Why they keep coming back in North Prince Fawaz

Shop rooftops attract heavier pigeon use than villa roofs here, particularly during late shop closing hours when the district traffic quietens. The method is set out in full on what Bird and pigeon control involves.

The first reason

Glass facades and open balconies of small hotels

Small hotels and furnished apartments have balconies and glass facing that provide generous perching surfaces for pigeons. Reflective glass sometimes startles birds briefly, but they quickly learn to avoid collision and settle on edges and ledges.

The second reason

Passages and gaps between ground level shops and upper flats

Gaps between shop facades and side passages offer shaded shelter to pigeons. Low roofs on small older shops serve as stepping stones for birds moving upward to higher villa rooftops.

The third reason

Multiple air conditioning and ventilation units on commercial facades

Shops carry many external air conditioning units and fans. These appliances offer pigeons natural protection from wind and rain, and create cavities behind them that birds use for nesting.

Before treatment

The building decides which deterrent works

Main roads busy with traffic and shoppers, with low hotel roofs and shop facades at street level, supply pigeons with multiple feeding stops and perching platforms.

Ledge width

Ledges shared by flats and shops offer numerous perching points and need a continuous barrier with no gaps to deter pigeons successfully.

Air conditioning platforms

Air conditioning units and fans on shop walls create cavities and side gaps that offer strong wind and rain protection for nesting birds.

The nest itself

Nests on shop rooftops are shallower than on old houses but form far more quickly and require regular maintenance and monitoring.

The droppings pattern

Waste from shops and markets attracts far more pigeons and insects to nearby rooftops, accumulating rapidly on surfaces that face the commercial zone.

Openings and shafts

Openings between flats, shops and intermediate roofs create complex pathways for pigeons moving between buildings.

Roof tanks in commercial zones are surrounded by many ventilation and cooling units, making it difficult to install a complete enclosure around them.

How we work

1
Survey the roof and the facade

We walk the roof, the projections, the condenser platforms and the shafts, separate the nesting positions from the perching ones, and measure and photograph every ledge.
2
Strip the nests and treat the parasites

Droppings are wetted before they are lifted so nothing goes airborne dry, bagged closed, and the nest position is treated for ticks and mites before the surface is sanitised.
3
Close and fit

Netting tensioned on a perimeter wire with no gap at the corners, spikes or wire on the narrow projections, metal mesh across vents and shafts, and the roof drains freed of the nest material packing them.
4
The follow-up visit

We come back to check the tension, the corners and any position the flock has moved to, and correct what has slackened before a bird finds it.

What bird and pigeon control includes

A recorded survey

Every ledge, condenser platform and shaft, photographed, with nesting separated from perching before anything is chosen.
Nest removal and drain clearing

Lifted wet rather than swept dry, bagged closed, and the roof drains freed of the nest material packing them.
Parasite treatment and sanitising

The nest position treated for ticks and mites, then the surface the droppings sat on sanitised.
Sealing and fitting the deterrents

Netting tensioned on a perimeter wire, spikes or wire on narrow projections, and metal mesh across ventilation openings.
Aftercare instructions

The condensate water, food left on the roof, and what should not sit beside a ledge if the attraction is to stay gone.
A follow-up on tension and corners

Netting slackens and corners open over time; the visit corrects that and closes any new position.

The character of North Prince Fawaz

Mixed district: shops at street level with homes above them

Ground level shops draw heavier pigeon use because of food and foot traffic. Installation must balance protection of the shop, the flats above, and residents on both sides equally.

Questions about this district

Shop owners are bothered by pigeons nesting on their roofs, how is that managed?

We first clean the roof and surrounds thoroughly, then remove nests and all droppings. We then fit strong, transparent deterrents that do not spoil the shop's appearance from the street or from flats above.

Pigeons perch on balconies and windowsills, do they enter the apartment?

Sometimes they do, especially through open windows. We fit fine metal or transparent mesh on windows in full, or relocate air conditioning units and fans further from the balcony edge.

Small hotels have guests coming and going constantly, will your work disturb them?

No, we work at night or during quiet hours. The equipment we use is safe, odourless and produces no noise.

Will pigeons come back to perch after the deterrents are fitted?

A few may try other spots in the district for a few weeks, but they will not return to the same site if the deterrent is strong and complete.

Ground floor shops are under apartment flats, do pigeons from the flats drop to the shops?

Sometimes, especially where shops have open frontages. We also fit deterrents to shop roofs to protect goods and customers from droppings.

Markets and shops draw more pigeons, does the treatment need to continue for a long time?

Yes, monthly check visits are advisable in busy commercial areas, as pigeons will probe new sites. The deterrent itself remains effective if it is properly installed and undamaged.
