Does Pigeon Gel Work?

Repellent gels have been around for a long time and there are many different versions available. They can be a legitimate part of an effective bird control program. The application of a bird repellent gel will theoretically work to deter any bird species. That is, as long as it's applied correctly for the specific bird problem you're dealing with. If you're looking for effective pigeon control, the gel should be applies in a bead roughly the circumference of a #2 pencil. You want it applied in an irregular pattern, never leaving gaps of more than a few inches wide. For smaller birds, the circumference of the bead should be much smaller so swallows and other small species don't get stuck in the larger beads of gel. The spacing should also be closer. We do not recommend applying any pigeon repellent gel to solar panels.

How Do You Remove Bird Repellent Gel?
