URBAN OUTDOOR FURNITURE

Living in the city often means sharing space with pigeons, whose droppings can damage and soil your outdoor furniture. Protecting your patio or balcony investment requires a multi-pronged approach. First, consider physical barriers as the most reliable solution. Install bird netting around your balcony perimeter or use specially designed furniture covers when items are not in use. Bird spikes placed on railings and flat surfaces deter pigeons from landing. For a more subtle approach, use visual or sensory deterrents. Reflective tapes, decoy predators like owl statues, or ultrasonic repellents can scare pigeons away. Applying non-toxic, gel-based bird repellents creates a sticky surface they dislike. Regularly clean any droppings with a disinfectant to remove acidic residues that harm furniture finishes. Removing food sources and standing water is crucial; ensure trash is sealed and avoid feeding other birds. Consistency is key—combining several humane methods will provide the best defense, keeping your urban oasis clean and pigeon-free.
