Pigeon control in Madera, CA

Pigeons love the same things people do in the Valley heat: shade, shelter and an easy place to rest. In Madera that often means the gap beneath a solar array, the corner of an eave, a patio cover, or a ledge on a commercial building. Open farmland all around town gives the birds plenty of food, so once a flock finds a good roost, it tends to stay. The signs are easy to spot, such as cooing at dawn, feathers and nesting material poking out, and droppings piling up below. Left alone, a few birds can turn into dozens, and the clean-up grows right along with them. Acting early keeps the job small.

Droppings do more than look bad. They stain stucco, roof tiles, awnings and walkways, clog gutters, and make a mess of solar glass. We begin by inspecting where the birds are roosting so the plan fits each spot. Next we remove nests and debris, and clean and sanitize the affected surfaces. Then we install deterrents and exclusion measures, like mesh guards around the edges of solar panels, which block access to the places the pigeons were using. The birds are not harmed, they simply have to move on. Afterward, we walk you through what went in and where.

Homeowners with solar call us the most, and we can clean the panels in the same visit. Commercial customers ask about storefront signs, building ledges and rooflines, and warehouses and canopies, where droppings can reach walkways and customers. Eaves, patios and balconies are common trouble spots at houses too. The sooner birds are blocked out, the less cleaning there is later. Every job starts with a free estimate. We are licensed and insured, and our 100% satisfaction guarantee covers the work. Heavily soiled spots may need a bit more time, and we will say so after the inspection.
