I understand your frustration. I love pigeons and have bred them for many years, but wild ones can be a pain.
The plastic owls, etc., have a deterrent effect of about two days, then the birds get used to them and perch on them pretty much. If there is no way that you can physically keep the birds out, then I would suggest another possible idea. Go to a kite store. Specialty kite shops often have what I call "flapping wing bird" kites. Some of these are designed to look like hawks, gulls, etc. Get a couple of the hawk ones and post them onto stakes, etc., or from a ceiling, etc., so that they can "fly"
They need to be able to "fly" intermittently, either in a natural breeze or perhaps in a fan. I've suggested this method to a few people in the past and it's seemed to have worked. The sudden flapping of a "predator" spooks the pigeons and if it happens often enough (without any sort of schedule that they can get used to), they usually decide the "fear" isn't worth it and go somewhere else.
Now having said that, I hope you've also closed off places where they may be nesting, etc., so they don't have any urge to come back again.
Good luck -- and at some point when you see others suggesting this and charging for it down the road, remember I said it first :-)

Get out there butt naked, screaming like a raving lunatic and chase those stupid pigeons away once and for all, believe me this works. And if by some strange circumstance you feel the need to experience a "Pigeon" go right ahead, no one will dare stop you in your ultimate form of Power. This method is Also tried and tested and highly successful.

I have seen people use plastic cats and owls for this, don'r know if it works, but you can get them at places like Home Depot and Lowes.

Bring in a couple of hawks; pigeons are one of their favorite foods!
