Peacock Problem
Signs a Peacock is on Your Property
Peacocks are known for their brightly feathered tails. Peacocks feed off of plants and insects that they find on the ground. Most peacocks are native to Southeast Asia and were likely brought to the United States as early as the 19 century. However, there is a growing population of peacocks across many parts of Florida. Once a few peacocks have escaped from captivity, they can repopulate quickly, creating a peafowl epidemic.z
Dangers of Peacock Infestation
Peacocks usually travel in groups of one male and several females. This means that any problems one may pose to homeowners will be multiplied. These messy birds often dig in flowerbeds, leave behind feces on porches, and harm roofs and skylights when they land. Cars are also targets for peacocks, as the pests mistake their reflections in shiny paint, windows, or mirrors for rival birds and attack them. In addition to property damage, the birds often make loud, high-pitched calls around dawn and late evening. These are especially common during mating season from early spring to autumn, when the pests are also at their most territorial and aggressive.
Humane Peacock Removal & Control Strategies
Entry into property
While they may look heavy and unwieldy with their long tails, peacocks are actually one of the largest species of flying birds. Unfortunately, this means that they can easily enter yards over tall fences and barriers. Outdoor animal food, birdseed, compost piles, and backyard gardens may all attract them.
Trapping & Removal
To keep peacocks away from yards, homeowners can use several tactics. One would be to remove possible food sources. Fence off young plants with wire mesh on all four sides and above to keep them safe until they are larger and less attractive to the pests. Residents can also add several species of plants to gardens that repel peacocks like azaleas, cacti, lavender, iris, chrysanthemum, poinsettias, and roses. If the pests decide to make an appearance anyways, use sprinklers or hoses to harmlessly scare them away.
Prevention & Exclusion
Trapping a peacock can be a difficult task for those without the proper training. Not only are the pests often too large for conventional traps, but they will fight back with their sharp beaks and spiked feet by pecking, scratching, and biting anyone that gets too close. To safely remove peacocks from properties, rely on the wildlife professionals at Trutech.
