Pigeons:
The Urban Invaders You Didn’t Invite
BEHAVIOR
Pigeons are highly adaptable and thrive in cities and suburbs. They often roost on rooftops, ledges, and window sills, nesting in hidden spots around HVAC units, attics, and signs. In Northwest Arkansas cities like Fayetteville and Bentonville, they’re a common sight near homes, restaurants, and office buildings.
RISKS
- Guano (droppings) is highly acidic and can corrode shingles, brick, and metal
- Droppings and nests harbor pathogens like Salmonella
- Large flocks cause noise, debris buildup, and ongoing sanitation issues
