Questions:
Does anyone else experience issues with pigeons inhabiting equipment causing the equipment to be parked for extended periods of time? If so, what strategies have you found effective for getting rid of them and preventing their return?
We have lots of bird issues, not pigeons but we have a spreadsheet with all of our equipment listed and it is the laborers responsibility to check all of our equipment for bird nesting signs, they have to make sure this is completed during day shifts during nesting season. All of our parked equipment is expected to be inspected. If we find any signs of bird activity we move the equipment or flag it off with bird deterrents.
