Why You Should Never Ignore a Pigeon Problem

The Hidden Danger on Your Roof

Birds may be a sign of nature, freedom, and beauty—but when pigeons take over your commercial building, they bring more harm than good. At Montana Pest Solutions, we recently responded to a call from a commercial client who thought they had a small pigeon issue. When our team arrived, the reality was far worse. One whole corner of the building was caked in bird droppings. The damage wasn’t just unsightly—it was toxic.



Why Bird Droppings Are More Than Just a Mess

Pigeon droppings aren’t just gross—they’re dangerous. Over time, dried droppings release dust that can be inhaled by anyone nearby, including your employees and customers. This dust can carry harmful pathogens, leading to respiratory infections like histoplasmosis and cryptococcosis.

That’s why our crew came prepared: hazmat suits, gloves, masks—the works. We weren’t just cleaning up a mess. We were dealing with a biohazard.


The Cost of Waiting Too Long

Too often, businesses wait until the problem becomes overwhelming. What starts with a few birds roosting on ledges or rooftops can quickly escalate into:

  • Structural damage from bird waste

  • Blocked drains and gutters

  • Nesting in vents or HVAC systems

  • Ongoing health risks to staff and visitors

Not only does it hurt your building, it damages your brand image. Nobody wants to walk under a roof that’s raining pigeon poop.


The Smart Move: Early Pigeon Control

The good news? You can stop all this before it starts.

With professional pigeon control services in Montana, our team can humanely relocate birds, seal off nesting spots, and install preventative measures like bird spikes or netting.

We also provide comprehensive bird droppings cleanup for commercial properties, ensuring your space is safe, sanitary, and compliant with health standards.


Real Results, Real Fast



In the case of our recent client, we got the situation under control quickly. The site was cleared, disinfected, and protected from future nesting. Now, the client can focus on business—without worrying about pigeons overhead.


Don’t Let Pigeons Take Over

  • Pigeons gathering on your roof
