Find the access route before choosing a product
Recurring droppings are evidence of recurring bird access. Look at where pigeons enter, where they land, whether they shelter overhead, and whether nesting material is present.
A balcony that birds can fly into is a different problem from a single narrow ledge. Treating the wrong surface can leave the main route unchanged.
Match the method to the property condition
Bird netting creates a physical barrier across an opening and is often the clearest option when pigeons use the balcony itself. Bird spikes are intended for defined landing surfaces. Other deterrents may fit exposed edges or building conditions that do not require full exclusion.
- Use netting to address an open balcony access route.
- Use spikes only where a specific ledge or edge is the repeat perch.
- Include strata, maintenance, pet, and visibility requirements in the scope.
Reset the area and prevent the same cycle
Cleaning improves the current condition, while exclusion or deterrence addresses what happens next. Planning both together can avoid repeatedly cleaning the same accessible area.
Send one wide photo, one close view of the problem surface, and any useful access details. That is usually enough to begin a focused conversation about the property.
