This is the correct answer.


I had a 2 story double behind mine several years ago that had a louvered entry on a back attic wall that was missing several louvers and it wasn't long before pigeons found a roost. At one time it got so bad that there were at least 50 of them flying in and out all day long. The lean-to roof under the opening was covered in pigeon shite and I'd imagine the attic space was just as bad with nests, broken eggshells, etc.

I talked to the people living there and they passed that info to the landlord but he did nothing about it for over a year. Then one day I saw the louvered cover completely off and a couple guys heading in. Pigeons started leaving and not long after that they covered the opening with a sheet of plywood to keep them out.

The guys showed up again a couple days later and looked like they were cleaning up nuclear waste with white body suits, goggles, filtered face masks and a bunch of garbage bags.

Bottom line------stop the madness early on and avoid the mess.
