Is Shock Tread For Pigeons Safe Or Just Mean?

There are a number of methods of dealing with an infestation of pigeons – discreet netting can be used to cover and enclose buildings, deterrent wires can be installed, pigeon spikes or even shock tread – this carries a mild electric current that will prevent pigeons from roosting and perching in and around your building. Shock tread for pigeons is a good choice as a deterrent since it is easy to install along the roosting area. Pigeons like to roost and perch on areas that are flat and even – ideal for shock track placement. Preventing these birds from perching on your building by administering a very mild electric shock will also deter them from returning and can be successfully used against an existing infestation and any newcomers.

Dealing with an infestation of pigeons is essential for a number of aesthetic and hygienic reasons. Pigeons create vast amounts of mess that is both unsightly and unhygienic. Pigeon droppings can cause corrosive damage to the surfaces of buildings and vehicles and may cost many hundreds of dollars to remove. Pigeon waste matter can also cause blockages in drainage pipes and gutters that may then lead to flooding of the affected building or area. The most successful pigeon deterrents will remove the birds from your property and prevent them from coming back – shock track will successfully do both of these things.
