Pigeons are quite persistent birds that love to sit on balconies and leave their droppings there. And as you know, dirty tiles are not a pleasant sight. How to get rid of pigeons from the balcony? One remedy will solve the problem once and for all.

Pigeons living in towns and cities make nests not only in trees. They love ledges of buildings, attics, nooks in the wall, attics and also balconies. If you notice a pile of sticks on your terrace or balcony when you return from work, be sure to remove them. Chances are that the pigeon will not come back to settle in its nest.

On the other hand, you are not allowed to do so if the young have already hatched. In this case, all you have to do is wait about 5-6 weeks until the young pigeon leaves the nest. And you must be aware that these birds can breed up to 5 times a year, so there is a good chance that a particular individual will want to return to your balcony again.
