Residential Pigeon Removal for Tempe Roofs and Patios

For pigeon control in Tempe, the sooner you start, the easier the job. Pigeons settle onto rooftops, patio covers and the spaces beneath solar panels and tile, and their droppings can stain and wear down roofing, paint, stucco and concrete. Warm weather and steady food keep flocks active through the year, and a flock that has picked your home as a roost rarely moves on by itself.
As a locally owned and operated, family owned company based in Phoenix, we have served Maricopa County homeowners for over 40 years. Our approach to bird control in Tempe pairs physical deterrents with exclusion work, so pigeons are removed from your property and have no easy way back. We treat solar panels, tile roofs and every other roosting spot, and residential service never requires a contract.

Look for these clues around your roof, yard and patio.

Nests tucked away beneath solar panels, roof tiles or covered alcoves

Droppings collecting on the patio, driveway, walkways and backyard furniture

Droppings around rooftop AC units, swamp coolers and vent openings

Cooing and scuffling noises at dawn from birds roosting overhead

Twigs, feathers and loose nest material lining gutters or scattered across the yard

If any of this sounds familiar, call (602) 944-0099 and we will assess your home or property.

  • Why It Matters

Why Acting Early Helps

Pigeon droppings do more than make a mess. They are acidic enough to wear away roofing, paint, stucco, concrete and car finishes over time. Dried droppings can also carry fungi and bacteria, and when that dust gets stirred up and breathed in, it can affect your health.
Birds nesting on a structure can bring mites, lice and ticks that sometimes find their way indoors. Under solar panels, nest debris can lower panel output and add a fire concern. Unless deterrents and exclusion are put in place, pigeons keep coming back to the same roosts, often generation after generation.

Pigeons, Irrigation and Feeding Rules in Tempe

Water is worth a close look when pigeons are the problem. The City of Tempe provides flood irrigation to 17 city parks and about 850 residential customers, with more than 37 miles of irrigation mains and about 14,500 deliveries a year. Water is delivered starting at 10 p.m. Sunday, can take several days to finish, and stops in November and December for the SRP dry-up. A leak or puddle in between gives birds a place to drink.
Food plays a part as well. The City of Tempe says excessive bird feeding can cause odor and other issues, and if three neighbors sign a petition that the neighborhood is affected, it may be a city code violation. Maricopa County has no code against feeding wild pigeons, yet it strongly discourages poisons or shooting and recommends spikes, netting, wires and trapping. For bird removal in Tempe, we build the plan around deterrents and exclusion.

  • Our Method

How We Handle Pigeons

Step 1
Assessment
We start by walking your property to find roost spots, nests, gaps beneath solar arrays and tile, and how active the birds are.
Step 2
Deterrent Installation
Bird spikes, wire systems and netting go onto the ledges, beams and roof edges where pigeons like to perch, leaving them nowhere to land.
Step 3
Solar Panel Exclusion
A mesh screen around each solar array closes off the space under the panels, taking away the sheltered nook pigeons like to nest in.
Step 4
Nest and Debris Removal
Old nests, eggs and built-up droppings are cleared from the property, and the affected surfaces are cleaned afterward.
Step 5
Follow-Up
We come back to confirm the deterrents are holding, the birds have moved on, and no new nests have started.
  • Know Your Pest

Pigeons You Will See Around Tempe

  • Moderate Risk
The feral pigeon is stocky and gray, 11 to 14 inches long, with glossy green and purple feathers on the neck. Descended from cliff nesters, it treats rooftops, ledges and overhangs as home. It adapts easily and, in Arizona’s warm climate, can breed all year, raising several broods annually.
As neighborhoods have grown, so have feral pigeon flocks across the metro. They gravitate to homes that offer solar panels, tile roofs, easy food such as pet food, birdseed and open trash, and water from pools or irrigation. These birds stick to routine, so a flock that has settled in keeps returning until the spot is physically closed off.

Family owned since 1986. No contracts required.

  • FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you handle pigeon problems in Tempe, AZ?
Yes. We serve homes across Tempe and the rest of Maricopa County with deterrents, exclusion work and cleanup. A technician looks at your roof, patio covers and solar panels, finds where the birds roost and nest, and builds a plan around that. Same-day service is available, and residential service never requires a contract. Call (602) 944-0099, Monday to Saturday, 8 to 5.
Maricopa County has no code making it illegal to feed wild pigeons, but the City of Tempe says excessive bird feeding can cause odor and other issues, and if three neighbors sign a petition that the neighborhood is affected, it may be a city code violation. Feeding also keeps birds returning to your roof, so stopping is the easiest first step.
Pigeons remember a spot that offers shelter, food and water, so they keep returning until the site is blocked off. Pet food, birdseed, open trash and irrigation leaks all add to the pull. The City of Tempe also lists pet food, fallen fruit and rodents drawn to bird feeders as coyote attractants, so tidying up helps on both counts. Exclusion work closes off the roost itself.
In Arizona’s warm climate pigeons can breed all year, so eggs can turn up in any month rather than one season. A pair typically lays two eggs, and they usually hatch in about 18 days. Because broods overlap, clearing nests, eggs and droppings and then blocking the site matters more than timing.
Yes. Pigeons roost on ledges, rooflines, patio covers and under solar panels, usually settling in around dusk and heading out at first light, which is why dawn cooing is a common clue. They favor the same spot night after night and will rebuild at the same nest site, so deterrents need to cover every perch.
