Stadiums

Gamedays are hard enough to prep for without the added need to clean up bird waste.

Stadiums represent the trifecta for pest birds; food, sun, & shelter. With open air feel incorporated into design and the current trend of moving stadiums back downtown or creating entertainment districts around them, stadiums provide pigeons and sparrows with lots of opportunities to perch, roost, and nest in areas that are easily accessible for them and not so easily accessible to people.

Bird Control at stadiums means a lot of different things, even within one stadium. Concourses, light towers, scoreboards, stairwells, facades, etc. are all susceptible to pest bird issues.

Because of stadiums’ limited use - even a baseball stadium only operates approximately 100 days a year - there is lots of time for birds to settle in and do their business.

Problems at stadiums vary. Sparrows in concourses. Pigeons on beams over the seating bowl. Starlings flocking to light towers during migratory season. Even less common issues exist such as Osprey nesting.

Stadiums also come in lots of shapes and sizes - from small pavilions at high schools or colleges to the grand coliseums used by colleges and the pros. The one thing they have in common is that nobody likes to be pooped on while watching a game!
