500-Year-Old Village Tricks to Keep Pigeons Away – Try These 5 Effective Home Remedies!
Tired of Pigeon Mess? This Ancient Trick Guarantees They’ll Never Return!
Pigeons, often seen as symbols of peace, have become a nuisance for many due to their growing population and messy habits. While some people adore them and even care for them, others may find them intruders to their open spaces. From dirtying balconies to making clothes drying impossible, these birds are driving people crazy. If you’re fed up with pigeons invading your space, we bring you a 500-year-old village trick and five proven home remedies to keep them away for good!
1. The Fake Snake Trick (The 500-Year-Old Secret!)
A viral YouTube channel, Indian Boy Kk, shared an age-old trick: place a rubber snake near your windows or balcony where pigeons frequently gather. Pigeons are terrified of snakes, and just one glance will send them flying away—never to return!
2. Shiny Objects Scare Them Off
Pigeons hate reflective surfaces. Hang old CDs, aluminum foil strips, or shiny ribbons near pigeon hotspots. When sunlight reflects off these objects, pigeons avoid the area.
3. Water Spraying Works Like Magic
Pigeons dislike water, especially when resting. Regularly spraying water where they perch removes their scent markings, making them forget their favorite spots.
4. Strong Smells Keep Them Away
Pigeons have a strong sense of smell. Use garlic, black pepper, or chili powder mixed with water as a spray. Alternatively, place naphthalene balls (phenyl tablets) in small pieces—their pungent odor repels pigeons effectively.
5. Maintain Cleanliness
Pigeons nest where they feel safe and find food. Daily cleaning disrupts their nesting habits. A clean space is less attractive to them, ensuring they don’t return.
