Why Upper West Side Has a Pigeons Problem
Upper West Side properties, from classic brownstones on tree-lined side streets to landmark buildings along Central Park West and Broadway, face unique pigeon challenges due to ornate cornices, ledges, and proximity to green spaces like Riverside Park and Central Park.

Why Choose Us for Pigeon Control & Deterrents in Upper West Side
Pigeon control is a long-term exclusion and deterrence program — without physical barriers, pigeons return to the same roosts and ledges year after year regardless of how many are removed. We assess your property's specific ledge, roofline, HVAC equipment, and structural features to design a custom deterrent system using the most appropriate products for each surface: stainless steel spike strips for ledges, UV-resistant polypropylene netting for large open areas and courtyards, and electric track systems for particularly persistent roosting sites. All exclusion work is installed with professional-grade fasteners and adhesives designed to hold in NYC weather. Every service includes a service agreement — terms depend on the service and are confirmed on the call.

We typically recommend bird netting, spike systems, and shock track deterrents depending on your building's architecture. For historic or landmarked properties, we use discreet solutions that are virtually invisible from street level. Solar-powered systems and humane exclusion methods work particularly well for brownstones and co-ops common throughout the neighborhood.
