Getting rid of pigeons is better done sooner than later. These birds are known to carry mites, ticks, and even fleas. Their droppings can ruin the paint on a car or building. The nest can clog vents and drains.
The best way to stop their infesting your building is to seal it up so they cannot enter to begin with. They like dark, out of the way places, so be sure to seal up any open areas in your eaves, attics, or rafters. They can't occupy an area that they can't to enter.
Some things that will act as repellents in places where the birds have set up housekeeping. The idea behind them is to make the birds so unhappy they will choose to leave. Spike strips can be purchased at hardware stores or online. The strips will make the birds feet highly uncomfortable.
A pest control professional can probably give you some good pointers. They carry chemicals that will make the bird stick to the area, or cause burns to its feet. It won't be long before they know they have over stayed their welcome.
At home repellents can be designed. You may be able to concoct some wiring that has an electrical current running through it. A sprinkler will keep them away while you make repairs as they hate water. If you can make anything that resembles a cat, snake, or owl, this could keep them gone as they are natural enemies.
If all else has failed and you are thinking of finding a way to kill the birds, check with your city ordinance. They may restrict the use of certain chemicals. Avoid ultrasonic repellents. You may as well go out and burn your money, these things are so worthless at getting rid of pigeons.
