We provide pigeons with all of their lifestyle and nutritional needs. Our structures, buildings and landscapes often provide areas where pigeons can nest and live comfortably. These areas include ledges, roof alcoves, shaded areas and openings that allow structural entry. Add to that dense tree growth with shaded protection. Then we place decorative fountains in our yards 

We allow our landscaped areas to be over watered and create standing water. A drinking source. Our multi – story rooftops provide the panoramic views that they enjoy. 

We often ignore the problem until it becomes a nuisance. The droppings, nesting material, dead birds and the noted cooing sound is obvious

Please understand this first. 

Nesting is the practice of living in their homes. (Usually Alcoves) In other words, this is where they spend their time, have their babies, and build up the often-noticeable bowl-shaped feces and other materials nest. The nesting of the pigeons is the initial area to focus on correcting. Roosting is the practice of the birds at certain times of the day where they fly and land on the peaks of the roofs. This is their observation point that allows them to view areas, find food, water, and foraging sites.

Shooting, trapping, poisoning, are all options. We just don’t think they are the best choices. Residential areas can be of concern. One mistake and non-target animals or humans can be affected. Commercial areas are of concern as well. 

Arizona Pest Prevention provides pigeon correction that in many ways is similar to the extensive work we perform on buildings for roof rat problems. The work is not inexpensive, but consider our successful results? We will generally focus on the pigeon nesting areas and work to preclude pigeons from entering. We can place a mesh screen, (Not Chicken Wire) single or double bird spike or place Optical Gel Pods or a Caulking like material as both repel Pigeon presence. Monitor activity once work has been completed. Immediately respond to continuing or new activity. First, Target nesting areas excluding pigeon peace and quiet.
