Question

What gets rid of pigeons ?

Answer 1

Exclude them from potential nesting sites, and don't provide them with food.

You can get spikey plastic stuff that you put on any ledges the pigeons might like, so they can't land there.  But watch out, they may find the spot you missed.

Don't leave food trash out for them to eat; throw leftovers in the trash can.

Answer 2

I'm sorry to inform you but ever been to a city? There's pigeons sleeping on top of fake owls, pigeons making nests in pigeon spikes, they're just everywhere.

Of course if there's a certain area you want to keep them out of, like a gutter, then you can put up leaf guards.

Hawks, falcons and eagles also keep pigeons away, but unless you have a wildlife permit that can be hard to accomplish.

You could try a robotic fake owl that moves and makes noise. I have seen them in stores although I've never seen one in use so I don't know for sure if they work.

Apparently shiney things like CDs and ribbons keep birds away, but I often think this is a myth as I see many woodpecker holes in houses with those things.

Answer 3

There is no way to get rid of pigeons unles you cut off there food supply..

So clean up your yard of food or trash thats edible.

If you are living by a restaurant with a dumpster or a Dump..

Then you can forget about trying to rid of them...
