Pigeons carry 60+ transmittable diseases, generate acidic droppings that corrode metal and concrete, and create slip hazards and OSHA issues at every commercial property they roost on.
Netting, spikes, shock track, and screening — installed to keep pigeons off your property for good. Backed by a lifetime warranty on netting work.
Pigeons are the single most destructive pest bird for commercial properties. They roost in flocks of 20–200+, return to the same nesting sites year after year, and generate enough acidic dropping volume to damage roofing membranes, corrode HVAC equipment, and contaminate inventory at warehouses, retail centers, and food facilities. Rid-A-Bird has been providing commercial pigeon control across the western United States for 35+ years, with permanent exclusion systems engineered for industrial-scale pressure — not the spray-and-pray pest service that comes back every quarter.
A single pigeon produces about 25 pounds of droppings per year. Multiply that across a roosting flock and you're looking at quarter-ton annual loads on rooftops, ledges, and warehouse rafters — droppings that are acidic enough to eat through galvanized metal, foul solar arrays, and trigger histoplasmosis and salmonella exposure concerns for OSHA, FDA, and USDA inspectors. The real cost isn't the cleanup invoice — it's roofing replacement years earlier than scheduled, contaminated product writedowns, and the slow erosion of customer trust at retail and hospitality properties where droppings make sidewalks unsafe.
Commercial pigeon roosts cluster around specific architecture: rooftop HVAC equipment, parapet ledges and beam undersides, warehouse rafters and high-bay light fixtures, loading dock canopies, signage and sign letters, solar panel undersides, building setbacks and recessed entry alcoves, and louvered vents and damaged screening. Every site is different — our assessment identifies all active roost points before we propose an exclusion plan, so the pigeons don't simply relocate 30 feet over.
We don't push a single product. After assessing your specific roosting pressure, building architecture, and operational constraints, we recommend the combination of exclusion and deterrent methods that delivers the longest-term result.
The gold standard for high-pressure pigeon roosting under loading docks, atriums, and warehouse interiors. Zippered access panels for lights and equipment.
For ledges, parapets, signage, and beam tops where pigeons land. Commercial-grade and weather-resistant.
Low-voltage architectural-grade track for high-visibility ledges. Humane and effective for long-term pigeon deterrence.
Pigeons love nesting under rooftop solar. We seal the perimeter with stainless mesh while preserving panel airflow.
Roof vents, soffit gaps, dryer outlets, and louvers — sealed against pigeon nesting and re-entry.
OSHA-compliant pressure washing, disinfection, and disposal of pigeon droppings and nesting material before exclusion install.
Pigeon pressure shows up differently at each commercial property type — and the right exclusion approach changes accordingly. Common projects:
