Pigeon Control New York
Pigeons are New York's most persistent bird problem. They roost on ledges, rooftops, air conditioning units, and building ornamentation — fouling everything below with acidic droppings that corrode metal, stone, and roofing materials.
Why Pigeons Are Difficult to Control
Pigeons have strong homing instincts and return to the same roosting sites year after year. Simply chasing them away or removing nests does not work — they come back within days. Effective pigeon control requires physical exclusion that makes the roost site unavailable.
Pigeon Control Methods
Bird Netting
Complete exclusion — prevents pigeons from landing in any treated area. Most permanent solution for rooftops, loading docks, and open structural areas.
Bird Spikes
Stainless steel spikes installed on ledges, I-beams, and flat surfaces. Makes landing impossible without harming birds. Low-profile and long-lasting.
Electric Track System
Low-profile electrified track that delivers a harmless shock conditioning birds to avoid the area. Effective for ornate architecture where spikes are not appropriate.
Audio/Visual Deterrents
Sonic devices, predator decoys, and reflective materials — best used in combination with physical deterrents for reinforcement.
Pigeon Droppings: The Health Risk
Pigeon droppings can harbor histoplasmosis, cryptococcosis, and psittacosis — fungal and bacterial diseases that can cause serious illness when dried droppings become airborne. Large accumulations require professional cleanup with proper PPE before any control systems are installed.
