London is very appealing to pigeons, offering abundant food sources, and great nesting site. In fact, most London offices have pigeon issues. But if you have a pigeon problem near your London office entrance, you will want to tackle it head on.
Pigeons are not going to want to stay where they cannot get food. With an effective waste management system, you can prevent the pigeons from accessing any food scraps that may have been thrown away. Ensure your bins lids are properly closed and emptied regularly. Ensure your cleaning team understands the importance of closing the bin lid, ensuring that everything is out of the birds reach.
You will also want to educate your employees on the importance of not feeding the pigeons, ensuring that they don't accidentally leave food out that can attract the birds. This includes the importance of cleaning any food or drink spills at your office entrance immediately, to deter these pests.
Pigeons are attracted to London as there are excellent nesting sites for them. This means ensuring you conduct regular maintenance at your office entrance, sealing any crevices or openings, such as ledges, window frames, and vents. You can install physical barriers, such a bird spikes to prevent the birds from landing and nesting on ledges, and other surfaces.
Another option is to install bird netting on overhangs, and other areas where pigeons gather near your office entrance.
If your efforts are failing, we recommend consulting with the professionals. If your pigeon problem persists, contacting pest control is sometimes the best option.
If you have a pigeon problem at near your London office entrance, then you want to ensure your office cleaning schedule and plan is tailored to ensure that the birds don't spread illness to your employees, which can increase absenteeism.

These pathogens can cause gastrointestinal issues, infections, and respiratory illnesses.
Regular office cleaning is essential to ensure you keep your London office clean and healthy. Regularly cleaning and disinfecting high touch surfaces, ensuring office desks are clean, regular mopping and vacuuming, along with the thorough cleaning of common areas, such a kitchens, and break rooms, are essential in ensuring you provide a spotless and hygienic workspace, while you tackle your pigeon problem outside.
Even with regular cleaning, your office will need a thorough deep clean from time to time, ensuring that every inch of your office remains clean and safe for your employees and visitors. Deep cleaning can include upholstery and carpet cleaning, window cleaning, and more.
