Pigeon control and bird proofing in Visalia

Pigeons have it easy around Visalia. Grain, feed and spilled crops on the farms and dairies across Tulare County keep them fed, and rooftops in town give them warm, sheltered places to rest. Their favorite spot lately is under solar panels. The gap beneath an array is shaded in summer, dry in winter and hidden from predators. Once one pair moves in, others tend to follow, and the droppings, feathers and nesting material pile up fast.

Our approach has two parts: clean up what’s there, then make the spot unattractive so the birds move on. We remove nests, debris and droppings, bag them up, and clean and sanitize the affected surfaces. Then we install deterrents and exclusion suited to the location, like mesh guards around the edges of solar panels that close off the space underneath. It’s humane prevention. The goal is to keep birds out of problem areas without harming them, so you aren’t dealing with the same clean-up again and again.

Pigeons cause trouble beyond solar, too. They line up on tile rooflines and eaves, stain stucco and patios below their perches, and pack gutters with feathers and nesting debris. Older downtown buildings, storefront signs, restaurant canopies and warehouses get their share. Acting early makes the job easier, because birds get more attached to a site the longer they stay. If droppings have dirtied your panels, we can clean them in the same visit, and we can clear and flush clogged gutters as well.
