The Problem with Pigeons

In urban environments like Budapest, pigeons are ubiquitous. While they seem harmless, they cause millions in property damage annually.

Why Control is Necessary

  1. Corrosive Droppings: Pigeon guano is highly acidic. It eats into limestone, stains concrete, and corrodes car paint.
  2. Health Risks: Their droppings can carry diseases like Histoplasmosis and Salmonella. Dry droppings turn into dust that can be inhaled.
  3. Blocked Gutters: Nests and buildup clog drainage systems, leading to water damage.

Our Solutions

We install humane, discreet deterrents using rope access.

  • Bird Spikes: Stainless steel spikes installed on ledges, sills, and signage. They prevent birds from landing but do not harm them. They are virtually invisible from the ground.
  • Bird Netting: The ultimate solution for balconies, lightwells, and large recesses. A UV-resistant net creates a physical barrier that birds cannot penetrate.
  • Wire Systems: Thin, tensioned wires used on railings where spikes would be aesthetically unpleasing.

Installation

Accessing these ledges with a ladder is often impossible or dangerous. Our alpinists can rappel to the exact location, clean the surface (crucial for adhesion), and install the protection quickly.

Keep your building clean and healthy with professional bird control.
