In big cities like Leeds and the surrounding areas, large construction sites are fairly common and these tend to come with many site workers and a lot of waste to dispose of. Indeed, waste disposal methods can be a big factor when it comes to attracting pest birds in the first place.
Pigeons are happy to make their home wherever they find decent shelter and a food source, so that could easily become your construction site if waste such as food and discarded building materials is not managed properly. If birds do choose your site as a good place to nest, you might find you’ve got an infestation to deal with before the construction is even complete.
What problems do pigeons cause?
Having pigeons nesting at your construction site could cause a health and safety hazard for the people working there as pigeons are known to carry various diseases and their droppings could make surfaces slippery for your workers. Nesting pigeons can also cause a lot of noise and disruption at your site.
What can be done about pigeons nesting on construction sites?
It’s not advisable to try and deal with pigeon control yourself as the birds are a protected species, which means that only certain types of treatments can be used to eradicate the problem. Professional pest control services will be able to provide the solution for your construction site if you’re suffering with a pigeon infestation, or help you with bird proofing measures to prevent the birds from choosing your construction site as their new home.
