Pigeon and bird control for Oakland's historic downtown buildings, from the Tribune Tower to City Hall's ornate ledges and cornices.
Call (844) 924-1337Pigeons gravitate toward exactly what Oakland's older downtown architecture provides: ledges, cornices, and covered rooftop nooks built for roosting long before anyone worried about birds. The droppings that build up on that ornate stone and metalwork are acidic enough to do real, costly damage to the historic buildings the city is trying to keep intact.
That's why Oakland's pigeon problem clusters tightly around downtown and the older commercial blocks instead of spreading evenly citywide. It tracks building age and architectural detail, not any farming or grain related driver the way it might elsewhere. Getting exclusion hardware onto ledges and rooflines before a colony settles in works better than cleaning up after one already has.

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 Oakland 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.
