  • Pigeon Cleanup and Nest Removal in Phoenix

    Pigeon Cleanup and Nest Removal in Phoenix

    Pigeon Pros provides pigeon cleanup, pigeon droppings removal and nest removal for homes and businesses across the Phoenix metro area. We have served Arizona since May 1999. Start with a free in-person inspection so we can assess the buildup, access and affected surfaces and explain the recommended work.

    Pigeon droppings removal for homes and businesses

    Pigeon nests and droppings can accumulate on roofs, beneath solar panels, on ledges and around the areas below them. Our cleanup plan addresses the accessible affected areas and the nesting locations that need attention. We explain what is included in the estimate before the job is scheduled.

    Pigeon Clean Up Comes First

    Pigeons collect sticks and other nesting material around homes and businesses. Droppings can become mixed with that material and build up over time. Removing loose pigeon waste and nests is an important part of preparing the area for cleaning and any recommended pigeon proofing.

    1. Remove pigeon nests and loose droppings

    We begin by collecting and bagging loose droppings and nesting material from the agreed work areas. Removing this material before washing helps contain the mess. Access, the condition of the structure and the amount of buildup affect the work required.

    2. Clean the affected surfaces

    After the initial removal, we clean the affected areas using methods suited to the surface and its condition. Pressure washing is used where appropriate. Roof materials, solar equipment, walls and paved areas can require different treatment, which we assess during the inspection.

    3. Apply a bio-cleaner where appropriate

    Our cleanup process may include a bio-cleaner for areas with heavy pigeon-dropping accumulation and odors. The inspection and estimate establish the recommended treatment for your property. Cleanup does not replace a plan to address continued nesting and roosting.

    Help prevent the pigeon mess from returning

    Pigeon cleanup removes the existing mess, but accessible nesting and roosting areas can attract continued activity. We can combine cleanup with pigeon control, proofing and abatement to address the areas pigeons are using.

    Depending on the structure, that may include solar panel bird proofing, suitable screening for pigeons on your roof, or commercial pigeon netting. We explain the options and whether pigeon removal or trapping needs to be considered.

    Questions about pigeon cleanup

    How much does pigeon cleanup cost?

    The amount of nesting material and droppings, the size of the affected area, access and the cleaning methods all affect the price. Cleanup and exclusion may be quoted together when both are recommended. Request a free in-person inspection for an estimate based on your property.

    Can you clean pigeon poop from roofs and solar-panel areas?

    We inspect roof and solar-panel nesting areas and recommend the cleanup and access needed. Pigeon poop cleanup beneath an array is different from routine solar-panel washing. Tell us where you are seeing the mess so we can assess the affected areas and discuss suitable bird proofing.

    Do you provide commercial pigeon cleanup?

    Yes. We provide residential and commercial pigeon cleanup and removal. For commercial properties, please tell us about access requirements, affected entrances or work areas, and any scheduling restrictions when you request an inspection.

    Where is pigeon cleanup available?

    We serve Phoenix metro communities including Phoenix, Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Queen Creek, San Tan Valley, Surprise, Goodyear and Peoria. View our service areas or contact us to confirm service at your address.

    One customers pigeon control experience

    As a business owner or manager, it can be really hard to know what to do when it comes to a pigeon problem.  Pigeons can literally ruin business.  Wilhelm Automotive, one of Pigeonpros recent customers was dealing with pigeons pooping down on their customers and their customer vehicles.  It was a real problem for them.  

    Enter the Pigeonpros.  We stepped in and formulated a custom plan to alleviate the problem.  The pigeons simply had to be stopped.  Our plan was simple: First, clean up the mess, which took a couple of days alone.  Second block the pigeons from nesting in their favorite places, which we did as well.  Lastly, trapping, which in this case was very necessary as the pigeons were here at Wilhelm Automotive in large numbers.

    Pigeonpros is hard at work everyday eliminating pigeon problems for our customers

    We really appreciate Fox10 doing a news feature on Pigeonpros. Their reporter and camera guys were the best. We highly recommend them if you get invited for a feature on your company, do it. They were quick about it and showed a true representation of what we do here at Pigeonpros and how we control those pesky pigeons. Here’s the link below to their website if you want to go check it out.

    Professional Installation of Deterrents

    Pigeonpros installs professional deterrents with trained technicians. Quality and effective methods are foremost on our minds as we install the right pigeon products in the right places. If we install these deterrents correctly they are highly effective bird repellents and they will keep pigeons from landing. Correct installation gives us the best chance to help you become pigeon free.

    We constantly train our technicians how to install every product and pigeon repellant we use correctly, and how to use the right product or deterrent in the right place.

    Once the pigeon cleanup is done it’s time to install the recommended pigeon control deterrents on your home or business to keep these pest birds away. 

    Here are some examples of pigeon deterrents we install.

    • pigeon netting or bird netting
    • pigeon spikes or bird spikes
    • screening or mesh
    • Birdwire
    • Electric shock track
    • Daddy Long Legs

    Pigeon Netting

    Correctly installed pigeon netting looks amazing. That is if you notice it at all. Most likely, you’ve walked underneath and past some pigeon netting without even noticing.

    Hire the wrong company though, and you will notice. We want our pigeon control projects, especially our pigeon netting projects to last far past our 5 year warranty and we put the effort in to make sure that happens.

    Professional installation is critical to having pigeon netting that will deter the pigeons and keep them out as well as stand the test of time. Properly installed pigeon netting will keep the pigeons from roosting and or nesting on your property in key areas. Pigeon or bird netting is one of the best pigeon control products on the market.

    Pigeon Spikes or Bird Spikes

    pigeon deterrent spikes, or bird control spikes can work very well for controlling pigeons perching on small or narrow ledges, or beams. Spikes come in many sizes and widths. it is important to know which spike to use where.

    Hire the right local pigeon control company

    Hiring a company like Pigeonpros is often your best bet to match up the right spike for the job. Also, spikes sometimes need to be installed up high and to do it safely may require special equipment like the correct ladder or a lift. Hiring an experienced professional pigeon control company can also provide you with a solid guarantee in case something goes wrong.

    Screening or Mesh

    For small openings, alcoves, and eaves, screen or mesh can be a perfect way to eliminate your pigeons nest area. This is a very difficult thing for our technicians to get good at and requires months of practice to perfect. The idea here is that the screen or mesh won’t be an eyesore for our customers, but will still keep the pigeons out. We pride ourselves on our work looking great.

    Birdwire

    Pigeons love to sit on the peak of the roof and the edge of the roof. Also, pigeons love to sit on the parapet wall or pony wall of buildings and poop down the sides. Pigeons will do this because they can see predators coming to get them better and they can also watch their nests and feeding grounds.

    The pigeon control solution to this is often Birdwire. A simple stainless steel cable installed that runs 3-6 inches above the edge of the ridge or wall and keeps the birds from getting comfortable. In many instances, Birdwire works surprisingly well, for how simple in concept it is. Professional installation is vital to hold up long term to the bird traffic that tends come in these areas.

    Electric shock track

    It goes without saying, nobody likes to get shocked by electricity, birds included in this group. Electric shock systems are effective for pigeons when they are working, however electric shock systems are high maintenance and costly. We have installed electric shock many times, but the systems do require very frequent,high maintenance and are often not cost effective for the expense they require to maintain.

    Daddy Long Legs or Bird Spiders

    Have you ever seen the spider looking thing installed up high to prevent birds perching in an area. We install these in light pressure situations where we need to protect up to an 8′ diameter circle such as a chimney. These bird deterrents are highly visible and not recommended in many instances.
