One-way exclusion funnels are one of the most
effective ways of getting rid of intruding
animals in your house or your barn. Although it
has its successes, it doesn’t mean that it will
chase the pigeons away from your farm, you can
only install the funnels in an enclosed place
like a house and this means that they are free
to roam anywhere else except in your house. If
getting the pigeons out of your house, let me
teach you how to employ the use of one-way
funnels.
One-way funnels have to be installed directly on
the building for them to be successful. They
have to be installed on the routes where the
pigeons fly into your house. You can choose to
have a cage at the exit point of the funnel, but
if you are not ready to trap the harmless
pigeons, then it is best to leave it open.
First you have to investigate all the openings
in your house or the place from which you want
to get rid of the pigeons. Depending on the
condition of the house, there may be multiple
entry and exit points. If there are several
unmanageable holes, you should seal most of them
and then leave open only those that you are sure
you can be able to buy and install the funnels
on. The sealing can be done with any material
since the pigeons are not really chewers.
During the buying, you will note that the
funnels have a broad end and also a narrow end.
The broad end should be the entry point while
the narrow end is the exit point. The point of
having these two ends is so that the pigeons may
be able to get into one end, but they can never
be able to enter through the narrow end; it is
just big enough for exit. The broad end is the
point you will install facing the interior of
the house while the narrow end should be to the
outside of the house.
If you install them in the right way, then the
pigeons can only exit the building but no entry
can be made into the building. The good thing
with these funnels is that they can be installed
at any time of the day. The noise you make while
walking up the roof or while going up a ladder
will chase away some few of the scared ones.
Those that remain will have to get out of the
building through the funnels and they can never
get back.
The downside of this method is using it on a
place with so many opening, like barn, can be a
problem. This is because you have to find and
seal all the openings. Leaving a single opening
unmanned can give the pigeons a chance to come
back into the house and flourish once again.
