I have some pigeons nesting/roosting under my A/C unit when I moved into my home, but since then have taken care of the problem. I thought I would never have this problem.

Has anyone else had similar issues?

I have some up in the tree that overhangs my driveway. My truck is constantly getting 'bombed' by them. How did you take care of the problem?

Not near my AC, which is on the ground, but on some pillars in the entry to my home. I had some spikes put up there and painted to match the house... there are companies that will do stuff like that for you.

Bungle... pigeons in trees? That in itself is a little unusual. Hard to keep any bird out of a tree if it wants to be there.

Live trapping and pigeon screening a few weeks ago and now the pesky birds are no longer at my house. Although I can't say the same for some neighbors.

Spike strips work well. Glue traps were messy, but the mother bird came back for her baby and was eliminated also.

I have never used glue traps before, but stainless steel spikes are the best solution for any pesky bird roosting. Will NOT prevent nesting though. The bird will simply drop debris on top of the spikes and continue to nest.

I have pillars and beams where they roost. I pushed chicken wire up in those spots and that seems to have done the trick.

Are they stainless or polymer?
