Pigeons just love new things, Pigeon Patrol Staff came across this bridge of a situation.
For some reason, pigeons have marked off a very clear patch of the new Hastings bridge as their own. They apparently have no interest in spending time on any other part of the bridge. Rather, they congregate on the northbound side of the bridge on the arch about halfway up.
Minnesota Department of Transportation bridge project manager Steve Kordosky. “I don’t know why they have selected that particular spot.”
Kordosky thinks that since that part of the bridge faces south, it warms up faster than the rest of the bridge.
Well who knows why birds do what they do!! I am sure that if some of Pigeon Patrol’s Ultra-Flex bird spikes or pigeon spikes were installed, or some of the new 4-S Gel or even an Ultrasonic sound Repeller that would be enough to deter the birds from the bridge.

Pigeon Patrol thought that this was a funny story. Lasers are great but you need to be there every night to disrupt the birds. Contractors NBC Bird and Pest Solutions, which regularly fly hawks to scare the pigeons away from the Holyrood building, have now resorted to using laser pens. But today, pigeon specialists voiced fears that the pens could blind the birds and said they would never recommend them. 
The use of laser pens only came to light in documents obtained under Freedom of Information.
In monthly updates on the contractors’ work, parliament bosses were told: “Targeted pen lasers have been used to disturb and disperse pigeons roosting at night. Most visits concentrated on the dawn and dusk periods to disturb and deter roosting activity.”
In addition to the laser pens, the contractors are also using “optical gel” (4-S GEL) – a substance which is spread on surfaces and makes it appear to pigeons that the area is on fire.
A spokesman for animal welfare group PETA added: “Laser pens can damage pigeons’ eyes just like they can humans’.
Pigeon Patrol agrees and thinks that the better deterrents would be bird spikes or pigeon spike, 4-S gel, bird netting or the Ultrasonic repellers.

Pigeon Patrol wonders if the Council staff will follow through with their threats?
There are large numbers of pigeons that sit on roof canopies of shops and in pathways, particularly Bowen Square and Foundry Place.
Apart from looking unsightly, spores from dried bird droppings can spread diseases similar to pneumonia and influenza if they are inhaled as dust and carried by the wind.
The new signs ask shoppers not to feed the birds and warn them that they could face a fine or prosecution for doing so.
David Cribbin said: “Feeding the birds is technically littering and can cause a potential health hazard.
“The new signs in the town center make it clear not to feed the birds and that people could be fined or prosecuted for doing so. However we hope that it won’t come to that and that these signs will act as an effective deterrent.”
Pigeon Patrol offers clients a variety of services for Bird Control that will suit the needs of their facility. Pigeon Patrol products have solved pest bird problems in industrial, commercial, and residential settings by using safe and humane bird deterrents with only bird and animal friendly solutions.

“Deadly Droppings”
Pigeon Patrol stumbled upon a story that’ll make you question where to buy your next car.
The staff at the BMW dealership, Vines of Guildford, has been under inevitable stress due to a great amount of bird droppings on their vehicles. The waste site next door attracts many birds such as seagulls and pigeons due to their form of transportation of waste. Only now, after many complaints about health issues and random falling pieces of food, the waste site facility will be installing new nets to keep the birds away. But the BMW dealership staff doesn’t it’ll be enough to keep the birds away.
Pigeon Patrol could handle this situation in a matter of seconds. Pigeon Patrol offers great products such as the Ultra-Flex Bird Spikes that could have been easily installed at the waste facility to keep the birds away safely and keep the community happy. Pigeon Patrol provides quality work and equipment and the flying bird poop and food can easily be diminished.

Pigeon Patrol came across this sad story on how pigeon deterrents were not used but fire was used to kill Fifty pigeons on an East 
Cleveland allotment in the early hours of this morning. Fire crews were called to the allotments in Liverton Mines at about 12.30am. They used two hose reels to extinguish the blaze, which they said killed approximately 50 pigeons and damaged the pigeon loft.
A police spokeswoman said: “Enquirers are ongoing to determine the cause of the fire.” Using simple bird or pigeon deterrents, like bird spikes, bird netting, Ultrasonic repellers to get rid of the birds from roosting may have helped save these pigeons lives.

Pigeon Patrol feels for these tourists with the Pigeons in plague-like proportions causing them headaches.
The birds are getting so daring they are stealing food from cafe tables while diners eat. The situation is so bad the Glenelg flock has begun to attract natural predators, with a family of falcons now nesting in a hotel’s roof area, feeding on the pigeons.More than six months has passed since traders met with the council to raise concerns about hundreds of pigeons causing a menace in and around the tourist hotspot.
“If it was a rat problem you’d expect the council to take control,” Mr Higgins said.”These are the rats of the sky. “As an operator in the area you expect the local council to take some ownership and give some direction, but we haven’t had any clear direction since the meeting.
The Stamford Grand has spent thousands of dollars trying to manage pigeons pooing by its pool, including $18,000 to install nets and spikes last year.
Mr Higgins was concerned the issue was affecting the hotel’s international reputation, as reviews on travel websites had mentioned the pigeon problems. “It’s a worldwide negative impact for us,” he said. “They poop all over the chairs and tables and you’re constantly having to clean all that up … if they can move them on it would be fantastic.”
Holdfast Bay chief executive Justin Lynch last month said the council had contacted the Environment Department to “explore the lawfulness of various pigeon control methods”, and had received quotes from a contractor recommended by the department.
The council traps and releases pigeons roosting on its buildings, which are also fitted with nets, spikes and wires.
It would be best not to release these bird but rather install Pigeon Patrols Ultrasonic Impact Repellers to deter the birds!

Wow where can you feel safe from infection if not in a hospital? Pigeon Patrol found this story and the troubles the UK is having.
Rats, cockroaches and pigeons were among the pests to be found in hospitals across the city during the last year. At Birmingham’s Queen Elizabeth Hospital, pest controllers disposed of pigeons in the oncology unit, with 62 call-outs by the Trust over the last 12 months.
At Good Hope Hospital a dead pigeon was removed from an X-Ray filing room, as well as a cockroach found in a ward kitchen at Heartlands Hospital, both run by the Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust.
Katherine Murphy, Chief Executive of the Patients Association, said that the information was a major safety concern.
“Each of our hospitals has a contract with Ecolab, who provide effective, pro-active pest elimination.” A spokesman from University Hospitals Birmingham Trust, which includes the QE Hospital added: “The Trust attaches the greatest importance to infection control and in doing so ensures that our patients, staff and visitors are exposed to minimum risk relating to pest infestation.”
I think that the hospitals could use Pigeon Patrol’s service and most of it’s pigeon deterrent products including the bird spikes, bird netting, 4-S Gel and the new Ultrasonic repellers to help ward off the pigeons.

So here is another company tell you what is the best pigeon deterrent is: Let’s have a peak!
The Bird spike system plays a very important role in preventing the birds from roosting on the ledges. Tips are blunt which don’t hurt the birds and also prevents them from creating the nest. Wire system is also used in warding off the troubles. Tensioned stainless steel wire is an effective barrier for birds and would go a long way in providing amazing results.
Yea they got this one right!!!
Bird blaster is a control device with Dopler radar and an air compressor. Hose is installed around the perimeter of the building or the billboard. Joint feature of the solenoid keeps the air flow to the surgical pipe closed. When a bird flies in the vicinity, the radar transits the information. Hose opens up and a loud noise is emitted that scares the birds away.
Pricy and the city can get you to turn it off for good!!!
Where is the 4-S Gel and the Ultrasonic Repellers????? I am sure that a few of these products will work on certain areas but to be in this industry you have to be one with the pigeon and adapt. That;’s what we do here at Pigeon Patrol Products and Services. We also manufacture all of our own products, from bird spikes, pigeon spikes to netting right down to our sound and ultrasonic repellers we are the logical choice for all your bird control needs.

Ho HO this a a whopper of a story that Pigeon Patrol came across :
‘Pigeon Lady of Pimlico’ Nadia Lee, 67, spent 25 years fattening pigeons in the exclusive London
Here Chicky Chicky!!
borough, much to the dismay of locals.
She became renowned for scooping stricken birds up into her Gucci handbag and taking them to her home and then rubbed the birds in lavender.
Lee, who suffers from multiple personality disorder, was deemed unfit to plead to the charges.
The problem is the feeding of pigeons on a huge scale, which causes serious disturbance to those around her.
‘I then catch them in a net, which I carry with me everywhere I go.
‘Then I put them in Gucci bags hanging off my Mamas & Papas pram. I take them home and take the string off their feet, rub them in lavender and treat them with homeopathy.
Wow not I have seen it all. We need to send over some bird spikes or Ultrasonic repellers for this area to use to help ward off their pigeon problem.

I will not get Shat on!
Right up our alley: These people should call on the Pigeon Patrol for all their pigeon deterrent needs. It seems that Postal workers are refusing to deliver mail to a woman’s home because they are scared of slipping on – pigeon droppings.
Frustrated Heather Rogers, 63, has been told the amount of bird waste in an alleyway leading to her house is a health and safety risk.
Pigeons gather on top of a wall above the small alley in Helston, Cornwall, and regularly pelt the path with droppings.
When Heather noticed some of her mail wasn’t arriving when she went to the post office to pick it up it had been marked ”too slippery”.
Officials at Royal Mail have told her that it is up to each postal worker to decide if they want to walk on the pigeon droppings.
Heather said: “I went to the post office and they said they hadn’t been going down there because it was too slippery with all the pigeons. One neighbour of Heather’s said postal workers were being ”ridiculous” in not delivering . She said: ”There are a lot of pigeons here and they do make a bit of a mess, but it’s not too bad.”
These gals need some bird spikes or pigeon spikes, a wee bit of netting and some ultrasonic sounds to get their mail delivered.

Where did Tweety go!
Most people call Pigeon Patrol to get rid of their pigeon problems, however I am sure that this lady would not have us on her speed dial.
A Vancouver Island woman is devastated after her pet pigeon Tweety was taken to an animal rescue center, which now refuses to give the bird back.
Chemainus resident Sandy Bird, 72, rescued the pigeon from near death last March. He has lived as a member of her family ever since, accompanying Bird everywhere she went, even on car trips.
Last week, Tweety flew out of the car, but returned to the wrong vehicle. The owner of that vehicle, Mike Toole, took the bird to the BC SPCA Wild Animal Rehabilitation Centre – Wild ARC – in Metchosin.
Bird said wildlife officials tell her Tweety is better off with pigeons, but it feels like she’s lost a member of the family.
“He’s probably the most lonely, lost little guy in the world. He’s more than just a bird,” she said.
Despite this, Senior Wildlife Rehabilitator Christina Carrieres said Bird did not have the proper permits.
“It is illegal to possess any type of wildlife without a permit. They are protected under the Wildlife Act,” said Carrieres.
Wildlife officials plan to transfer Tweety to another wildlife centre soon, where he can live out his days in captivity.
While most of our clients call Pigeon Patrol for all of their bird spike , bird spike, bird netting, 4-s Gel and Ultrasonic repellers all bird deterrents, we wish the best to this lady and hope one day she is reunited with Tweety.

Pigeon Patrol says,” When will people ever learn about feeding the pigeons!
Who Ya gonna Call!!
POSTERS urging people to stop feeding pigeons are to be put up in Colne town centre. Complaints have been made about people feeding the birds. Leaflets are to be made asking people to think twice before feeding them.
Colne councillor Dorothy Lord said:
“People are coming up with loaves of bread and sitting down on their phones and throwing the bread out to the pigeons. It is causing problems with the amount of pigeons in the town centre. There is also the risk of a rat infestation with the bread left behind on the streets.“The extra pigeon muck is not nice for people in the town centre and it means the area has to be Power washed to clean it up.”“It’s not a nice experience for people in the town centre when there are so many pigeons about. We’re not taking thousands of pigeons but they do breed very quickly so we soon could be.”
This Town really needs bird or pigeon deterrents right away. The kind that Pigeon Patrol manufactures, bird spikes, bird netting , 4-S gel and Ultrasonic Repellers.

ANIMAL charities have reacted furiously over plans to slaughter Mottingham station’s pigeon population which have been persistently pooing on commuters.
It comes after a station platform vendor says the birds are ruining her trade as customers dodge the birds’ bombs which have landed in cups of coffee and pose a health and safety risk.
Southeastern, which is responsible for cleaning the platforms, are planning a cull to get rid of the pigeons before fitting meshing to prevent any more roosting.
But animal charities say the move is “cruel” “unnecessary” and likely to worsen the problem which could be avoided by using non-lethal deterrents such as anti-perching spikes.
Speaking of the ongoing problem, owner of Shell’s Kiosk Michelle Hill, said: “I am losing customers.
“Three people got pooed on this morning. “It is getting beyond a joke now. “It is like they are having a party up on the roof.”
Officer Diane Roberts added: “The RSPCA is opposed to the killing of wildlife where it is possible to humanely deter them instead.
A Southeastern spokeswoman said: “Pigeons nesting at the station are making a huge mess and are an issue for customers, tenants and staff. Our priority is to provide a clean environment for our passengers and the businesses at the station.”
Pigeon Patrol would try the following bird deterrents – Anti-roosting spikes or bird spikes or pigeon spikes – Bird netting – 
UltraSonic and Sonic devices and 4-S gel. Good luck on your bird control and your pigeon problems.

Pigeon Patrol wishes all the best in the new year to New Bedford — Southeastern Regional Transit Authority. The officials are taking long and short-term steps to reduce problems caused by pigeons roosting in the rafters of the downtown bus terminal.
They will brighten the appearance of the terminal, reduce the noise and eliminate much of the problem of pigeons roosting inside the terminal, he said.
“It will drastically reduce the amount of space for them to stand on. It will be much more difficult for them to hang out there,” he said.
Rousseau said SRTA’s maintenance staff regularly battles the problem of pigeon droppings by power washing the pavement. However, the work has to be done at night because of the steady flow of buses during the day and he said crews have not been able to wash it lately because of the cold weather.
“Today (Friday) was the first day our guys were able to do that,” he said of the powerwashing.
I do agree that taking steps like installing bird deterrents lie bird spikes or pigeon spikes will help to control the pigeons and reduce the pigeon problems. For the whole story click the link below:

Pigeon Patrol found this story in about, Rome facing a “guano alarm” as millions of pigeons and starlings leave the city covered in a thick layer of droppings, Italian media report.
Some four million birds annually overwinter in the capital, but this year spending cuts have derailed efforts to discourage the birds from settling in central areas. In previous years, anti-bird measures have included pruning plane trees and broadcasting amplified cries of birds of prey through loudspeakers.
But such efforts have not been put into action in 2013, so the birds have deposited a thick layer of droppings on streets, vehicles and buildings.
The tree-lined Lungotevere, the boulevard running along the river Tiber, is particularly badly affected. Sections of it are thick with droppings, creating slip hazards for pedestrians, cyclists and motorbike riders alike. Photos published by Corriere della Sera show vehicles blanketed with guano. Pedestrians arm themselves with umbrellas or run for cover. The situation is so bad that some residents bang on pots and pans in the streets and squares to scare the birds away, just as people used to do in years gone by.
Using bird spikes or pigeon spikes together with an UltraSonic bird deterrent would definitely help with Rome’s bird issue. Pigeon problems have not got this bad in Canada, but you never know. Canadians may have to pigeon proof with bird deterrents to get rid of their pigeon problem.

This is a first for the Pigeon Patrol Products & Service crew to read up on.One nicotine-addicted bird sparked a major house fire when it dropped a lit cigarette butt down a chimney.
The ciggie-loving sky rat topped the list of most bizarre causes of blazes this year according to Britain’s biggest fire brigade.
Investigators in London studied 2,000 incidents in the capital in a bid to highlight the importance of fire safety.
And their survey uncovered an incredible variety of “weird and wonderful” firestarters.
- A dog hit the controls of a toaster as it leapt on to a worktop to reach food, setting fire to a bag.
- A pigeon dropped a discarded lit cigarette down a chimney, starting a fire in a bird’s nest.
- A fridge freezer caught fire after a mouse got into the back, shorting the electrics.
Charlie Pugsley, of London Fire Brigade’s investigations team, said even the strangest fires could be prevented by taking simple fire safety precautions.
Having bird netting, bird spikes or pigeon spikes, 4-S gel or even an UltraSonic units that can be purchased from Pigeon Patrol could have help prevent this bizarre fire. Pigeon Patrol is based in North America and can be reached toll free at 1-877-4NO- BIRD.

 Histoplasmosis
Histoplasmosis is a disease caused by a fungus, which grows in pigeon droppings. It also grows in soils and is found throughout the world. When cleaning droppings a person may breathe in some of the fungus, which in cases of high exposure can cause infection. Common activities, such as cleaning off windowsills, will not result in high exposures.
Symptoms of histoplasmosis begin to appear about 10 days after initial infection and include fatigue, fever, and chest pains. Most people, however, do not show any symptoms. Those with compromised immune systems such as cancer patients or people living with HIV/AIDS are generally more at risk of developing histoplasmosis. The disease cannot be transmitted from person to person.
Cryptococcosis
Cryptococcosis is another fungal disease associated with pigeon droppings and also grows in soils throughout the world. It is very unlikely that healthy people will become infected even at high levels of exposure. A major risk factor for infection is a compromised immune system. According to the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC), nearly 85 percent of cryptococcosis patients are HIV-positive.
Psittacosis
Psittacosis (also known as ornithosis or parrot fever) is a rare infectious disease that mainly affects parrots and parrot-like birds such as cockatiels, and parakeets, but may also affect other birds, such as pigeons. When bird droppings dry and become airborne people may inhale them and get sick.
In humans, this bacterial disease is characterized by: fatigue, fever, headache, rash, chills, and sometimes pneumonia. Symptoms develop about 10 days after exposure. Psittacosis can be treated with a common antibiotic.
Since 1996, fewer than 50 confirmed cases were reported in the United States annually. In New York City, psittacosis is very rare with less than one human case identified each year. According to the CDC, about 70% of infected people had contact with infected pet birds. Those at greatest risk include bird owners, pet shop employees, veterinarians, and people with compromised immune systems. No person-to-person cases have ever been reported.

A substantial amount of pigeon droppings on the sidewalk in front of any downtown business space in Vancouver, B.C. Canada. Just a wee amount or droppings that have been accumulating for months. Whose responsibility is to clean this mess up? Is the property owner or the city supposed to do it? 
Poop, just like any other trash and debris that may accumulate in front of a business property, is the responsibility of the property owner. City officials or WCB may get involved in the event a property owner neglects to address the issue.
Property owners are typically given a reasonable amount of time to comply with a request. Likewise, failure to comply can result in the mess being deemed a nuisance followed by administrative action being taken against the property owner, such as a fine.
There are also health risks posed by large deposits of accumulated droppings, said Andrew MacBain, owner of Pigeon Patrol Products and Services.
Anyone having to deal with an accumulation of droppings is recommended to use part household bleach to nine-part water solution to treat the mess prior to any cleaning or scraping is done. The solution will kill any harmful biological agents that pose health risks, Andrew said.
After being treated with the solution an individual can wash the mess away with soap and water.
Pigeon Patrol manufactures bird spikes or pigeon spikes, bird netting , 4-sGel and Ultrasonic and sonic sound deterrents that will help ward off birds , pigeon , seagulls and other animals.

Pigeon Patrol Products and Services have had to clean up many nasty jobs, but this job may take the cake.
A hatch on a Swedish church tower inadvertently left open for some three decades resulted in 2 tons of pigeon droppings amassing in the tower.
The church’s property manager says the layer of droppings was 30 centimetres (12 inches) deep when it was discovered during a May inspection of the Heliga Trefaldighets Kyrka in Gavle, 170 kilometres (105 miles) north of Stockholm.
Lennart Helzenius said on Thursday that church staff had been shocked by the sheer number of bags of excrement cleaners were removing from the tower. He says the droppings filled 80 bags in the first round of cleaning, and then just as many in the second round.
Helzenius says the hatch had probably been left open since the 1980s.
I guess that this church could have used some of Pigeon Patrol’s bird deterrents like their bird or pigeon spikes, bird netting, 4-S Gel, or the UltraSonic Tube or Screaming Owl. Pigeon Patrol has warehouse in Vancouver Canada and Seattle Washington. Pigeon Patrol is the logical choice for bird or pigeon control in North America.
