Once you’ve found pigeons in your home, you’ll want to remove them ASAP. However, that’s easier said than done. Being birds, they’re going to be fast and can easily fly out of your reach. You’ll also see that they can roost in high, hard to reach areas. However, they will need to be removed one way or another. There are several ways you can do this. Firstly, you can attempt to catch them and remove them from the house. If you try this, you’ll need to ensure you’re using protective gear in order to keep yourself safe. Be advised though, this method isn’t as successful as others on this list.

Another way of removing a pigeon is to scare them away. How you do this depends on you, and what you have on hand. Some use leaf blowers on lower settings, in order to scare the pigeons out. If you can use a one-way door system, you can scare the bird out and shut the doors behind them, so they can’t get back in. This is also quite difficult to do, though.

Many have luck using traps to get the pigeons out. These are baited with food so the pigeon comes to investigate. As they enter the trap, the door shuts behind them and they can’t get out. These are more viable as they don’t require you to touch the bird to get it out, and you don’t have to try and catch it yourself. Once the pigeon has been trapped, you can release it outside.
