Pigeons on your roof. Grackles in your trees. Bird droppings covering your patio, car, and solar panels. Arizona's bird problems are real, and they don't go away on their own.
Our technicians handle bird control across the Phoenix metro area, from Fountain Hills to Buckeye. We use exclusion, deterrents, and removal to solve bird problems permanently. Pigeons nesting under solar panels. Sparrows in commercial signage. Woodpeckers attacking stucco. We've seen it all.
Bird control isn't just about convenience. Bird droppings carry diseases, damage property, and create liability issues. If birds have taken over part of your property, we can help you take it back.

Problem Bird Species in Arizona
Several bird species cause problems for Arizona property owners.
Pigeons are the most common nuisance bird in the Phoenix area. They roost on roofs, ledges, signs, and under solar panels. Pigeons don't migrate. They nest and breed year-round. A single pair can produce a dozen offspring per year, and those offspring stay nearby. Pigeon populations grow quickly without intervention.
Grackles form massive flocks that roost in trees, parking lots, and commercial areas. Their droppings accumulate rapidly beneath roosting sites. Grackle noise during evening gatherings can be overwhelming. They're especially problematic in shopping centers and along commercial corridors.
House sparrows nest in building cavities, signage, and warehouse structures. They're aggressive nesters that return to the same spots year after year. Sparrow nests clog vents, damage equipment, and create fire hazards.
European starlings are invasive birds that compete with native species. They form large flocks and roost in trees and on structures. Starling droppings are acidic and damage vehicle paint, building surfaces, and equipment.
Woodpeckers in Arizona often attack stucco homes. They drill holes looking for insects or creating nesting cavities. The Gila woodpecker and Northern flicker are the usual culprits. Woodpecker damage is surprisingly expensive to repair.
Why Bird Problems Are Serious
Birds aren't just messy. They create genuine health, safety, and property concerns.
The CDC identifies histoplasmosis as a lung infection caused by breathing in fungal spores found in bird droppings. Cryptococcosis and psittacosis are also transmitted through bird waste. People with weakened immune systems are at highest risk.
Property damage. Bird droppings are acidic. They etch paint, corrode metal, stain concrete, and damage building materials. Accumulated droppings on roofs can shorten the life of roofing materials. Solar panels lose efficiency when covered in droppings.
Slip and fall hazards. Wet bird droppings on walkways, stairs, and entrances create slippery surfaces. Property owners face liability when customers or visitors slip on droppings.
Fire hazards. Bird nests in vents, signage, and electrical equipment create fire risks. Nesting material is dry and flammable.
Secondary pest infestations. Bird nests harbor mites, lice, and other parasites. When birds leave or die, these parasites seek new hosts and often enter buildings.
Our Bird Control Services
We use multiple methods to solve bird problems because no single approach works for every situation.
Exclusion netting. Heavy-duty netting prevents birds from accessing roosting and nesting areas. We install netting under eaves, in loading docks, parking structures, and anywhere birds congregate. The netting creates a physical barrier birds cannot penetrate. Properly installed netting is nearly invisible and lasts for years.
Bird spikes. Stainless steel or plastic spikes prevent birds from landing on ledges, signs, and rooflines. Spikes don't harm birds. They simply make surfaces uncomfortable for roosting. Best for narrow ledges, signage, window sills, and AC units.
Solar panel bird guards. Pigeons love nesting under solar panels. The gap between panels and roof provides shelter, shade, and protection from predators. Bird guards seal this gap and prevent access. We also remove existing nests and droppings before installation.
Trapping and removal. For established pigeon populations, trapping reduces numbers quickly. We set and monitor traps, removing captured birds regularly. Once population pressure decreases, exclusion prevents reestablishment.
Bird Control Process
HOW WE WORK
1
Site Assessment
We inspect your property to identify bird species, roosting locations, entry points, and the extent of the problem. Different birds require different approaches. Pigeons, sparrows, and woodpeckers each need specific solutions.
2
Cleanup and Sanitation
Before installing deterrents, we remove existing nests and clean accumulated droppings. Bird waste carries disease risks and must be handled with proper safety precautions. Clean surfaces also help exclusion devices adhere properly.
3
Exclusion Installation
We install the appropriate combination of netting, spikes, solar panel guards, or other deterrents for your situation. Each device is positioned to block access to roosting and nesting areas while remaining as unobtrusive as possible.
4
Follow-up and Maintenance
We verify the exclusion is working and birds aren't finding alternate entry points. For commercial properties, we offer maintenance contracts to inspect and repair exclusion devices. Early detection of damage prevents bird reestablishment.

Solar Panel Protection
Solar panels are one of the most common bird problems we see. Pigeons discovered that the space under panels is perfect habitat. Warm in winter, shaded in summer, and protected from predators.
Once pigeons nest under your panels, problems multiply. Droppings accumulate on your roof. Wiring gets damaged. Panel efficiency drops as droppings cover the surface. Noise from cooing birds travels into the house.
Our solar panel bird guards solve this problem permanently. We remove existing nests and debris, clean droppings from panels and roof surface, install mesh guards around the entire panel perimeter, and seal gaps between panels.
The result is clean panels, protected wiring, and no more pigeon problems.
Commercial Bird Control
Birds cause major problems for commercial properties. Shopping centers, warehouses, restaurants, and office buildings all deal with bird issues.
Retail and restaurant properties face customer complaints and health inspection concerns. Bird droppings on walkways and outdoor dining areas drive customers away.
Warehouses and distribution centers have open loading docks that attract birds. Sparrows and pigeons nest in rafters and contaminate products.
Office buildings deal with birds roosting on ledges, signage, and rooftop equipment. Droppings damage building exteriors and create poor first impressions.
We design commercial bird control programs based on your specific situation. We work around business hours, provide documentation for property managers, and offer ongoing maintenance contracts.
Preventing Bird Problems
Once we've solved your bird problem, these practices help prevent recurrence:
Don't feed birds. This sounds obvious, but many people feed birds intentionally or unintentionally. Outdoor pet food, accessible garbage, and bird feeders all attract nuisance birds.
Maintain exclusion devices. Check netting, spikes, and solar panel guards periodically. Damage or gaps allow birds to return.
Address water sources. Birds need water daily. Fountains, pools, and irrigation leaks attract birds to your property.
Act early. A few pigeons become many pigeons quickly. Address bird activity before populations establish and before significant droppings accumulate.
Our general pest control service can include periodic inspections of bird exclusion devices to catch damage before birds return.
Don't just take our word for it
Cost depends on the species, extent of the problem, and methods required. A simple spike installation on a few ledges costs less than netting an entire loading dock. We provide site assessments and detailed quotes before any work begins.
Pigeons, starlings, and house sparrows are not protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and can be controlled without permits. Native species like woodpeckers have legal protections. We follow all applicable regulations and can advise on what's permitted for your situation.
Quality exclusion devices last for years. Stainless steel spikes and properly installed netting can last 10 years or more with minimal maintenance. Deterrent devices may need periodic adjustment or replacement.
Sometimes. That's why we develop comprehensive plans that address all attractive areas, not just the immediate problem spot. Exclusion in one area combined with deterrents elsewhere discourages birds from simply relocating.
Yes. We offer sanitation services to remove accumulated droppings before installing exclusion devices. For large accumulations, proper cleanup requires safety equipment because of disease risks associated with dried droppings.
