Pigeon Control
Protect your property from feral pigeons with professional pigeon control services that remove flocks, sanitize contaminated areas, and prevent future roosting.
5 Highlights on Pigeon Control
- Flock Removal and Dispersal — A & R Pest Solutions deploys trained technicians to locate active roosts, capture or disperse feral pigeons, and clear nesting sites from ledges, rooftops, balconies, and warehouse structures.
- Exclusion and Proofing Installations — Our team installs bird spikes, wire mesh, and netting systems that physically block pigeons from returning to preferred perching and roosting zones.
- Droppings Removal and Decontamination — Pigeon droppings carry fungal pathogens like Histoplasma capsulatum and parasites including mites and lice. We sanitize and disinfect all contaminated surfaces after removal.
- Humane Trapping and Relocation — We use certified cage traps and bait systems to capture pigeons humanely, following local wildlife regulations throughout the process.
- Ongoing Monitoring and Management — After treatment, our technicians inspect and monitor treated areas on a scheduled basis to confirm the infestation stays controlled long term.
Why Choose Our Pigeon Control
Pigeon control is a specialized service that demands more than a basic pest inspection. A & R Pest Solutions brings certified, professionally trained technicians to every job. Our team understands pigeon behavior — how flocks establish roosts, why they return to the same structures, and what combination of deterrents actually works in residential, commercial, and industrial settings.
We don’t rely on a single method. Our approach combines mechanical exclusion, biological deterrents, chemical repellents, and physical barriers tailored to your specific property. A warehouse roof needs a different solution than a residential balcony or a commercial silo. We assess each site individually before recommending any treatment.
Our pigeon control services meet professional industry standards for humane, non-toxic, and certified pest management. We use EPA-registered products and follow all local ordinances governing bird control and wildlife handling.
Every service comes with a satisfaction guarantee. If pigeons return to a treated area within the agreed service window, we come back and retreat at no additional charge. That’s the A & R Pest Solutions commitment — qualified work, trusted results, and a team that stands behind every installation and treatment we deliver.
Signs You Need Pigeon Control
1. Visible Roosting Flocks on Your Roof or Ledges: A flock of pigeons perching consistently on your roofline, parapet walls, or window ledges is a direct sign of an established roost. Pigeons are creatures of habit. Once they claim a structure, they return daily and the flock grows.
2. Accumulation of Droppings on Surfaces: Pigeon droppings are highly acidic and corrode building materials including metal, stone, and painted surfaces. Heavy accumulation on ledges, HVAC units, or loading docks signals an active infestation that needs immediate treatment.
3. Nesting Materials in Gutters or Vents: Pigeons build nests from twigs, feathers, and debris. Finding nesting materials packed into gutters, roof vents, or structural gaps means pigeons are actively breeding on your property. Nests block drainage and create fire hazards near electrical equipment.
4. Droppings Near Food Handling or Storage Areas: Pigeon droppings near food processing facilities, restaurants, or grain silos create serious contamination risks. Droppings carry Salmonella, Cryptococcus neoformans, and other pathogens that contaminate surfaces and air quality.
5. Mite or Lice Activity Inside the Building: When pigeons roost near HVAC intakes or roof penetrations, the parasites they carry — including mites and lice — can migrate indoors. If occupants report unexplained skin irritation or biting insects, a nearby pigeon roost is a likely source that warrants a full inspection.
Our Pigeon Control Process
Step 1 — Site Inspection Our technician inspects the full property to identify active roosts, nesting sites, entry points, and contaminated zones. We document flock size, roosting patterns, and structural vulnerabilities.
Step 2 — Treatment Plan We design a customized pigeon control plan that specifies which deterrents, exclusion products, and sanitation treatments apply to your site. Residential, commercial, and industrial properties each receive a tailored approach.
Step 3 — Exclusion and Deterrent Installation Our team installs bird spikes on ledges, wire mesh over vents and gaps, and netting systems across open structural areas. We deploy repellent gel and ultrasonic devices where appropriate.
Step 4 — Trapping and Removal Where active flocks require direct removal, we set humane cage traps baited to capture pigeons safely. Captured birds are relocated according to local regulations.
Step 5 — Droppings Removal and Decontamination We remove all droppings, feathers, and nesting debris, then sanitize and disinfect every contaminated surface using EPA-registered disinfectants.
Step 6 — Follow-Up Monitoring We schedule return inspections to monitor treated areas, confirm exclusion systems are holding, and address any new activity before it becomes a recurring infestation.

FAQs About Pigeon Control
What is pigeon control?
Pigeon control is a professional pest management service that removes feral pigeons from a property, installs deterrents to prevent roosting, and decontaminates areas affected by droppings and nesting debris.
When do I need pigeon control?
You need pigeon control when you notice consistent roosting flocks, droppings accumulation, nesting materials in gutters or vents, or contamination near food handling areas. The sooner you act, the smaller the flock and the lower the remediation cost.
Why are pigeons considered pests?
Feral pigeons carry diseases including histoplasmosis, cryptococcosis, and salmonellosis. Their droppings corrode building materials, contaminate surfaces, and create slip hazards. Parasites like mites and lice travel with them and can migrate indoors.
How does pigeon exclusion work?
Exclusion physically blocks pigeons from accessing roosting and nesting sites. Our technicians install bird spikes, wire mesh, netting, and electric track systems on ledges, rooftops, vents, and structural gaps where pigeons perch or nest.
Can pigeons be removed humanely?
Yes. We use cage traps and registered bait systems to capture pigeons without harming them. Captured birds are relocated according to local wildlife regulations. We also use non-lethal deterrents like ultrasonic devices, repellent gels, and visual scare systems.
Does pigeon control require multiple visits?
Most infestations need an initial treatment followed by at least one follow-up inspection. Larger flocks or heavily contaminated commercial properties may require a scheduled monitoring program to confirm the infestation stays controlled.
How long does pigeon control last?
Exclusion systems like spikes and netting provide long-term protection when properly installed and maintained. Repellent treatments and deterrents may need periodic reapplication. A & R Pest Solutions offers ongoing monitoring plans to keep your property pigeon-free year round.
