Pigeons nest inside of their own feces which will tend to build up over time. Their feces is the perfect insulation to keep their eggs cool in our extremely hot Las Vegas summers and warm in the winters.

Our previous post explained the difference between pigeon removal and pigeon control which can be read here.  With that understanding, we can move on to determining which of these bird solutions, or combination of solutions you need.

Pigeon control is pest control for pigeons by modifying your property to deny pigeons the ability to nest or roost. This is most effectively done with the use of pigeon deterrents or bird control products such as bird netting, bird spikes, pigeon mesh or screening.

Large, recessed areas are often hospitable areas for pigeons to roost and nest. Many times the birds will seek the shade and/or warmth that roof mounted A/C unit provides in these areas. We have found the application of pigeon netting in these areas to be most effective.

Homeless pigeons around the Las Vegas Valley have finally found their dream homes! For the last several years, more than 15,000 homes have had solar panels installed on their roofs. And while that means great things for Mother Earth, the panels also draw pesky pigeons and their destructive droppings.

Pigeons often build their nests near drains and inside of gutters which can lead to bird poop eating through the roof without proper maintenance. One pigeon can produce up to 25 lbs. of poop a year and will nest inside of their own feces.

For many people around the world, raising and racing pigeons is an enjoyable hobby. The trait that makes this kind of activity possible is a pigeons homing instinct…the ability to fly hundreds of miles from home and still find your way home.
