SUCCESSFUL PIGEON REMOVAL AT A MALL

Pigeon Removal Program Successfully Removes the Entire Flock

PARTNER

Towers Mall in Roanoke, Virginia

  • Meridian worked directly with the property manager to understand the issue and propose the solution

OBJECTIVE

Meridian was asked to solve a nuisance pigeon problem that had been present for several years.

  • Pigeons were damaging the roof and leaving droppings on the mall facade
  • The pigeon issues negatively affected customer perceptions
  • Pigeon droppings and nests smelled terrible in the delivery area for employees and vendors

SOLUTION

Meridian used the pigeon removal system to effectively assess, remove and monitor the birds and to solve the bird issues for Towers Mall long term.

  • The assessment phase revealed the presence of over 100 pigeons
  • The population was initially reduced by over 90% in the first year of service utilizing trapping and live capture techniques
  • Over the next 3 years, regular monthly inspections revealed when the population started to increase again, and a quick removal followed
  • Due to the success, inspections have now been reduced in frequency to every other month, and the population remains under control

RESULTS

The population was initially reduced by over 90% in the first year of service.
