If you live in a private house and you don’t like the visits that pigeons make every now and then, try to fight them in a humane way – with the help of some plants.

According to "experienced" people, the smells they emit can scare away these birds.

It turns out that pigeons don’t like crops such as onions and garlic – their pungent aroma and taste are very unpleasant for the birds.

As a result, pigeons will try to stay away from places where onions and garlic grow.

But simply planting onions mixed with garlic around the perimeter of your property is not enough.

First, you should pay special attention to those areas that are most favored by the "messengers of peace." These may be trees or flowers that they like.

And secondly, try to make sure that pigeons do not have constant access to food in your yard, as well as the opportunity to build nests.

Otherwise, you will have to suffer from pigeon droppings and a pecked harvest.

For reference

Pigeons are a genus of birds from the Columbidae family.
