What Makes Pigeons a Problem

While pigeons may initially seem harmless, they create major sanitation and structural issues over time. Their droppings are acidic and can damage paint, concrete, and rooftop equipment.

Accumulated waste also creates health risks, harboring bacteria, fungi, and parasites that may spread to people and pets.
Nesting pigeons are noisy, messy, and persistent. You might notice feathers, nesting debris, or foul odors where they roost. Once established, they return to the same site unless exclusion steps are taken.

How We Handle Pigeon Removal

Arizona Termites & Pest Solutions uses humane, effective pigeon control methods. After identifying nesting and roosting areas, we remove debris, sanitize the site, and install exclusion products such as bird netting, roof spikes, or solar panel barriers.

In some cases, we use visual or sonic deterrents to discourage return. Our team is trained in pigeon-safe handling and cleanup protocols to ensure a safe, permanent solution.

Tips for Keeping Pigeons Away

To deter pigeons, eliminate food sources and water access around your property. Don’t leave pet food outside, and seal off open garbage bins. Block off access to roof voids, attic vents, and under solar panels.

Regular inspections and maintenance are crucial—especially in high-activity areas like commercial buildings or multifamily housing. Pigeons are creatures of habit, so acting quickly is key to preventing long-term damage.
