Discover how to easily and affordably deter pigeons from destroying your garden with this unexpected trick.
Spring has sprung and gardeners are eager to get their hands dirty, planting a mix of vibrant flowers and delicious vegetables. But with the arrival of warmer weather comes an unwelcome guest: the garden-robbing pigeon. These feathery fiends can wreak havoc, feasting on your hard-earned crops and leaving behind unsightly, acidic droppings that can damage surfaces and attract other pests like rats.
As pigeon breeding season gets underway, it's more important than ever to keep these unwelcome visitors at bay. Luckily, experts have some clever, budget-friendly tips to help deter these feathered foes. One surprisingly effective solution involves a most unlikely tool: tin foil. Garden expert Adeel ul-haq advises: 'First, notice where the pigeons spend most of their time in your garden. It could be around the bird bath, windowsills, or even a garden bench,' reports the Express. Adeel suggests scattering crumpled balls of tin foil on strings throughout the garden. The reflective surface of the foil will move in the breeze, startling the pigeons and making them think danger might be lurking. 'Pigeons are creatures of habit,' explains Adeel. 'If they think your garden is a safe space, they will return often.' By creating an environment that's less appealing to pigeons, you can effectively discourage them from taking up residence in your garden. Adeel's tip is not only effective but also easy and inexpensive to implement, making it a win-win solution for gardeners looking to protect their hard work
