Pigeons

Common in both cities and suburban communities, pigeons roost on window ledges, rooftops, and bridges, which are perfect substitutes for the natural cliff ledges the birds typically use as nesting sites and shelter.  Pigeons are indiscriminate feeders and eat any available food source, from grains and seeds to human waste and handouts.  Feeding the pests actually raises pigeon populations to larger than sustainable numbers.

To keep pigeon droppings off of private properties, individuals should use habitat modification and exclusion tools to reduce the possibility of attracting the pests.  Frightening devices, bird spikes, and bird netting can all be employed to varying degrees of success.  However, the most effective way to limit the presence of both pigeons and pigeon droppings is to call the wildlife experts at Critter Control.
