Recently we have noticed that the pigeons will nest, roost and sit on the ledges making a huge mess. Some of the ledges have spikes, but this is an even bigger attraction for the pigeons. The mess has become a problem as the pigeons now flock to this specific building. Our resident cats we think have enough mice and rats to contend with and the pigeons mostly stay up on the fourth floor roof or window ledges.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Is there a solution for this problem, please any advice will do.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Regards,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Heidi<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Dr H.
