Why Pigeons Are a Problem in Colorado Neighborhoods

In urban and suburban areas throughout the Front Range, pigeons thrive. Their adaptability allows them to nest year-round and exploit human-provided food and shelter. Unfortunately, this means they often nest on rooftops, under solar panels, or near HVAC vents—leading to structural damage and noise issues.

Common nuisance concerns with pigeons include:

  • Permanent residency: Once established, pigeons rarely leave without professional removal

  • Constant noise: Cooing and flapping become daily disruptions, especially near windows and sleeping areas

  • Droppings everywhere: Acidic droppings deface concrete, roofing, and painted surfaces

  • Health risks: Dried droppings can carry bacteria and fungal spores harmful to humans and pets

  • Roof and attic nesting: Clogs vents, damages insulation, and encourages other pests

In addition to being persistent, pigeons reproduce quickly—making early intervention essential. If left unchecked, a small flock can turn into a larger infestation within a single season.

Fast Facts About Pigeon Biology and Behavior

Understanding pigeon behavior helps explain why removal efforts must be strategic and comprehensive. These birds are biologically and behaviorally hardwired to stay close to their nesting areas, even when disturbed.

Important details every homeowner should know:

  • Breeding habits: Pigeons lay 1–2 eggs at a time and breed throughout the year

  • Diet: Seeds, grains, fruits, greens, and even insects—making most environments ideal

  • Preferred nesting spots: Roofs, ledges, solar panel arrays, attic vents, gutters, and chimneys

  • Species info: Pigeons, also called “rock doves,” originated in Asia and are now fully adapted to urban environments

Because they’re territorial and loyal to their nesting site, DIY deterrents often fail without addressing the root cause. That’s why working with an experienced wildlife control provider like APCS is so important.

How APCS Removes Pigeons and Protects Your Home

Removing pigeons requires more than just scaring them away. At Animal & Pest Control Specialist, Inc., we take a multi-step approach that ensures pigeons are not only removed, but also discouraged from returning. Every property we service receives a personalized plan based on the structure, level of infestation, and long-term prevention goals.

Our pigeon removal and control services include:

  • Humane trapping and removal: Safe techniques to remove existing pigeons without harming them

  • Deterrent installation: Bird spikes, netting, optical gels, and other proven deterrents to prevent re-nesting

  • Sanitation and cleanup: Removal of droppings, nesting debris, and residue; disinfecting surfaces to eliminate odor and bacteria

  • Damage repair and exclusion: Sealing access points, repairing roof or vent openings, and applying bird-proof materials

Our team understands the challenges specific to Colorado’s climate and architecture. We’ve worked with homeowners from Castle Rock to Boulder, creating customized bird control solutions for both new and historic properties.

Why Pigeon Removal Saves You Time, Money, and Stress

While a few birds may seem harmless at first, pigeon infestations escalate quickly. The cost of delaying action can far exceed the price of preventative removal. Roof damage, clogged drains, corroded HVAC units, and stained solar panels are just a few of the issues we see routinely in untreated homes.

Here’s how APCS helps protect your investment:

  • Reduces long-term repair costs by preventing droppings from damaging materials

  • Protects your family’s health from bacteria and airborne droppings

  • Restores peace of mind with professional solutions that actually work
