They seem to be infesting the neighborhoods here in Surprise. They are nesting in roofs and basically you see them roosting on every rooftop. Is this commomn in the entire valley. What is the best way to get rid of them?

I had the same problem on my patio, Markas. The poop was driving me nuts.

Try hanging a few CDs via fishing line around the invaded area and the Pigeons will become scarce. For some strange reason, Pigeons and Doves do not like the flashing from the spinning CDs.

Good Luck

I actually thought of going the bb gun route. Could damage the tile roof though.

au contraire, my friend.

That pigeon poop will ruin your roof quite well.

Their feces is acidic; it will eat through anything in time....

A pellet gun, after you take down a couple, the rest just seem to know to stay away.
