Bird Exclusion
Bird Netting & Control in Aromas, CA
101 Exterminators installs bird netting in Aromas on barns, equipment sheds, loading areas, and rural commercial buildings. Pigeons (Columba livia), European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris), and house sparrows (Passer domesticus) feed on the neighboring Pajaro Valley berry and row-crop ground, then roost on the nearest open rafter. We net, spike, remove nests, and clean up droppings with proper protection. SPCB Lic. #9119.
Warning Signs
Signs You Need Bird Control Service in Aromas
We install heavy-duty UV-stabilized bird netting to exclude birds from rooftop HVAC areas, loading dock ceilings, solar array undersides, and decorative architectural features. Stainless steel ledge spikes are installed on parapet walls, window ledges, signage, and other flat roosting surfaces. Electric deterrent systems, wire systems, and slope hardware are available for specific applications. We also remove active nests and clean up accumulated droppings with appropriate biosafety precautions.

How It Works
Our Bird Control Process in Aromas
Every job follows the same methodical approach — no shortcuts, no guesswork. Here is what to expect when you work with us in Aromas.
Survey & Pressure Assessment
We document all roosting and nesting locations, species present, and the structural and sanitary conditions created. We assess approach points and preferred perching locations.
Sanitation & Nest Removal
Before installing exclusion hardware, accumulated droppings are removed and affected surfaces are disinfected. Active nests are removed in compliance with migratory bird regulations.
Exclusion Installation
Netting, spikes, wire, or other deterrents are professionally installed and anchored to prevent bird access to treated areas. Installations are designed for long life and aesthetic integration with the structure.
Monitoring & Maintenance
For commercial facilities, we offer periodic inspection to confirm exclusion integrity and address any gaps created by maintenance activities or structural changes.

Common Questions
Bird Netting & Control FAQs for Aromas
Will netting work on an open-sided barn in Aromas, or do the sides have to be closed in?
Netting works on open-sided barns as long as it is placed at the right plane. On Aromas barns and equipment bays we normally net across the bay opening or just below the truss line instead of trying to enclose the whole building, which shuts off the roost without shutting off the structure. Where a full net is impractical, stainless spikes on the purlins and truss chords take away the landing surfaces instead.
Is it legal for me to knock down a bird nest in my barn?
It depends entirely on the species, and that is the first thing we check. Pigeons, European starlings, and house sparrows are non-native and not federally protected, so their nests can be removed. Native species such as barn swallows are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and an active nest with eggs or young cannot be disturbed — with those, exclusion goes up after nesting season ends. We identify the species during the survey and plan the timing around it.
Droppings have piled up under a roost in my equipment shed — is cleanup included?
Yes, and it happens before any hardware goes up. Accumulated droppings are removed with appropriate respiratory protection and the surfaces disinfected, because dried droppings carry pathogens including Histoplasma and Cryptococcus and also feed beetles and bird mites that drop into the space below. On Aromas feed and hay buildings this step matters more than the netting itself, since contaminated material sitting above stored feed is the real exposure.
