What Our Customers Say

Trusted by thousands of homeowners and businesses

WD Pigeon Solutions connected me with a local provider who installed solar panel mesh guards. The process was smooth — submitted my info and had a quote within hours. The provider they matched me with was professional and thorough.

Mark Reynolds

Phoenix, AZ · Solar Panel Protection

I had no idea where to find a reliable pigeon control company. WD Pigeon Solutions matched me with a local specialist who did a great job sealing up my attic. Saved me hours of researching and calling around.

Linda Foster

Austin, TX · Attic Sealing

The matching service worked well. Took about a day to get connected, and the provider they sent was knowledgeable. Only giving 4 stars because the provider's availability was tighter than I expected — had to wait a week for the install.

Raymond Okonkwo

Chicago, IL · Bird Spikes Installation

Great referral experience. I described my warehouse pigeon problem, and within 24 hours I was speaking with a commercial bird control provider who understood the scale of the project. The referral was spot on for what I needed.

Cynthia Park

Denver, CO · Warehouse Bird Control

As a restaurant owner, I needed someone fast for a health inspection issue. WD Pigeon Solutions matched me with a provider who came out the next day. The service saved me from a potential violation. Highly recommend using a matching service instead of cold-calling companies.

Thomas Hernandez

Miami, FL · Restaurant Pigeon Solutions

Good experience overall. The provider I was matched with did quality work on our balcony netting. The only hiccup was some back-and-forth on scheduling, but once they arrived, the installation was quick and the netting is nearly invisible.

Patricia Winters

Seattle, WA · Balcony Pigeon Proofing

I manage a portfolio of properties and was tired of vetting pigeon control companies one by one. Now I use WD Pigeon Solutions for every property — they connect me with vetted providers and handle the initial screening. Streamlined my workflow significantly.

James Okafor

Oakland, CA · Multi-Property Management

Our church had pigeons in the bell tower for years. Several companies gave us quotes but none seemed right. The provider WD Pigeon Solutions referred specialized in historic buildings and knew exactly how to protect the original structure. Bless them.

Susan Talbot

Charlotte, NC · Church Steeple Protection

The matching was fast and the provider quotes were competitive. I ended up getting quotes from two providers through the service and chose the one with the better warranty. It's helpful to have options without doing the legwork myself.

Derek Lin

Portland, OR · Gutter Guard Installation

I was skeptical about using a matching service, but it turned out to be the easiest part of the whole process. They asked the right questions upfront so the provider arrived already knowing what to expect. The exclusion system has held up beautifully through two seasons now.

Martha Jennings

Nashville, TN · Structural Exclusion

Our hotel's rooftop HVAC units were a pigeon magnet. WD Pigeon Solutions connected us with a commercial provider who installed screening around all 12 units over a weekend so there was zero guest disruption. Really appreciated how quickly they found someone who could handle the scale.

Vikram Patel

San Diego, CA · AC Unit Protection

The provider they matched us with did solid work on our loading dock deterrents, but communication between referral and install took a few days longer than I'd hoped. The end result was good — just wish the handoff was smoother. Would still use the service again.

Gloria Simmons

Tampa, FL · Loading Dock Bird Control
