Regardless of which method you prefer to use, we discourage you from using poison.

The Threats of Using Poison against Pigeons

You probably think that the poison that you will use will only affect the Texas pigeons; however, this is not the case. In fact, there are millions of homeowners that are being exposed to poisons on a yearly basis. Around half of them are individuals ages 6 years old and below. 

Risk of Secondary Poisoning

The Pearland creature that accidentally ingested poison will not die immediately. In fact, some of them will suffer for weeks. During this time, the pigeon’s movement will be a lot slower that will make it easy for the predators to capture them. This can cause secondary poisoning. Secondary poisoning will affect the immune system of the host that will make them susceptible to common diseases. This can greatly increase their mortality rate.

Indiscriminate Killer

Poisons are considered as indiscriminate killer which means that you are exposing the other Texas animals and your kids to the same level of threat.
