Discussion on Resolution for the Installation of Spikes at areas affected by pigeons

11.3 Installation of Spikes at affected areas

To consider and if approved, to resolve by way of Special Resolution to empower the Management Council to install the spikes at affected areas at a budget not exceeding S$30,000.00 to be financed from sinking fund and to empower the incoming Management Council to negotiate the terms and conditions with the appropriate vendors.
Explanatory notes: A whole stack of units at Blk 92 was badly affected by pigeons nesting and defecating at their balcony and air-conditioner ledges for over a year. Some of the areas are beyond reach to be cleaned. Pigeons cannot be culled. Pest control service provider has also done whatever they could. No authority was able to assist in this matter and one of the best proposals recommended by a pest control company was to install spikes on these ledges to prevent the pigeons from landing and dirtying the area. As an interim measure, hi-jetting of the air-conditioner and balcony ledges were carried out at a cost $1,525(W GST) from 10 – 17 Dec 12 but the pigeons came back. This phenomena can happen to any block.

You have to do it to all the blocks or all over the estate where the pigeon may nest. Otherwise the problem will shift about. Will this not affect the facade of the building or the look of the whole estate?
