Home/Pigeon Proofing/Droppings Cleanup

Serving Hesperia and the High Desert

Pigeon Droppings and Nest Cleanup

Nests out, droppings off, the area sanitized so the smell leaves with them. Included in every pigeon proofing job.

The droppings are what people notice first, on the tile, down the wall, on the driveway. The smell is what they notice second, and nobody warns them about it. A year of nesting under a solar array gives off a sharp ammonia smell that comes through the attic vents on a hot afternoon. The cleanout takes care of both.

Pigeon proofing $450+

$450 covers up to 12 panels on a single story home. A two story home adds $125. Each panel over 12 is +$50 for the mesh, labor and cleaning that panel. Rigid, rust resistant steel mesh, never chicken wire, held by clips that grip the lip of the panel frame. Nothing is drilled or screwed into your panels, so the manufacturer warranty stays intact. 2 to 3 spinners free, plus a solar wash and cleanup of the droppings under and around the panels.
How many stories is the home? A two story home adds $125 for the extra access and labor.

Pick one so the price is right. A two story home adds $125.

What you get. Birds out from under the panels, nests and droppings hauled away and the area sanitized so the smell goes too, panels washed, mesh clipped to the frame so nothing voids your panel warranty, and a lifetime workmanship warranty on the install, in writing.

Warranty terms. Lifetime workmanship warranty for the original customer. It does not transfer if the property is sold. If mesh or clips fail because of how we installed them, we repair or replace the affected mesh and clips at no charge. It does not cover storm damage or birds getting in through areas that were not originally protected, and removal or changes by anyone else void it for the whole installation. It is a warranty on the work, not a promise that birds never come back. The same terms are written in your quote PDF.

Why now. Nests only get bigger. The longer the birds stay, the more there is to clean out, and the more droppings sit on the roof and the wiring.

    How to tell it's time
    • Windows. Spots when the sun hits the glass, screens that look gray, or more than 6 months since the last clean.
    • Solar panels. No wash in the last 6 months, or a sunny day in your solar app reading lower than it used to.
    • Pigeons. Birds on the roof, droppings on the tile or driveway, cooing under the panels, or a sharp ammonia smell in the heat. They don't leave on their own.
    • Screens. Tears, holes, mesh that bows out of the frame or crumbles when you press it.

    What spinners cover, and what they don't

    They do
    • Flash sunlight and keep moving in the wind. Pigeons stay away from light and motion they can't predict.
    • Keep birds off the open roof, the ridge and the eaves, where they land and walk.
    • Cover the side of the roof they face. The flash travels in a straight line.
    • Mount on your roof vents with stainless hose clamps. No drilling into the roof.
    They don't
    • Clear a nest that's already under your panels. The cleanout and the mesh do that.
    • See over the ridge. One spinner on the front leaves the back side open, and the pigeons just move there.
    • Replace the mesh. Mesh is the guarantee, spinners are the deterrent.
    The cleanout

    What comes out and how

    Every panel edge is opened up and the nesting material comes out: sticks, feathers, eggs, dead birds when there are any, and the packed droppings underneath. It goes into bags on the roof and off the roof, not swept onto the yard. Then the roof deck, the tile and the panel undersides get scraped and washed.

    We wear respirators for this and so should anyone doing it. Dried droppings go airborne when disturbed, and that dust is the part that is actually bad for you.

    What gets treated

    Three places the mess ends up

    Under the panels

    The nests themselves and a layer of droppings on the roof deck that nobody can see from the ground. This is where the smell lives.

    Tile and stucco

    Droppings are acidic. Fresh ones wash off. A year old on concrete tile, some of the discoloration has gone into the surface, and we tell you what will not come back.

    Driveway and patio

    The white streaks under the eaves. Droppings on concrete and pavers come off with a pressure wash, quoted with the job.

    Sanitizing

    Why washing is not enough

    Washing moves the visible mess. Sanitizing kills what is left in the cracks of the tile and the grain of the roof deck, which is where the smell keeps coming from after a plain rinse. We treat the nesting area and the runoff path, then rinse. On a hot day the difference is obvious within a week.

    Cleaning up the droppings and sanitizing the affected areas under and around the panels is included with pigeon proofing. A whole roof soft wash is from $599, with the final price quoted for your roof.

    Then keep them out

    A cleanout without proofing is temporary

    Pigeons come back to a roost, and the ones that hatched under your panels think of your roof as home. Cleaning without closing the array off buys a few weeks. That is why we do not sell the cleanout on its own: it is part of pigeon proofing, with rigid mesh clipped to the panel frame and 2 to 3 free spinners so they do not settle again.

    $450 covers up to 12 panels, $50 a panel after that, cleanout, mesh, spinners, panel wash and cleanup of the droppings under and around the panels included. Set your count above to see your price.

    The mess gone, the smell with it

    FAQ

    Droppings cleanup questions

    Do you clean up the droppings or just install mesh?

    Both, always. The nests, droppings and debris come out from under every panel and get hauled off, the area is sanitized, then the mesh goes on. Mesh over a dirty roof seals the smell in.

    Will the smell go away?

    Yes, once the nesting material is out and the area is sanitized. Washing alone leaves it in the tile and the roof deck. If a smell lingers after a hot week, call and we come back.

    Will the stains on my tile come off?

    Fresh droppings come off completely. Droppings that have sat on concrete tile for a year or more have etched into the surface a little, and some shadow can remain. We tell you before we start what to expect.

    Is pigeon droppings dust dangerous?

    Disturbed dry droppings can carry things you do not want to breathe, which is why we wear respirators for the cleanout and bag everything on the roof instead of sweeping it off. You do not need to be home for it and you do not want to be under it.

    Can I just have the cleanout without the mesh?

    We do not offer it on its own, because the birds come back within weeks and you pay twice. The cleanout is part of pigeon proofing, which closes the array off and keeps them away.
