As the most reviled and revered bird in the world, pigeons have caused a divide between people who worship them as fertility goddesses and those who consider them as nothing more than “flying rats.” It is safe to say that most property owners who have experienced a significant amount of damage done to their property by pigeon droppings probably don’t hold them in very high regard.

Fortunately, Celtic Pest Control provides the most reliable and effective pest control for bird removal that keeps pigeons from perching on your property. We offer commercial and residential pest control in Reno, including various bird control methodsYou no longer have to live with incessant, prolonged cooing and widespread pigeon droppings. Read further to learn more about the habits and characteristics of these birds and the number one way to put a stop to them.

Characteristics Of The Urban Pigeon 

Whether you refer to them as urban pigeons, city doves, or street pigeons, they are all feral pigeons. These birds flock to cities and towns and perch high atop buildings to nest and look for food below. No tall structure is safe. From ledges to utility installations, you’ll find urban pigeons in abundance. Their pattern and color vary considerably compared to the domestic pigeon from which they descended. Urban pigeons tend to display darker plumage than those in more rural areas.

All The Problems Pigeons Can Create On Your Property

Most people think of pigeons as harmless birds until they have descended upon their property and refuse to leave. Unless you have experienced it yourself, pigeons can cause serious damage to your home and spread several different diseases.

Check out the following  list of dangers pigeons can cause:

  • Roof Damage: Nests cause clogged gutters.
  • Fire: Nesting materials are highly flammable. 
  • Diseases: Droppings can result in histoplasmosis, cryptococcosis, and psittacosis.

If your property is enduring a pigeon infestation, it is critical to contact a professional exterminating company near you that offers bird control services. Bringing in experts specializing in wildlife removal will successfully rid your property of troublesome pigeons.

Factors That Attract Pigeons To Your Property

Heights may be one of your phobias, but they aren’t for pigeons. Heights attract these, and most birds, to homes and buildings for nesting and an unobstructed view of potential food sources. And since you probably don’t access your rooftop daily where pigeons congregate, they have free rein to use it at their discretion without interruption. Pigeons are also drawn to balconies and window ledges, especially for perching during daylight hours. Check out the three other parts of your home that attract pigeons:

  1. Solar panels
  2. Air conditioning units
  3. Gutters

Pigeons gather in many places people can't or won't access and are difficult for most residents to control. Pest control for bird removal is the best option for keeping pigeons away from your property.
