Pigeons

Pigeons as Pests

While pigeons traditionally were used to carry messages, they now tend to present large pest problem for residents in Arizona and Nevada, carrying diseases instead of messages. The majority of these diseases, including histoplasmosis, salmonellosis, and E.coli., are spread through consistent exposure to pigeon droppings. Pigeons can also carry other pests, such as ticks, fleas, and mites.

Not only are these birds noisy and messy, but pigeons can also pose a threat to building integrity. Their droppings can erode structures, and if one of their nests clogs your gutters, your business or home’s roof might pay the price of this infestation. When a pigeon is born on a structure, it forms a behavior attachment to that physical area, causing an uncontrollable urge to return to it (which is why we have homing pigeons). Therefore, trapping and removal is paramount to solving a pigeon problem.

Pigeon Pest Removal

Some cities are creating ordinances against feeding pigeons, including Phoenix, which will fine violators up to $2,500. While cities’ efforts to discourage pigeon populations are a good start, professional pigeon pest removal is the best way to keep these nuisance birds away. With Burns Pest Elimination’s bird and pigeon control, we use humane and long-lasting techniques and products to deter pigeons from making your home or business their home.
