Pigeons on the Roof? Bird Droppings Everywhere?
Here’s How to Get Rid of Birds—Permanently!
If you’re tired of scrubbing bird droppings off your walls or shooing away pesky pigeons, you’re not alone. The good news? There are practical, humane, and effective ways to reclaim your space. Let’s dive into three proven solutions to keep those feathered intruders at bay.

1. Stop Birds Landing!
The fastest way to solve your bird problem? Stop them from landing on your roof, ledges, or gutters. After all, if they can’t perch, they won’t stick around! Pigeons and other birds love to congregate on flat surfaces, leaving behind unsightly trails of droppings. The solution? Make your property a no-landing zone.
One of the most effective tools for this is bird spikes. Bird proofing spikes are completely humane—they don’t harm birds, they just make it impossible for them to land or perch. And as soon as the bird spikes are installed, you’ll see immediate results—birds will be gone for good!
Installing bird spikes is a simple, immediate and permanent solution to keep your exterior clean and bird-free.
If you’re dealing with birds in your garden—especially around fruit trees or vegetable patches—bird netting is a game-changer. It’s simple, effective, and lets you enjoy the fruits of your labour (literally!). Drape the netting over your trees during fruiting season or use over your garden beds to keep birds from feasting on your harvest. Once the season’s over, you can easily remove it. For year-round protection, you can even build a DIY bird net cage around your garden. It’s a small effort for a big reward: a thriving, bird-free garden that’s all yours to enjoy!

2. Scare Birds Away with Reflective Surfaces
Birds are naturally wary of flashing lights and shiny objects. If you’re dealing with birds in your garden, fruit trees, or even on your roof, this tactic can work wonders. Here are a few ideas:
- DIY Reflective Deterrents: Hang old CDs, tin foil, or reflective tape in trees or around your patio. The sunlight bouncing off these surfaces will irritate birds and encourage them to find a quieter spot.
- Flashing Bird Scare Tape: This is a step up from DIY solutions. The tape is designed to catch sunlight and create a dazzling effect that birds hate. It’s perfect for gazebos, balconies patios, fruit trees and vineyards.
- Flashing Propeller Units: For larger areas like roofs, these units spin in the breeze and create reflective flashes that birds find incredibly annoying. Be patient with this method. Birds hate breaking bad habits, so they will keep coming back for a while. But your patience will be rewarded. Eventually, they will realise that your roof is no longer a pleasant roosting spot and they will move on.
If you prefer a more discreet option, consider bird deterrent wax. Look for a non-sticky formula that reflects sunlight. These are ideal for balconies or areas where you don’t want bulky deterrents.

3. Block Their Access to Unwanted Areas
If birds are nesting in your roof, you’ll need a more strategic approach. The key is to ensure all birds (including eggs and hatchlings) are safely removed before sealing any entry points. If this feels overwhelming, don’t hesitate to call in a professional pest control service.
Once the birds are gone, it’s time to bird-proof your roof. Inspect every inch for cracks, loose tiles, or gaps under the eaves—even the tiniest hole can be an open invitation for birds. Seal everything up, and consider combining this with scare tactics like flashing propeller units or bird spikes to discourage them from returning.
