We have hung 2" wide reflective mylar strips about 12" long about a foot or so apart where they hang out. That helps quite a bit. We have also used a taped loop of sound effects, basically bird of prey screeching, owl sounds, electronic sounds, all varied and repeating over a sound system. this has been a little more effective. In San Francisco, they're trying a contraceptive for the pigeons, which they administer in laced baits . We've also had falconers come to our plantsite to have their falcons and hawks do their thing with the problem birds. Whatever the solution, it appears to be temporary, if it's not death.<br><b>References : </b><br> At the industrial plant where I work we have rather a huge pigeon problem.

They like to roost in a covered location like lofts, steeples, vents, and under eaves. They shelter like this to avoid owls and falcons that hunt pigeons on wing from overhead. If you can find where they are roosting at night you can put wire mesh up blocking access until they leave. Or drape an area with bird netting whatever seems easiest to block the birds. To get them off the roof is harder. If they nest elswhere but come in they must be foraging for food nearby. Try using Bird Proof to repel them. Meanwhile see if you can find where they are foraging for grain or seeds. Removing their food source will drive them away also. http://www.bird-x.com/products/bproof.html<br><b>References : </b><br> Have the birds been able to get into the attic or into some other sheltered area for nesting.
