Bird Poop Is Quietly Costing You Thousands (Here’s How to Stop It)

Birds may seem harmless at first glance, but if you’re a homeowner in Arizona—especially in places like Queen Creek, Buckeye, or Surprise—you’ll want to think twice before ignoring the signs of pigeons on your roof. Their droppings are more than just unsightly. They can seriously damage your property and even cut the lifespan of your roof in half.

Bird Poop Can Cut Your Roof’s Life in Half

Pigeon droppings are full of acid. Over time, that acid eats away at roof materials—especially tar-based roofing and tile. According to InterNACHI:

“The life expectancy of a warehouse roof can be cut in half by a light, but continuous, layer of bird droppings.”

That applies to homes, too. Even a small, steady mess can mean leaks, cracks, and expensive repairs years earlier than expected.

Bird Droppings Carry Dangerous Diseases

When droppings dry out, they release dust that can be inhaled. That dust may contain over 60 different diseases, including:

• Histoplasmosis – a lung infection

• Toxoplasmosis – can spread from roof mess to food

• Q Fever – carried in bird-related bacteria

These can be serious, especially for kids, seniors, and pets.

Nesting Birds Make Things Worse

Birds love to build nests in:

• Rain gutters

• Roof corners

• Under solar panels

• Vents and chimneys

Blocked gutters can cause water buildup and roof leaks. Blocked vents can even lead to carbon monoxide backups inside the home. And since nests are made of twigs, feathers, and droppings, they’re a major fire hazard—especially near solar inverters or attic fans.

Why Pigeon Proofing Matters

When pigeons make your home theirs, they don’t leave without a fight. The longer they stay, the worse the mess, smell, and damage gets.

That’s why Cheetah offers:

• Spike and wire systems to stop landing and nesting

• Critter guards for solar panels

• Deep cleaning for droppings and nests

• Safe, humane removal
