Pigeons may pose a big problem – on the balcony, under the roof or in the garden. When they circle the house, their cooing may be irritating and their droppings unhygienic, while the pigeon themselves damage plants and furniture. Solutions allowing you to keep pigeons away without harming them: netting, spikes and roof tile stoppers.
Pigeon, an intelligent and ubiquitous animal
Pigeons are an integral part of our everyday lives. In recent decades, they have changed their habits, finding cities to be ideal homes and, most of all, shelters from predators. Buildings and apartments have become their homes.
However, these birds can quickly become a nuisance if they settle in a house. Their dirty excrements, soiled and damaged equipment as well as the diseases they spread are some of the problems you may encounter. That is why you need to use appropriate accessories to keep them away.
Pigeons are also known for their good long-term memory and persistence. Once they decide on where they want to live, it is not easy for them to move. That is why you need to be rigorous and use appropriate accessories to prevent them from settling in your home. And so, Maille Store offers a full range of products, including netting, spikes and roof-tile stoppers.
Pigeons are currently building nests, so it is time to protect oneself against potential problems.

Window sills, balcony balustrades and gutters are pigeons' favourite spots. These areas are often shielded from wind, offering pigeons good vantage points and preventing predators from attack.
In such circumstances, the best way to deter pigeons is to use pigeon spikes. Do not worry, they will not hurt the birds, but only prevent them from finding a comfortable spot to rest on your house.
These spikes can be easily installed on window sills, other flat surfaces and gutters. Also, they are very easy to install. To do so, use a neutral silicone adhesive or clips to mount them to gutters.
