The wild Hawaii pigeons will usually be dwelling in the cliff. This will help them avoid the threat of predators. When in the city, they will choose to live close to the human. Feral pigeons will build their nest in the residential structure, ledges, and under bridge. The scattered scrap food and trash in the suburban areas will be an excellent hunting ground for the pigeons. They also do not hesitate to establish their colony near humans.

Using Repellents to Get Rid of the Pigeons

Once the Honolulu pigeon invaded our property, we need to find way to get rid of them since we will be exposed to the health hazards associated from their presence. Some people will try to use repellents to drive them away. Sadly, none of these repellents have been proven effective against them.

Pepper Spray

Some Hawaii people think that using pepper spray will discourage the bird from dwelling in our property. It has an active compound known as capsaicin that creates the spicy taste and burning effect of the pepper spray. Some people believe that by spraying it all over their property, they will be able to control the activities of the pigeons. However, according to science, this is not true. All birds have the capacity to eat even the spiciest pepper since they have very limited taste buds. Humans have around 10,000 taste buds while the pigeons will only have 37. This means that they won't be able to taste the hot pepper. 

Honey Repellents

You might think that the stick property of the honey will be able to deter the pigeons from roosting in our roof. However, there are certain problems when using this method. First would be the cost. Since you will have to cover the entire roof, using honey may not be the right solution. In addition, the product will quickly dry up especially during the summer season. 

Ultrasonic Devices

Since the Honolulu pigeons are known for their incredible hearing capacity, people believe that they will be affected with high-pitched deterrent machines that are sold in the market. By releasing a sound wave that is beyond the capacity of the human ear, the pigeons will find it uncomfortable and will leave our property. Unfortunately, based on the test, these products are ineffective against wildlife infestation. The high-pitch will not reverberate that will fail to penetrate walls. Aside from that, pigeons can easily adapt on the changes in their environment. 

If you are looking for a better repellent that you can use against the Hawaii pigeons, there are bird spikes that will prevent them from roosting in our house. You can also adopt a pet that will frighten and chase them. If none of these are effective, the pigeon removal specialist can help you determine the best course of action for your problem. They can help you drive them away and prevent the recurrence of infestation making your place a safe place to live in. You will be able to stay away from the damages and the safety risks that they bring.
