Rock Dove

Rock Doves, also known as pigeons, are medium-sized birds with variable plumage. Most are blue-gray with iridescent throat feathers, but colors can range from white to black. They have two dark bands across their wings and a dark band on the tail.

Look for excessive bird droppings on ledges, roofs, and sidewalks around your Myrtle Beach property. Nests made of twigs and debris may be found in sheltered areas such as under eaves or inside unused structures. You may also notice increased bird activity and cooing sounds, particularly in the early morning.

Our SC-licensed technicians can install bird netting, spikes, and other physical barriers to prevent roosting and nesting. We also provide cleanup and sanitation services to remove droppings and disinfect affected areas, ensuring a safe and healthy environment.

Eliminate food sources by keeping trash cans covered and cleaning up spilled food. Seal entry points to buildings and structures to prevent nesting. Install bird deterrents such as netting or spikes on ledges and other roosting areas. Regular pressure washing of sidewalks and patios can reduce buildup of droppings around your Myrtle Beach home.

Rock Doves thrive in urban and suburban environments, including the Grand Strand area. They are commonly found near buildings, bridges, and other structures that provide shelter and nesting sites. They are well-adapted to coastal SC's climate, finding food and water sources in both natural and human-altered landscapes.
