Anyone know how to get rid of Pigeons? I seem to be having a problem with them since they have decided to nest above my door. I get home yesterday to find that they have apparently decided to clean house and there is pigeon poo everywhere!!!!! and I dont mean just a few droppings here and there. I could have filled up a five gallon bucket.

Help me, please!

I've read that their droppings can really rot wood and such.
No joking...I'd lace some popcorn with poison and set it out.

The term "get rid of them" should not be interpreted as to "kill" them. I just want them to set up house elsewhere besides my doorstep.

However, if I lead a trail of popcorn over to the neighbor's door, reckon that will work? LOL

Call a pest exterminator, they can trap them and move them.

TG...pigeons are the worst! Poop everywhere...and they keep pooping and pooping and pooping!

I agree with dip...I think you need to put out a fake owl...or a big rubber snake.

awe, you guys are cruel. Thats all I need is for some nosy neighbor to call the animal police on me. "No officer, I swear, they just fell off the roof and they were already dead. Try the kid across the street." "Holes? I dont see no holes in the birds."

For a permanent solution, install some sharp tacks or nails (pointy-side-out) above your door. Lots of cities put these type of sharp implements on ledges, shade trellises, etc. In foreign countries, I've even seen them stick pieces of broken glass into concrete while it sets up.

Apparently birds don't like sharp pokes under their tail feathers!

Well, if the pigeon spikes don't work, how do you feel about getting a puma as a pet?

I've heard that pigeons enjoy a good game of paintball. Keep the reflexes sharp as..well, a tack.

All this and noone has mentioned just hiring Bubba the Wonder Tom? Just get yourself a cat and let it out to hunt all day!

Let me get this straight...you give yourself points for running over cats, but you won't take a shotgun to a lousy pigeon? Interesting...very interesting...

Has anyone else been wondering if Carly Girl ever found a working solution to her pigeon problem?
