What we do

Keep pigeons off your facade.

Pigeons and other birds settle on ledges, window sills and cornices, and their droppings stain the facade and everything below. We install building-mounted deterrents where birds land — at any height.

About this service

Bird control and pigeon spike installation in NYC

Pigeons and other birds gather on ledges, window sills, cornices and other building features. Their droppings stain facades, windows and the sidewalk below, and keep coming back after every cleaning. Building-mounted deterrents stop birds from landing in the first place.

What we install

  • Bird spikes
  • Other building-mounted deterrent systems
  • On ledges, window sills and cornices
  • Including hard-to-reach areas at height

Installation at any height

The places birds choose are often the hardest to reach. Our crews install deterrents from rope descent systems (RDS) and from truck-mounted lifts with working heights from 40 up to 230 ft, following job-specific safety procedures on every project.

Installation can be combined with façade cleaning or window cleaning in a single visit. We serve Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island, as well as Long Island, New Jersey and Connecticut, and every estimate is free and without obligation.
