Bird control for roofs, solar panels, and storefronts.
Humane exclusion for pigeons and other nuisance birds. Pigeon nests cleared, solar panels screened, ledges and rooflines protected, and practical guidance so the birds don’t settle back in.
Bird control in the West Valley
Pigeons love West Valley rooftops. The shaded gap under a solar array is protected from sun and predators, and the openings at the ends of tile roofs make good nesting spots. Once a pair settles in, droppings and nesting material build up fast, and the same birds come back every morning. Businesses see the same thing on signage, ledges, and loading docks.
Droppings are more than an eyesore. They stain stucco and walkways, collect on patio furniture and vehicles, and can create slip hazards. Nesting material in gutters and under panels holds debris and draws mites and other pests. Scaring birds off for a day doesn’t solve it. Changing the roost so it no longer works does.
That’s the focus of our bird control. Bryce looks at where the birds are nesting and where they’re just perching, because each needs a different fix. Solar panels are screened with mesh that clips to the panel frame, and ledges, signs, and roofline gaps get deterrents or sealing. The approach is humane: the birds are moved along, not harmed, and you get guidance on cleanup.
Which bird it is matters. Rock pigeons (the common city pigeon), European starlings, and house sparrows aren’t native and aren’t protected, so we can clear their nests and nesting material. Most other birds, like mourning doves, house finches, and woodpeckers, are protected by federal law, and so are their active nests. We don’t disturb those nests. For those birds, the work is exclusion and deterrents, put in when no nest is active so they don’t come back to the same spot.
Signs it’s time to call
Birds under solar panels
Pigeons flying in and out from under the array, or debris and feathers collecting at the panel edges.
Droppings piling up
Droppings on walkways, patios, vehicles, or below the same section of roofline every day.
Nests in tile & eaves
Nesting material poking out of tile roof gaps, eaves, gutters, or business signage.
The same flock returning
Birds lined up on the roof ridge or ledges every morning and evening, no matter how often they’re chased off.
How Bryce handles it
Assess the roost
Roofline, solar array, eaves, and signage are checked for nesting versus perching, since each needs a different fix.
Clear
Pigeon, starling, and house sparrow nests are removed from under panels, gutters, and roof gaps. Active nests of protected birds are left alone.
Exclude
Solar panel screening, ledge and roofline deterrents, and sealed gaps so the roost stops working. For protected birds, this goes in when no nest is active.
Follow up
Exclusion is checked after install, with guidance on droppings cleanup and keeping new pressure from building.

Straight answers about bird control
Don’t see your question? Call or text (623) 363-3124 and you’ll get Bryce, not a call center.
Is your bird control humane?
Yes. Our approach is exclusion and deterrents, not harm. When the roost under your panels or along your roofline stops working, the birds move on to somewhere else. Pigeon, starling, and house sparrow nests are cleared and the access points are closed so they don’t settle back in.
Can you remove a dove or finch nest?
No. Mourning doves, house finches, and most other native birds are protected by federal law, and so are their nests with eggs or chicks. We leave those nests alone and put up exclusion and deterrents when no nest is active, so the birds don’t return to that spot. Rock pigeons (the common city pigeon), European starlings, and house sparrows aren’t protected, so their nests can be cleared.
How do you keep pigeons out from under solar panels?
We install mesh screening around the edge of the array. It clips to the panel frame, so there’s no drilling into the panels or roof, and it closes the gap pigeons nest in while still letting air move underneath. Nesting material is cleared out first.
Will spikes or mesh ruin the look of my roofline?
Modern screening and low-profile deterrents are hard to notice from the street, and far less noticeable than droppings and nests. Bryce will show you what he plans to use and where before anything goes up, so there are no surprises.
Are pigeon droppings harmful?
Droppings stain and wear on surfaces, make walkways slippery, and nesting debris can draw mites and other pests. Avoid dry-sweeping large buildups, which stirs up dust. Wet the area first and wear gloves and a mask. For heavy buildup, Bryce can walk you through safe cleanup.
Do you handle bird problems at businesses?
Yes. Storefront signage, building ledges, warehouse rooflines, and HOA common areas see the same pigeon pressure as homes. We can assess the site, install deterrents and exclusion, and work around your hours. See our commercial pest control page for recurring service.
