ABC Wildlife is a Certified Installer of Humane Pigeon Deterrents Since 1976

When there’s a pigeon colony at your site, pigeon abatement and exclusion is needed because pigeon droppings are a health hazard. Nesting and contamination can be widespread, but it doesn’t have to be.

Since 1976, we’ve been resolving human-wildlife conflict across Chicago and Illinois by humanely removing pigeons and removing the mess they leave behind.

  • Humanely remove pigeons and other birds from buildings and infrastructure
  • Bird control at airports and food plants
  • Eliminate health hazards by removing pigeon nesting, droppings, and contamination
  • Install barriers to prevent pigeons from ever coming back
  • Deliver peace of mind

How Animals Can Ruin Your Holidays

I think I’ve been in denial up until now with all the warm weather we’ve been having in Chicago. But with Christmas coming up this week, there’s no denying that winter and the holidays are here. Along with choosing recipes and beginning to pick out gifts for people, I’ve been thinking about the kinds of pest and wildlife control calls we get at ABC Wildlife this time of year.

Illinois Pigeon Control & Removal

Sometimes called Rock Doves, pigeons are prolific breeders and are largely unafraid of humans. They gather in large numbers and can create significant problems for business owners and town or city management. ABC Humane Wildlife Control & Prevention has the experience, resources, and methods to address all of your bird control issues and remove pigeons from your business or municipality effectively.

Pigeon Identification

Pigeons are sometimes referred to as “flying rats” because, much like rats, they are prolific, dirty, and can cause disease in humans. Pigeons come in a variety of sizes and shapes, but the common Feral Rock Pigeon is approximately 11-15 inches long and weighs 8-14 ounces. This bird has a steel blue head and neck area and iridescent green, purple, red, or yellow coloring along its neck and wing feathers.

Pigeon Habitat in Illinois

Pigeons are common throughout northern Illinois and the rest of the United States. The rock pigeon has adapted especially well to city and suburban life where food scraps create a plentiful food source and there are plenty of ledges on apartment buildings, roofs of commercial buildings, and other man-made structures upon which to nest.

Pigeon Damage to Illinois Property

In addition to being a general nuisance, pigeons cause significant damage to commercial and municipal structures. They contaminate food storage at restaurants and grocery stores and damage commercial and rooftop machinery by roosting in air conditioning and HVAC systems. They clog roof drains, ventilation systems, and air handlers with nesting material and waste, polluting and restricting the air and water sources of these critical building systems.

If proper precautions aren’t taken to adequately deal with a pigeon situation, the problem will escalate. Pigeons are prolific breeders with a single pair breeding up to 5 times a year,  and what may begin as a small problem will undoubtedly expand in size and scope.

Pigeon Health Concerns

Like many wild animals, pigeons and their waste are responsible for a wide variety of major health problems for humans. Pigeon droppings are known carriers of histoplasmosis (also known as “Caver’s Lung” or “Spelunker’s Lung”), cryptococcosis (a potentially fatal lung disease), psittacosis, salmonella, avian flu, and West Nile virus. Pigeons are also hosts to mites, fleas, and ticks, each of which also spread harmful diseases.
