Pigeon Removal & Control

Pigeons are one of the most common nuisance animals on Cleveland-area buildings. A few birds on a ledge turns into a roosting flock fast, and once they start nesting in vents, gutters, eaves, and under rooftop equipment, they come back to the same spot every day. The droppings pile up, stain siding and sidewalks, clog gutters and drains, and eat away at roofing and finishes over time.

Trappy’s Wildlife Control provides humane pigeon removal and control for homes, businesses, and commercial properties across Greater Cleveland and Northeast Ohio. We remove the birds that are there, clear out the nests, and close up the spots they’re using so the problem doesn’t start right back up.

Signs You Have a Pigeon Problem

• Birds roosting on your roof line, ledges, gutters, signage, or window sills every day
• Droppings building up on walkways, entrances, vehicles, rooftop units, or loading docks
• Nests and nesting debris in attic vents, dryer vents, soffits, eaves, or under solar panels
• Cooing, scratching, or fluttering in vents and roof openings, especially early in the morning
• Clogged gutters and downspouts, or feathers and debris collecting around the building

Where We Remove Pigeons

• Homes — roof lines, chimneys, attic and dryer vents, gutters, porches, and solar panels
• Retail centers and restaurants — storefront signage, awnings, entrances, and outdoor seating areas
• Warehouses and industrial buildings — rafters, loading docks, overhead doors, and roof equipment
• Apartments, condos, and office buildings — balconies, ledges, parking garages, and rooftop units
• Barns, garages, and outbuildings — open eaves, beams, and any structure with an easy way in

Our Pigeon Removal Process

• Inspection. We find where the birds are roosting and nesting, how they’re getting in, and what’s drawing them to the property.
• Humane removal. Pigeons are trapped and removed from the property safely and humanely.
• Nest removal. We clear out nests and nesting material from vents, eaves, gutters, and other openings.
• Sealing entry points. Vents, soffits, gable openings, and gaps get closed up so the birds can’t move back in.
• Prevention recommendations. We’ll tell you what’s attracting the birds and what changes will keep them from coming back.

Why Pigeons Shouldn’t Be Ignored

Pigeon droppings are more than an eyesore. They’re acidic, so they wear down roofing, paint, metal, and stone. Built-up droppings and nesting material carry bacteria and fungal spores, attract mites and other pests, and make walkways and entrances slippery. On a business, they’re one of the first things customers notice when they walk in the door.

Pigeons are also extremely loyal to a site. Shooing them off or putting out a plastic owl rarely works for long. The flock returns to the same roost, and every nesting season adds more birds. The sooner the birds are removed and the openings are sealed, the less cleanup and repair you’re looking at.

Managing a commercial or multi-family property? Pigeon control can be part of our monthly trapping and population control programs, so roofs, docks, and entrances stay clear year-round instead of one call at a time.
