What Damage Can Pigeons Do to Your Home or Property?

Most people see pigeons every day and don’t give them a second thought. They’re everywhere, perched on rooftops, powerlines, or sidewalks. But when pigeons decide your home is a good place to nest or roost, that’s when the problems really start. At All City Animal Trapping, we’ve handled countless pigeon infestations across Southern California, and the damage they leave behind is no joke.

The Trouble Pigeons Bring

Structural Damage

Pigeons love sheltered spaces like attics, eaves, vents, and rooflines. Once they settle in, their presence can quickly create costly repairs:

  • Clogged gutters and drains – Their nests are full of twigs, leaves, and debris. When that blocks your gutters, rainwater overflows and can cause roof leaks or even foundation damage.

  • Roof corrosion – Pigeon droppings are highly acidic. Over time, they eat away at shingles, tar, and other roofing materials, leading to leaks and deterioration.

  • Vent blockages – When pigeons nest in chimneys or vents, airflow is restricted. In some cases, this even creates a fire hazard.

Health Risks

Their droppings aren’t just unsightly—they’re dangerous.

  • Disease carriers – Pigeon waste can harbor serious illnesses like histoplasmosis, cryptococcosis, and psittacosis. These can spread through spores in dried droppings.

  • Contamination – If droppings end up near food, water, or surfaces around your home, it creates unsanitary conditions for your family and pets.

Damage to Property

Acidic droppings don’t stop at roofs. They can ruin just about any surface:

  • Paint and finishes – Cars, patio furniture, siding, and railings can all corrode or discolor from pigeon waste.

  • Permanent stains – Sidewalks, driveways, and outdoor patios often end up with dark, hard-to-remove patches where pigeons roost overhead.

Noise and Nuisance

Anyone who’s lived near pigeons knows how noisy they can be.

  • Constant cooing – The sound isn’t just annoying—it’s relentless, especially in the early morning.

  • Aggressive behavior – During nesting season, pigeons sometimes become territorial and swoop at people or pets who get too close.
