CASE STUDY: INSTORE PIGEON INFESTATION

Case Study: Jysk Home Furnishings, Scott Rd, Surrey, BC, Canada

JSYK, on Scott Road in Surrey, B.C., had pigeons infesting their patio furniture area which was undercover but outside. Pigeons were nesting in warehouse shelving that contained patio chairs and outside furniture. The pigeon nests were often causing total loss of some furniture. Furniture could not be cleaned so had to be thrown out. Each year they were suffering thousands of dollars in stock losses because of not wanting to deal with their pigeon problem.

When Deturd Bird Control arrived, there were about 12 pigeons living in the patio area and one or two birds living inside the store and could not get out.

Solution over 3 visits:

  1. Eliminated instore pigeons and most patio resident pigeons;
  2. Installed bird netting to prevent birds from perching on roof beams;
  3. Eliminated birds roosting on outside overhead sign and two patio area pigeons.

Results: The local flock of pigeons have learned this area is a no-fly zone!
