WHY IS PIGEON CONTROL IMPORTANT?

Pigeons have a way of turning up where they’re not wanted—rooflines, vents, balconies, and signs. Over time, their droppings stain surfaces, their nests block airflow, and the constant presence starts to wear on your space.

What begins as a minor nuisance can slowly turn into property damage and cleanup headaches.

1. Health Concerns

Their droppings can attract insects, carry bacteria, and trigger breathing issues if left to build up. Cleanup isn’t just unpleasant—it can be risky without the right gear.

2. Protecting Your Home

Nesting pigeons don’t care where they settle—in soffits, under solar panels, or behind vents. Their waste eats through paint and metal, leaving permanent damage if ignored.

3. Keeping Things Clean

No one wants guests—or customers—stepping through bird mess. Whether it’s your front porch or storefront entry, pigeons make clean spaces feel neglected.

If you need pigeon removal in Des Moines, IA or nearby, Bobcat Wildlife & Pest Management is ready to help.

Thank you so much! We debated calling for a long time. When I finally did Blake came the very next day and trapped the squirrel who was the culprit of the damage. He fixed the damage too! We are so happy we finally called, wish we would have done it sooner! Thanks Blake!

Nate with Bobcat Pest was great to work with! I called in about a birds nest removal. He gave the roof a full inspection, cleaned out the nest/dead birds, and returned a week later to patch the hole. Very professional service.

Bobcat Wildlife & Pest Management came to my house to deal with a serious bat problem. I have had no issues with bats since they came, and the guy who did the work on my house was thorough and took obvious pride in his work. They are knowledgeable and thorough and don’t take the easy way out. It was clear that they really cared about solving my bat issue and I highly recommend them to anyone with a bat problem.

Knowledgeable, careful, and insightful-
I had the opportunity to meet with Nicole Spaulding from Bobcat Wildlife and Pest Management to learn more of what she does and to ask questions about their industry, fearing it affected my own (outdoor aquatic stock growth).
She took the time to share with me the ins-and-outs of her industry, genuinely caring for my concerns, resolving them completely in the end.

Highly recommend this group!!! Within 24 hours of my “something stinks” panic call, one of the techs, Ronnie, was at our place taking care of the animals that found their final resting place in our vents… and patched it up so we wouldn’t have this happen again. On time, efficient, and very knowledgeable!!
