What Is Pigeon Control?
Pigeon control involves managing unwanted pigeon activity around residential, commercial and multi-unit properties. Pigeons often gather where they can find shelter, food, water and suitable nesting locations.
Professional pigeon management focuses on understanding why birds are attracted to a building and selecting appropriate methods to discourage roosting and nesting.
At Pest Pro Exterminator, we emphasize practical, property-specific solutions that help reduce recurring pigeon problems while considering building conditions, public safety and applicable wildlife requirements.

Common Signs of a Pigeon Problem
Pigeons gathering on rooflines and ledges
Repeated sightings around roof edges, parapets, signs, balconies and exterior beams may indicate an established roosting area.
Nests around balconies and building structures
Pigeons may build nests beneath solar panels, inside sheltered corners, on balconies and around rooftop equipment.
Accumulated bird droppings
Droppings can stain exterior surfaces, create slippery conditions and increase cleaning and maintenance requirements.
Recurring pigeon activity near solar panels
The sheltered space beneath solar panels can attract nesting birds and may lead to accumulated nesting material and debris.
4. Why Are Pigeons a Problem?
Pigeons can create ongoing maintenance and sanitation concerns when they establish regular roosting or nesting areas around buildings.
Property staining and damage
Bird droppings can stain concrete, metal, balconies, signs and other exterior surfaces. Accumulated debris may increase cleaning and maintenance costs.
Health and sanitation concerns
Bird droppings and nesting materials can create sanitation issues. Dried droppings may become airborne during improper cleaning, so suitable precautions are important.
Blocked drains and rooftop debris
Nesting materials can accumulate around roof drains, gutters and mechanical equipment, potentially interfering with drainage or maintenance.
Noise and recurring nesting
Pigeons returning to the same sheltered areas can disturb residents and create repeated cleaning and management problems.

- Inspect rooflines and ledges: Identify sheltered locations where pigeons repeatedly gather.
- Address nesting opportunities: Evaluate gaps and sheltered spaces around rooftop equipment and solar panels.
- Use suitable deterrents: Select bird exclusion products appropriate for the structure and the birds involved.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pigeon Control
How do I get rid of pigeons on my roof in Calgary?
Start by identifying where pigeons perch, roost and nest. Remove accessible food sources and consider appropriate exclusion measures, such as professionally installed bird netting or ledge deterrents.
What is the most effective pigeon deterrent?
The best option depends on the location and building design. Bird spikes can help on suitable ledges, while netting may protect enclosed or sheltered spaces. Correct installation and maintenance are important.
Can pigeons nest under solar panels?
Yes. The sheltered space beneath solar panels can provide nesting opportunities. A compatible solar panel bird barrier can help restrict access while protecting the installation.
Can pigeon droppings damage my property?
Yes. Accumulated droppings can stain surfaces, contribute to maintenance costs and create sanitation concerns. Cleaning should be carried out using appropriate precautions.
Do you provide pigeon control for condominiums and commercial buildings?
Pest Pro Exterminator can assess pigeon problems affecting condominiums, apartment buildings, commercial properties and other structures in its service area.
Will pigeons return after deterrents are installed?
They may return if food sources, access points or suitable roosting areas remain available. Combining appropriate exclusion with property maintenance can help reduce recurring activity.
Is pigeon control humane?
Effective prevention can focus on excluding birds from unwanted areas without unnecessary harm. Methods should be selected and installed with animal welfare and applicable regulations in mind.
