Any HSE bods here? Got a workshop full of pigeons, what can I do?
For the last fortnight we've had pigeons coming into the workshops trying to nest, the foreman won't have anything done about it as
he's a big animal lover but they've been locked in all weekend, turd everywhere including over my snap on box and it stinks in here.
Surely there's a health and safety issue?

Pigeon poo can harbour all sorts of nasties.
We have to get it cleaned out of some sites before we can make a start.
"Pigeon excrement in lofts attics, walkways, towers, etc. creates a health hazard for the building occupants, such as employees, visitors, and
even people walking down the street. When pigeon excrement dries the organisms within travel as airborne contaminants, inhaling the spores from
infected droppings can result in infection. If you have this type off problem, it is essential you engage services such as those we provide to reduce
the risks highlighted on this website."
Close the gaps up, get this lad in http://www.effectivebirdcontrol.co.uk/hygiene.html and then get it cleaned up.

Surely one of your work colleagues is asthmatic and allergic to feathers? That would certainly make it necessary to do something (on health+safety
grounds).
If you think it's messy at the moment just wait until they nest. The pigeons just drop the baby pigeon poo sacks over the edge of the nest, at
least with an adult there's a chance it'll be going out to get food in which case it'll be crapping outside.

That would be me then, don't suffer bad with it but put a feather pillow under my head and I'll be wheezing for days. Going to speak to
one of the office wollers in a bit see what they're going to do

They are one of the worst forms of disease carriers we have. They are just as bad as rats so get the air rifle out and enjoy ....

My local B&Q has a dummy hawk on it's roof, with a speaker that plays hawk screeching noises all the time - I have no idea whether it
works...
... perhaps you could try playing hawk or eagle calls to see whether it spooks them enough to scare them away.
You could also have loads of fun making a bird scarer - you have to make some really noisy bangs at irregular intervals. Odds on that you will jump
more than the birds though...

Shooting them is the best way to get rid off them and then cook them up and enjoy.
