Complete Maintenance Services are experienced in Pigeon Control methods and removal of pigeon droppings / pigeon guano which has become a real problem in the UK and as people are getting more knowlegeable about problems that pigeon dropping mess can instigate, there is a real need for expert removal of pigeon guano.
If left untreated, pigeon mess causes a real health risk to people, especially the young and elderly due to the bacteria and organisms. Dried pigeon mess causes dust, which is very harmful to inhale as the dust contains faeces, urine and harmful bacteria from sometimes infected birds which is easily passed on.

Thankfully there are several methods of pigeon control including bird proofing & deterrent solutions, bird netting, bird spikes and a large variety of electrical & sonic bird deterrent solutions as well as wire deterrent systems.
