How to Get Pigeons Out of a Wall
Like rats, pigeons are also perfectly adaptable to human environments. Our building and our structures provide them a perfect spot to build a home, a family and most importantly a haven. What's good about living with us is that we provide them food for our leftovers. This relationship is anything but amicable. It's true they provide entertainment to our elderly, but this does not compensate for the damages they cause to our properties and the pests and diseases that come with them.
Habits of Pigeons
Pigeons are very smart, and a simple spray or a homemade remedy is not enough to get rid of them. Most often getting rid of a pigeon requires an approach that is interrelated with another. Try using pigeon traps; bob traps is the trap that should be used. Attract by the bait (wheat or corn) the birds are lured through a one-way door. It is important to have decoy pigeons inside because pigeons are social birds. Once trapped release it far away from your property. Try making bird nettings to prevent them from coming back and making a nest again.
How Pigeons can enter your house?
Pigeons adapt to our environment and sometimes end up making a nest in even the smallest of holes in our walls. Since a small hole provides them safeguard from cats and other prying eyes, it's a perfect spot to raise a family. A hole in the wall is one of the locations in which a bird is protected and is difficult to remove. If they have eggs laid inside it becomes nearly impossible until the egg hatches and that the birds are old enough to live on their own. The first thing to do is to confirm that the infestation is a bird nest not a snakes resting ground. Sounds of chirping will confirm its presence.
How to get them out of your wall
A pigeon leaves early in the morning and comes back at dawn, so the best chance is to fill the hole up when it's gone, but one important thing is to be considered that no bird is trapped inside when you fill the hole up. Often the male and female tend to the young ones, and at least one is available at all times for them. Once you have confirmed that no birds or hatchlings are left behind lock them out. If that doesn't work try spraying the walls so that the birds get irritated and go away but this is risky since the spray might also be dangerous to your family or animals around.
The process to remove birds from a wall is time taking but is possible and must be tried every three days eventually you'd be successful in removing the bird from the wall. If not call professionals who would take care of the problem and seal all the holes to prevent them from coming back.
