Arlington wildlife control tip of the month:

Pigeon Trapping: How To Trap a Pigeon

Pigeons can be problematic and many Arlington pest control people turn to traps to keep them away. Large cages with one entry will do the trick. The door of the trap should remain open for a few days so that pigeons get used to entering it. Once they do, you can trap them easily next time they come. The main problem with trapping pigeons is that you cannot relocate them. They are excellent at finding their way back, so the only solution would be to kill them. You can do that in number of Arlington animal control ways, but keep in mind that it should be quick and painless for the animal. People often break their necks, or you can use inhalant agents, pharmacologic agents birds eat. When dealing with captured pigeon you should minimize your contact with it since they can be carriers of some diseases. Also, keep in mind that once you kill them, you have to dispose of the carcass.

Having all that in mind, the best thing to do would be to call a Arlington wildlife removal wildlife expert to catch them, or dispose of them once they are caught. The best bait to use to lure them is actually any kind of seed you can buy in a supermarket. Pigeons should get used to a food source in the area where you trap them, so placing corn or seeds there is a good way to get them used to you and the trap. They you should put seeds in an open trap before you turn to trapping them. Once you caught one, keep it in the trap because it will lure others to come. That is why you can trap many pigeons with only one trap. A trap you use should be designed specifically for pigeons, because they are very fast and could easily escape the trap before it shuts them in.

The best time to trap a pigeon is in winter when there is not much food around. Setting lethal Arlington exterminator traps can be illegal in some places because pigeons are not the only birds that can land into them. Also, you should keep in mind that killing pigeons is only temporary solution because they will easily repopulate the area. Airfields have a big Arlington animal trapping problem with pigeons since they can end up in an engine of the airplane and cause a lot of damage. A good thing to do would be to call an expert to deal with the situation.
