Pigeon control and bird proofing in Selma

Pigeons do well in farm country, and Selma is no exception. Fields and ag buildings around town give them plenty to eat, and rooftops in town give them warm, sheltered places to rest. Solar panels have become one of their favorite spots. The gap under a rooftop array is shaded in summer, protected from wind and rain and hidden from hawks and other predators. Once a pair moves in, more tend to follow. Soon there are droppings on the roof and patio, nesting material poking out from under the panels and a steady cooing overhead early every morning.

Good pigeon control does two things. First, we clean up what’s already there. Nests, debris and droppings are removed and bagged, and the affected surfaces are cleaned and sanitized. Then we install deterrents and exclusion measures suited to the spot, such as mesh guards around the edges of solar panels that close off the gap underneath. The approach is humane. The goal is to keep birds out of the places where they’re causing problems, not to harm them, so the fix lasts instead of relying on cleaning up the same mess every few months.

Acting early helps, because pigeons get more attached to a site the longer they stay. Homeowners usually call us about birds under solar panels, along rooflines, in eaves and on patio covers. Selma businesses, warehouses and ag buildings deal with birds on signs, ledges, canopies and rooflines, where droppings end up on walkways customers use. We can clean your solar panels or gutters in the same visit if the birds have left a mess there too. Ducky’s is licensed and insured, open seven days from 5am to 10pm, and every estimate is free.
