and become acidic that will erode metals and other materials such as stonework, concrete, etc.

Serious Consequences That can be attributed to Pigeon Droppings

1-Health Issues: Respiratory diseases such as Cryptococcosis, Histoplasmosis and Psittacosis can result from pigeon feces. Breathing in dust created by cleaning droppings can cause infections as well as food poisoning.

2-Safety Concerns: Pigeon feces are messy causing the risk of foot slippage on paved areas such as parking lots and paths

3-Damage to Structures: Pigeon droppings are very acidic and in a short period of time can cause extensive damage to properties, buildings and other structures. It has been documented that the eroding affect of pigeon droppings might have contributed in some way to the collapse of the Minnesota Interstate Bridge.

4-Drainage Problems: Pigeons nesting in gutters and downspouts cause blockage and water backup and other drainage issues that can be expensive to repair.

5-Noise: Some who are experiencing Pigeon intrusion on their property find that constant cooing can become very annoying and troublesome.

So what can be done to  control and eliminate the serious problems caused by Pigeon droppings?

Our Eagle Based System is a viable Pigeon Control Strategy

Control Strategies

• The bald eagle tops the list of natural predators of Pigeons. The controlled use of “Chase”, our screeching eagle, is a primary aggressive scaring tactic that can be used on balconies, decks, porches and other properties. Chase can be hand-held or easily suspended from the cantilevered arm on the eagle derrick, from available clotheslines or from any adjacent tree branches. 
• Screeching is unobtrusive and controlled using Bluetooth Technology from 35 to 40 feet away using a cell phone to transmit eagle cries to the weather-proof speaker attached to Chase. The speaker should be activated as much as possible when pigeons are nearby  but especially if they are looking for areas to nest.
• Multi-use structural base for table top setups. By-laws and building codes stipulate that the top of a bacony or porch railing be a minimum of 42 inches above floor level. Our table top arrangement permits Chase to be installed above the railing so that he becomes a visual detterent to any approaching pigeons. This set up eliminates the need for railing pigeon spikes or netting.
• The derrick which fits firmly  into the multi-use base, has been designed  so that it can be used on balconies where no suspension hooks are allowed, and can easily be moved to various urban areas on a daily basis. Pigeons are very smart and will quickly get used to any stationary installations. 
• The addition of a motion activated, sensor  should be considered as a first line of pigeon defense, especially when no one is  available to activate the Bluetooth speaker with eagle screeching cries.Please refer to test video below.

The following videos and images show the vatious ways that scaring strategies can be used on balconies, decks, porches and patios.
