Pigeon and Bird Control Service Specialists Phoenix, Arizona
Birds cause millions of dollars of damage annually to motor vehicles, structures, machinery, ventilation systems, warehoused products, aircraft, the list goes on and on. This is where a bird control company can help.
Why Bird Control is the Answer
Another reason to look into bird control in Phoenix, Arizona is roof damage which can be a costly problem. Acidic bird droppings eat away at many substrates, especially tar-based roofing materials. In a fairly short time, Bird droppings can literally destroy a roof. In addition, many types of Birds often build their nests in drains, rain gutters, roof corners, allowing water to build up. This can cause a roof to collapse, resulting in a huge expense for the property owner. In fact, Pigeons have invaded attics of houses, apartments, restaurants and other buildings, built colonies of nests to cause catastrophic damage. Over time, the sheer weight of their accumulated droppings caused ceilings to collapse.
Even the sight of Bird droppings can result in huge losses for a company. Droppings and nesting materials on or around a building, particularly a restaurant, can be a real turn off to potential customers.
Birds, droppings, and nesting materials can carry sixty (60) different diseases that can be passed to humans and animals.
Ectoparasites [a parasite living outside of host on skin or in hair] live on Pigeons. Some ectoparasites associated with pigeons and other Birds include: pigeon nest bug, pigeon tick, pigeon fly, European chicken flea, pigeon flea, Conenose bug, Chicken mite, and the Northern fowl mite.
Did you know? With the exception of the common pigeon, the house sparrow, and the European starling, all Birds are federally protected by law.
Five broad components for managing urban pest birds:
- Survey – identify sites being used at different times of day
- Sanitation – remove food/water sources
- Exclusion/habitat alteration – make inaccessible nesting, roosting, loafing sites
- Repellents – discourage Pigeons/other Birds from using area with repellent/exclusionary devices
- Population reduction – baits, traps

We utilize an Integrated Pest Management (I.P.M.) approach for Arizona Pest Control. This comprehensive approach includes:
- Inspection - Service specialists conduct a thorough inspection of the property.
- Identification - Pests are identified for appropriate control measures.
- Environmental Modification - All possible environmental modification solutions are considered prior to any material application.
- Material Application - When a thorough inspection has been performed, a proper identification has been assessed, and all environmental modification options have been made (if applicable), a material application will be performed in a judicious, environmentally responsible manner.
Our technicians, when scheduled to do an on-site Bird Control inspection, will provide you with a customized Bird Control proposal. This provides you with a professional solution to your Pigeon Control issues.
Supplement our Bird Control service by carrying out all the following preventive suggestions. While these are not guaranteed fixes, they greatly augment our professional Bird Control application(s):
1. Install Bird Spikes
Place bird spikes on ledges, windowsills, and any flat surfaces where pigeons like to perch. These spikes make it uncomfortable for them to land.
2. Use Bird Netting
Install bird netting around areas where pigeons like to nest, such as balconies, rooftops, and vents. This prevents them from gaining access to those areas.
3. Use Pigeon Repellent Gel
There are non-toxic, sticky gels available that create an unpleasant surface for pigeons. Apply these gels to areas where pigeons tend to roost.
4. Seal Entry Points
Check for any gaps, cracks, or holes around your home where pigeons might be entering or nesting, and seal them up to prevent access.
5. Trim Nearby Trees or Shrubs
Pigeons like to nest in trees or shrubs close to your house, so trimming back vegetation near your home can reduce their access to these perching and nesting spots.
6. Keep the Area Clean
Pigeons are attracted to food sources, so keeping your home and surrounding areas free of crumbs, birdseed, and garbage can help deter them from settling in.
By combining these methods, you can effectively discourage pigeons from making your home their own.
REMEMBER: All pests need 3 things to survive - FOOD, WATER, & SHELTER!
