Bird control in Pocatello is a commercial concern concentrated on the commercial corridors, the campus buildings, and the railroad and the industrial structures where the pigeons and the starlings roost on the ledges and the signs. The rock doves (pigeons) are the primary species, and the railroad and the industrial areas add the agricultural dimension. The professional bird deterrent uses the spikes, the netting, and the tensioned wire systems.

The Pocatello bird species

  • Rock dove (pigeon) — the primary roosting bird on the commercial ledges.
  • European starling — the large flocking bird that roosts on the signs.
  • House sparrow — the small bird that nests in the gaps and the voids.
  • Ring-billed gull — the seasonal visitor around the fields.

Where the birds are in Pocatello

  • The campus buildings — the starlings and the pigeons on the institutional rooflines.

  • The shopping centers and the strip malls — the starlings on the sign ledges.

How bird control works

  1. Inspection. The technician identifies the species, the roosting sites, and the traffic patterns.
  2. Deterrent selection. The spikes, the netting, the wire system, or the gel deterrent is matched to the building.
  3. Installation. The deterrents are installed on the ledges, the signs, the rooflines, and the gaps.
  4. Clean-up. The accumulated droppings are removed and the surfaces are sanitized.
  5. Monitoring. The annual inspection checks the deterrents for the damage and the new roosting sites.

The campus and the railroad factor

The Idaho State University campus buildings and the railroad structures are the large roofline part of the Pocatello bird picture. The pigeons and the starlings roost on the institutional and the industrial roofs, and the deterrent systems and the waste management are the long-term solution.

The pigeons on the commercial ledges in Pocatello are not the problem that starts and ends with the spikes. The food waste from the restaurants and the open dumpsters keeps the population high. The building owner who installs the spikes and manages the waste is the one who actually solves the pigeon problem.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does bird control cost in Pocatello?
A pigeon deterrent installation on the downtown buildings runs $500 to $2,500 depending on the roofline. The bird spikes start at $15 per foot, and the netting is quoted per square foot.
Which birds cause the most problems in Pocatello?
The pigeons (rock doves) are the primary concern on the commercial corridors. The European starlings and the house sparrows are the secondary species, and the gulls are the seasonal concern.
Are the birds a health concern?
The bird droppings carry the histoplasmosis and the cryptococcosis risks, and the nests can harbor the bird mites.
Do the bird spikes hurt the birds?
No. The bird spikes are the blunt, stainless steel or the plastic deterrents that make the ledge uncomfortable for the birds to land.
Does the railroad area add to the bird pressure?
It does. The railroad and the industrial buildings attract the pigeons and the starlings that follow the storage and the shipping.
How long does the bird deterrent last?
The stainless steel spikes and the netting are the permanent installations with the 10-year or the longer lifespan.
