As, they can be found in small rocky outcroppings, they are named as ?rock doves?. True to their native home, a city also gives the pigeons some excellent resting places. Peoples feed them and they tend to live on any diet, which has lead to the increase in the population of the pigeons, building the necessity of pigeon control.

Pigeons sometimes can bring on a variety of hard to diagnose diseases. The cure of these infectious diseases is also hard to find. Hence also, there is the need for an effective pigeon control. One of best way is exclusion, which, in fact is not an easy proposition.

Physical Barriers like bird netting, pigeon spikes, porcupine strips can help in the regard. In some areas, toxicants and poisons are also used for pigeon control. Strychnine, a type of poison, is usually used in this process.
