Pigeon Pest Control Services
Pigeons may seem harmless, but they can cause significant damage to buildings, spread diseases, and create unsanitary conditions. In urban and suburban areas across Canada, pigeons often nest on rooftops, balconies, ledges, and warehouses, leading to costly repairs and health hazards.
At IPM Pest Solutions, we specialize in humane, effective, and long-lasting pigeon control solutions. This guide covers everything you need to know about pigeon behavior, risks, prevention, and professional removal methods.
Why Pigeon Control is Necessary
Pigeons are more than just a nuisance—they pose serious problems, including:
1. Property Damage
Clogged gutters & drains (from nests and droppings)
Corroded surfaces (pigeon droppings are highly acidic)
Damaged roofs & HVAC systems (nesting materials block vents)
2. Health Risks
Pigeons carry diseases such as:
Histoplasmosis (fungal infection from droppings)
Cryptococcosis (respiratory illness)
Salmonella (contamination of food areas)
Mites & ticks (secondary infestations)
3. Unsanitary Conditions
Pigeon droppings:
Slippery & hazardous on walkways
Attract insects & rodents
Create foul odors
If pigeons are roosting on your property, professional control is essential to prevent long-term damage.
Signs You Have a Pigeon Problem
How do you know if pigeons are becoming a pest? Watch for these signs:
Large flocks roosting on roofs, ledges, or balconies
Nesting materials (twigs, feathers, debris) in gutters or vents
Excessive droppings on walls, sidewalks, or cars
Constant cooing & flapping noises near your property
If you notice these issues, it’s time to take action before the infestation worsens.
