Pigeon Feces Cleaning and Removal

Cleaning the poop from the targeted surfaces is an absolute must with every pigeon removal job regardless of if you do the work yourself or hire someone. Poop is nasty. It's bad for your health and it's bad for your home or business.

Cleanup is just a foundational part of any pigeon control program. So, why is it so bad? Glad you asked - here are some very good reasons why pigeon poop is bad for you:

• First off, there's just so dang much of it. Remember: NOTHING poops like a pigeon. It accumulates quickly because they literally defecate constantly - all day long!
• Second, it looks terrible on your home or - most often - right on the front porch. It's embarrassing.
• Add to that the fact that it clogs up any and all roof drainage systems. We have done a ton of work through the years that was referred by various roofing companies. It makes no sense to spend a small fortune fixing a roof leak if you don't fix the cause of the roof leak. And if you have pigeons on your roof, a roof leak is probably inevitable.

Pigeon Feces Causes Many Problems

• Pigeon feces is extremely acidic and will eventually damage just about any surface. That includes the roof, solar panels, ledges, concrete, tiling, bricks, cars and anything else that they poop on.
• They are attracted back to the scent of their mothers feces - for life. Believe it or not, POOP is how pigeons mark their turf and how they make and find home.

Can birds control when they poop?

Yes - for the most part - when they want to. Birds use a lot of energy - especially when flying. So lightening the pay load is a must. Hence the frequent pooping! Pigeons, of course, are the worst. The problem is they actually want a lot of poop where ever they hang out and where they live. So...they poop...a lot!
