Re: pigeons
Hi @Hen
Sorry to hear that you have a pigeon infestation. Aside from the traditional methods of bird deterrence, I suggest having a look at Multicrop 400g Scat Bird And Animal Repellent and Jack 30m Pest Control Humming Tape.
You can also try traditional methods such as mixing cayenne pepper mixed in some with some water in a spray bottle. Spray along the areas where the pigeons like to roost, the strong smell is offensive to pigeons.
One other method is to setup a temporary Pope Rain Tower Sprinkler. You can link this to your garden timer and activate it with your phone if pigeons are roosting on your fence.
If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

Re: pigeons
Hello @Hen (Heather)
Just remember that pigeons are creatures of habit. If you discourage them long enough, they will transfer to another location.
