Old Town Cottonwood's historic building ledges and parapets give pigeons sheltered roosting spots that keep them breeding through the year.
Call (844) 924-1337Old Town Cottonwood's early 1900s storefronts, many now serving as tasting rooms and shops for visitors on their way up to Jerome, give pigeons ledges and parapets to roost on, and Arizona's mild winters let that roosting continue through the cold months instead of pausing the way it would in a harsher climate. Because the district depends on steady foot traffic from wine country visitors and day trippers headed to the old mining town, droppings on these historic storefronts and sidewalks aren't just unsightly, they can wear away surfaces that have already stood for more than a hundred years.
The monsoon season, roughly June through September, adds its own surge on top of that baseline, as birds that had only been perching casually shift into active nest building within a few weeks. Physical exclusion set in place before that surge begins tends to outperform cleanup attempted afterward, especially on historic surfaces near Tuzigoot National Monument that are hard to restore once damaged.

Yes, though it usually looks like exclusion and deterrents, netting, spikes, or wire systems, rather than removal, since many bird species are protected. A property assessment can identify suitable deterrent options for the affected ledges and other roosting areas.
Bird control pricing depends on your location, the size and accessibility of the affected area, and the deterrent approach selected. Call PestGuardians to discuss the work needed in Cottonwood and request pricing for your situation.
Installing deterrents on the ledges, roofs, or signage pigeons favor, along with removing accessible food sources, is the general approach. The location of the roosting or nesting activity helps determine which deterrent approach is appropriate.
If pigeons are roosting on a balcony or windowsill, deterrents like spikes or netting can help, though in a rental, it's worth checking with your landlord or property management first since they may need to approve or handle exterior changes.
