Pigeon droppings: Good or bad?


We all know that pigeon droppings are bad. They have a foul smell and they are the carriers of innumerable diseases. In addition, the acidic nature of the pigeon droppings corrodes natural stones like marble and granite and mars their beauty. Pigeon bird dropping is seen as a potent threat to both private and public buildings. 



But do you know that pigeon droppings were considered to be quite useful during 16th and 18th centuries in Europe? These were used as a natural fertilizer due to the good nourishing values. Pigeon poop was found to be an excellent source of fertilizer for melon crops in Iran. In Italy and in France, pigeon bird droppings were used to fertilize vineyards and hemp crops.

Moreover, in England around the 16th century, pigeon droppings were used for making gunpowder. Pigeon droppings contain saltpetre that is believed to be a valuable ingredient for making gunpowder. Guards were made to stand outside pigeon houses to prevent thieves from stealing the pigeon droppings. Strange isn’t it??

What was considered so valuable then has become a cause of worry for most of us now. Pigeon droppings spread several infections and viruses that can be very harmful for humans and pets. Further, they cause loss of over hundreds and thousands of dollars every year by spoiling the expensive buildings and structures across the world.

If you are having a tough time due to the menace caused by the pigeons, look for a reputable bird control company and make your home and building safe and free from pigeons.
