How to Identify & Get Rid of Pigeons
Pigeons are among the most common urban pests across London, nesting on buildings, rooftops, and balconies, and leaving droppings, feathers, and noise that disrupt daily life. Effective pigeon control begins with understanding their habits, nesting behaviour, and the best deterrence and removal methods. More than just a nuisance, pigeons pose a public health risk, carrying disease through droppings and contaminating surfaces.
This guide explains how to identify, prevent, and remove pigeons through humane deterrence measures - from bird spikes and netting to eco-friendly pigeon removal services by EcoCare PestControl Management. With a focus on long-term control and environmental responsibility, we cover everything from early signs of infestation to sustainable proofing and maintenance.

House sparrows are among the most widespread urban bird pests across London and Surrey. Although small, their impact on homes, commercial spaces, and public areas can be considerable. Renowned for aggressive nesting and territorial behaviour, these birds frequently invade bluebird boxes, roof gaps, and building ledges, displacing native songbirds such as white-throated sparrows and bluebirds. Effective sparrow control begins with proper identification, followed by targeted prevention, safe deterrents, humane removal, and regular maintenance. EcoCare PestControl Management’s sparrow control services use humane, eco-conscious techniques to eliminate infestations and safeguard the environment. Understanding nesting sites, population behaviour, and breeding prevention is vital for protecting your property, reducing noise and droppings, and restoring balance to garden bird habitats.

Urban and rural areas across London face recurring starling problems every breeding season. These highly social birds gather in large flocks, nesting in vents, roofs, and building crevices, and often leave behind mess, noise, and contamination.
