As a general rule, lasers should not be pointed skyward, not even to evict bothersome sky rats pigeons. However, there are certain situations in which using a laser pointer safely is permissible, such as pointing out constellations in a dark field far from any air traffic.

If you accidentally shine your laser on an aircraft, you run the risk of causing major issues for the crew and may receive a visit from some very irate law enforcement officers.

There are many other ways to get rid of pigeons, some of which are used at airports and many of which are more effective (and safer) than your laser idea. Your local Animal Control group may be able to offer some additional ideas.

(Steer clear of the “predator bird statue” notion; from what I’ve seen, pigeons recognize it as a fake and use it as a lavatory. ).

I scare squirrels and grackles away from my bird feeder with a marshmallow gun. The biodegradable and delicious mini marshmallows and the popping guns are enough to send the animals running. If you do the extremely rare thing of actually hitting them, you won’t get hurt forever.

To answer your question, I believe you could cause the pigeons to become blind and accumulate negative pigeon karma.

This kind of laser is class 3B laser. You may not be allowed to possess it. Even so, there are significant technical limitations with this laser, like the fact that it will deactivate if you point it upward.

Proven laser bird deterrent

Due to gull roosting issues, Oswestry Water Treatment Works was facing a significant health risk to the water quality from bird guano, feather moult, and food scraps. Following the completion of a comprehensive survey, we used Agrilaser technology in conjunction with hawks and falcons for an 8-week trial period.

Because of the program’s great success, the species no longer spends the night roosting there, and the Agrilaser system is now permanently installed in addition to an annual falconry program. Read the full story here.
