Residential Pigeon Services for Mesa Homes and Rooftops

If you need pigeon control in Mesa, you are dealing with a bird that is tough to shake. Pigeons gather on roofs, tuck into the space beneath solar panels and tile, and leave droppings that can stain and wear down roofing, stucco, paint and concrete. Mild weather and steady food keep them around all year, and a flock that adopts your home as a roost rarely leaves without help.
City Wide is a family owned company, locally owned and operated since 1986 and based in Phoenix. Our bird control in Mesa pairs deterrents with exclusion work, so pigeons lose their perches and have no way back in. That includes solar panel proofing, tile roof protection and treatment of every other spot they favor. Residential customers never sign a contract.

  • Why It Matters

Why Prompt Pigeon Care Helps

Pigeon droppings are acidic, so over time they can etch roofing, paint, stucco, concrete and car finishes. Dried droppings can also carry the fungi Histoplasma and Cryptococcus and the bacterium Chlamydia psittaci, which is a concern once the dust is stirred into the air.
Roosting pigeons can bring lice, bird mites and ticks, and these pests sometimes wander indoors after birds settle on a building. Nesting beneath solar panels is a special concern in Mesa, because debris can cut panel output and create a fire hazard. Without deterrents and exclusion, pigeons tend to come back to the same spots, season after season.

Pigeons and Homes in Mesa

Mesa has an estimated 517,142 residents and 223,662 housing units, per the 2024 American Community Survey. About 56 percent are single-family detached homes, and about 19 percent (42,045 units) are in buildings with 5 or more units. Pigeon trouble looks different in each setting, from tile roofs and solar arrays at houses in Las Sendas or Dobson Ranch to shared rooflines at apartment communities.
Mesa City Code Title 8-6-3 (AB) makes it a violation to feed pigeons and doves on private or public property, with an exemption only for feeders designed to keep them out. The ban joined the nuisance code in 2019 after residents complained about excessive bird droppings tied to feeding. Title 8-6-3 (C) also requires property free of weeds and grass taller than 9 inches, with dead vegetation removed. The city’s flood irrigation reaches about 300 customers between Mesa Dr. and Country Club and 8th St. and 8th Ave., while SRP or Roosevelt Water Conservation District serve irrigated properties elsewhere, so fixing leaks is worthwhile anywhere.

  • Our Method

How We Handle Pigeons

Step 1
Assessment
First we inspect the property to locate perches, nests and gaps beneath panels or tiles, and to gauge how much pigeon activity there is.
Step 2
Deterrent Installation
We install bird spikes, tensioned wire and netting along rooflines, ledges, patio covers and similar surfaces, so pigeons have nowhere comfortable to land.
Step 3
Solar Panel Exclusion
We wrap solar arrays in mesh screening, closing off the sheltered cavity under the panels that pigeons love to nest in.
Step 4
Nest and Debris Removal
We clear out old nests, eggs and built-up droppings, then clean the surfaces they soiled.
Step 5
Follow-Up
A follow-up visit confirms the deterrents are holding, the birds have moved on and no fresh nests are going up.

The Pigeons We See Around Mesa

  • Moderate Risk
The feral pigeon is gray with a glossy green and purple sheen on the neck, measures 11 to 14 inches and has a stocky build. Descended from cliff dwellers, it treats rooftops, ledges and overhangs as home turf. It breeds all year in Arizona’s warm weather and raises several broods annually.
Feral pigeon numbers around Mesa and the rest of the Valley have grown alongside development. They do well around homes that offer solar panels, tile roofs, pet food, birdseed, open trash and water from pools or irrigation. Pigeons are creatures of habit: once a roost is set, they come back to the same site again and again unless it is physically blocked.

  • FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it legal to feed pigeons in Mesa?
No. Mesa City Code Title 8-6-3 (AB) makes it a violation to feed pigeons and doves on private or public property. The only exemption is for feeders designed to keep pigeons and doves out. The city added the rule to its nuisance code in 2019 after residents complained about excessive bird droppings tied to feeding. Skipping the birdseed also helps keep a roost from forming at your own home.
Yes, the approach follows the building. Mesa has about 56 percent single-family detached homes and about 19 percent of units (42,045) in buildings with 5 or more units. A house may need solar panel mesh and tile roof protection, while a larger building may need spikes on ledges and netting over patio covers. Our bird removal in Mesa starts with an inspection so the plan fits.
Mesa City Code Title 8-6-3 (C) requires property to be kept free of weeds and grass taller than 9 inches and dead vegetation removed. It is a general upkeep rule rather than a pigeon rule, but tidy yards leave fewer sheltered spots. If birds already roost on your roof, upkeep alone will not move them, and exclusion work is the dependable fix.
Pigeons remember good spots. Once a ledge, roofline or solar array offers shelter with food and water nearby, they return again and again, and later generations use the same site. Removing the birds is not enough on its own. Cleaning droppings, taking away food sources and installing exclusion so they cannot land or nest is what ends the pattern.
In Arizona’s warm climate pigeons can breed year-round, so there is no single egg season. A pair usually lays two eggs, which hatch in about 17 to 19 days. Pairs often return to the same nest site, too. Because new broods can follow quickly, we remove nests and eggs during treatment and close off the nesting spots.
Yes. Pigeons roost on sheltered, elevated spots such as rooflines, ledges, patio covers and the space under solar panels. They settle in at dusk and stay through the night, which is why you often hear cooing at first light. Their nests are loose piles of twigs, so debris tends to fall into gutters and onto patios.
