How to kill squatting Pigeons

[chef]

maybe a question for Wilmslow, anyway, I have a 1 brick gap under the eaves of my roof and a family of pigeons has taken up squatting..

short of bricking up the hole and listening to dying pigeons how is best to go about getting rid?

Two wires across the space connected to the mains.
