Pigeon Removal in Gilbert for Homes and Rooftops

If pigeons have started gathering on your roof or patio, pigeon control in Gilbert is worth sorting out early. These birds favor rooftops, tile roof edges and the shady gap beneath solar panels, and their droppings can stain and eat away at paint, roofing, stucco and concrete. With steady warmth and easy meals around, a flock that picks your home as a roost rarely moves on by itself.
City Wide has been family owned since 1986, and we are a locally owned and operated company based in Phoenix. Our bird control in Gilbert relies on deterrents and exclusion work that make a roost unwelcome, so pigeons move on and stay gone. That covers solar arrays, tile roofs and every ledge where birds like to settle. Residential customers never sign a contract.

  • Why It Matters

Why Pigeon Proofing Matters

Pigeon droppings are acidic, so over time they can etch roofing, wear down paint and stucco, and dull vehicle finishes. Dried droppings can also carry fungal and bacterial germs, including Chlamydia psittaci, Histoplasma and Cryptococcus, that may be inhaled as dust, which is why cleanup should be done carefully.
Nesting birds can bring mites, lice and ticks, and those parasites sometimes work their way indoors. Debris packed beneath solar panels can also cut into output and create a fire concern. Unless deterrents and exclusion are put in place, pigeons tend to come back to the same roost year after year, passing the site along to their young.

Pigeon Problems and Local Rules in Gilbert

Gilbert has its own rules about birds, and they are worth knowing before you act. Sec. 6-7 of the Code of Gilbert makes it unlawful to feed or place food for any wild or feral animal on town-owned property or a public right-of-way. Sec. 6-127 requires registered pigeons to be banded and confined to a loft, and it bars them from perching or lingering on the buildings or property of others. Maricopa County has no code against feeding wild pigeons, though it discourages the habit, and county Environmental Services can respond to bird complaints.
Water matters too. Some Gilbert neighborhoods still receive SRP flood irrigation. The town slopes from east to west, and in heavy rain flood water can collect in areas adjacent to the east side of railroad and canal embankments. Damp ground gives birds an easy drink, so fixing leaks and clearing standing water near your home supports any deterrents we install.

  • Our Method

How Our Pigeon Service Works

Step 1
Assessment
We inspect your property to locate roosts and nests, see how birds are getting under solar panels or tile, and judge how active the flock is.
Step 2
Deterrent Installation
Next we install bird spikes, wire deterrents and netting along ledges, rooflines, patio covers and any other perch, leaving pigeons nowhere to land.
Step 3
Solar Panel Exclusion
Mesh screening goes around solar arrays to close off the space between the panels and the roof, taking away the sheltered nest site pigeons look for.
Step 4
Nest and Debris Removal
Old nests, eggs and built-up droppings are cleared away, and the affected surfaces are cleaned.
Step 5
Follow-Up
Afterward we come back to confirm the deterrents are holding, the pigeons have moved elsewhere, and no new nests have started.
  • Know Your Pest

Pigeons Common in the Gilbert Area

  • Moderate Risk
The common feral pigeon is stocky and gray, 11 to 14 inches long, with glossy green and purple neck feathers. Descended from cliff nesters, it treats rooftops, ledges and overhangs as home turf. Highly adaptable, it breeds year-round in Arizona and can raise several broods a year.
Feral pigeons do well wherever people build, and homes that have solar panels, tile roofs, spilled pet food, birdseed, open trash or pool and irrigation water make an easy fit. They are creatures of habit as well. After a flock claims a roost, it keeps returning to that exact spot until the spot is physically blocked off.

  • FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it illegal to feed pigeons in Gilbert?
On town-owned property or a public right-of-way, yes: Sec. 6-7 of the Code of Gilbert makes it unlawful to feed or place food for any wild or feral animal there. Maricopa County has no code against feeding wild pigeons, though it discourages the practice. Keeping food out of your own yard also helps stop roosts from forming.
Maricopa County Environmental Services can respond to bird complaints, but pigeons roosting on your own roof, patio or solar panels are usually a job for a pest professional. Our team installs deterrents and exclusion, and same-day service is available. Call (602) 944-0099, Monday to Saturday, 8 to 5.
Yes. Sec. 6-127 of the Code of Gilbert requires registered pigeons to be banded and confined to a loft, and bars them from perching on the property of others. Sec. 6-128 also requires droppings of fowl, registered pigeons and rodents kept on a property to be removed at least twice weekly, otherwise stored in flytight containers.
Pigeons are creatures of habit. Once a flock finds a sheltered ledge, roof edge or spot under solar panels with food and water nearby, it returns again and again. Scaring them off rarely lasts, so lasting results come from blocking the roosting spots with deterrents, netting or mesh and removing what attracts them.
Feral pigeons breed year-round in Arizona, so eggs can show up in any month rather than a single season. A pair usually lays two eggs, which hatch after roughly 17 to 19 days. Since pairs can raise several broods a year, clearing nests and eggs early and then blocking the site keeps the cycle from restarting.
Pigeons settle in at dusk and stay through the night on sheltered ledges, rooflines and patio covers, then head out at first light to feed. They often reuse the same nest and roost site season after season, which is why removing nests without blocking access seldom works.
