About us

Pigeons Be Gone specializes in Exclusion screens, Bird spikes, Bird Netting (Stealthnet), Humane trapping, Pigeon waste cleaning and disinfecting. Exclusion screening: When eliminating pigeon nesting within eaves & under A/C units, we have found the screening to be most effective. We begin by removing all nests and debris, thoroughly clean & disinfect the area, then apply the screening material. Our heavy duty, 14 gauge, galvanized steel screen prevents pigeons from re-nesting once permanently affixed to the home. We offer a lifetime guarantee, ensuring the pigeons will never re-nest in the treated area(s). Bird spikes: Virtually invisible, bird spikes prevent pigeons from nesting & roosting on ledges, window sills, roof peaks, etc. Manufactured of a UV resistant polycarbonate plastic, bird spikes provide up to 5 years of bird free surfaces. This product is humane, aesthetically pleasing, & most of all affordable. Bird Netting: StealthNet provides the most permanent, low visibility solution for pigeons that are nesting around and/or under air conditioning units. StealthNet is the most versatile bird exclusion product offered as it can be customized to fit any size area and is easily accessible to service people. Made of UV resistant polyethylene twine, the net will last for 5 years when properly maintained. Trapping: When a property becomes inundated with a flock of pigeons (6-8 or more), a trapping program must be initiated to eliminate the birds residing at the subject property. Many times, this is the first step in effective pigeon control. Typically, trapping program spans approximately 30 days, utilizing two phases: baiting & trapping. Our custom made traps allow us the most safe & effective method of bird elimination available to the consumer. The trapping approach eliminates the need for poisons which can be harmful to both humans & their pets. Pigeon waste cleaning: Pigeons nest in their own feces. As a result, the majority of nesting & roosting areas contain dangerous fungi and bacteria that are potentially harmful to humans. To eliminate accumulation of droppings the site is first brush cleaned to eliminate the bulk of the droppings. The area is then pressure washed & special enzymatic disinfectants are applied, breaking down the remainder of the droppings. These products are non-toxic, environmentally safe, non-flammable & biodegradable.

It went great. I was extremely pleased with everything that Pigeons Be Gone did. Mike is a great communicator. Throughout the process, he kept me informed of what was happening and what was going to happen. He is punctual and professional. He is thoroughly knowledgeable about pigeons and keeping them from making a home on your roof. It's been eight months since I paid him to remove the pigeons from my roof, and they haven't returned. What more can I ask for! The attached photos show the before, during, and after of the process.

Great. Redid the prongs but also helped us fix our pool so that pigeons wouldn't be able to drink the water.
Response from Pigeons Be Gone
"Thank you for your positive review. It sounds like removing the water source has really helped your pigeon problem. Great news. Please let us know if we can help you in the future."

At first it went well. Now it is spring and I hear pigeons again. His price was good because he told me I may not need wires put on the roof, just wrapping up and blocking the nesting areas. I am not able to get on the roof to see what was done, so I didn't answer Quality question with an A. I plan on having him return to put up the wires.

On October 2, 2017, I hired Pigeons Be Gone to eliminate a serious pigeon infestation on the roof of my house. Mike, the owner of Pigeons Be Gone, strongly believes that the only way to eliminate pigeons from a roof is to trap them and take them away. Other forms of pigeon elimination (roof spikes, chimney screening, feces removal) are vital (I tried them), but I can confirm that you will never totally eliminate a pigeon problem without trapping them and taking them away. My experience with Pigeons Be Gone was truly five-star. After I called to say I wanted to hire his company, Mike came to my home within an hour or two and set up a cage that, at first, he just filled with seeds to lead the pigeons to believe it was a great place to go into for free food. After a week of feeding every pigeon in the neighborhood, he set the trap. Now we were capturing pigeons. Throughout the process, Mike kept me fully informed. Every time he came to empty the trap (which was typically every other day), I received an email that night telling me how many pigeons he had trapped that day. Even more important to me was that he told me in advance what to expect during the process. For example, after he finally removed the trap from my roof (and be advised, this can take as long as a month) and had removed the 191st pigeon, he warned me not to panic when I saw another pigeon on the roof. After all, he said, they had come to my roof to eat free food. Sure enough we saw pigeons at times on the roof for a few days, but after those two or three days I haven’t seen a pigeon on my roof since. Mike at Pigeons Be Gone is a true expert on how pigeons think, how they behave, and how to remove them. If you have a pigeon problem, don’t waste your money just deterring the pigeons with spikes and screens (although this is an important step in the process). Just make sure you include pigeon trapping and removal.

He came same day, finished the job in a couple of hours, and explained everything to me before he left. He was very efficient, and super friendly. The price was a little high, but its quality work. You get what you pay for. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family.

All went extremely well.  Michael installed preventative screening on my roof eight years ago. All was good these past eight years until last year when I had  the exterior of my house painted.  The painters removed the screening and did not put the screening back properly.  I didn't notice this until last week when one of them was almost falling off.  When I put a call in to Michael he came that same day, within an hour.  He spent a lot of time fixing the screening.  I was very pleased.  I would recommend this company to anyone having a pigeon problem.  He stands behind his work and helps his customers, even eight years later. Thank you Michael.
Response from Pigeons Be Gone
"It was nice to see you again. I'm glad you caught that the painters removed the screening and didn't reinstall them properly before the pigeons found it again. Please let me know if you need anything else in the future."

Mike also put in screening inside and outside of our chimney.
He was excellent 14 years ago, and I requested additional work. Within one day, the pigeons were gone again - totally. 
Response from Pigeons Be Gone
"It's not often that we receive a review from a job we did 14 years ago so this review is extremely special to us. Thank you for trusting in our services and products to be a repeat customer. We love seeing work that reminds us of when we first started the business in 1998. Thanks for being such a great customer."

I had called in the morning and spoke with Mike. He was over within the hour and took care of everything the same day!



Talking with Mike over the phone I could tell that he was very confident. He knows that he provides quality service. He was able to provide a quote over the phone... after I explained where the pigeons were hanging out, the description of our home and he looking at our home on google or yahoo maps.



He is professional, friendly and polite.



He cleaned up after himself.



He did a great job! I highly recommend giving them a call. You will be glad that you did.  



****EVERY weekend (for the past year or so) my husband and I would complain about how disgusting the pigeons were and that we really needed to get rid of them....I wish I would have called sooner!!!!! What a relief.



I paid with a personal check. I am not sure if they take credit cards.

Did as asked and have not had pigeons return.  Arrived either same day or next after our initial call.  Did seem expensive.
Response from Pigeons Be Gone
"Thank you for your review. One of the reasons that our price may seem a little higher than some other companies is because we are the only company to give a lifetime guarantee that the pigeons won't nest inside of the areas that we screen. Rest assured if you have another pigeon problem or a problem with our work you can just call and we will take care of it at no extra charge. Thanks again for your positive review."

They were good. The price was pretty reasonable. He seemed like an honest guy. He was on time. He did a good job. He did the work and was done. The stuff he put up has been very effective and we won't need to use him again unless one of the spikes break.
Response from Pigeons Be Gone
"We are so glad to hear that the pigeons are still gone after three years. I don't expect that you will have any future problems, but please let us know if you have any issues with the pigeons or the bird spikes. Thank you for leaving such a wonderful review."

He did an amazing job. He explained to us why we were having such a problem with the pigeons and was able to solve it. They will not be able to ruin our unit with this netting now in. He called about a week after the job to follow up and make sure everything was okay. He also volunteered to speak with our Homeowners Association to speak about what people need to do to prevent problems with pigeons.
Response from Pigeons Be Gone
"Thank you for your business. I truly appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. Please let me know if you still need help with the neighbor that is feeding their dogs outside and attracting pigeons to your home. I'm more than happy to speak to the Hoa on your behalf and explaining the problems that pigeons can cause to your roof and air conditioning unit."
