Bird Exclusion
Bird Netting & Control in Ben Lomond, CA
101 Exterminators installs bird netting in Ben Lomond on the buildings that actually get worked here: barn and cliff swallow nests under eaves and porch ceilings, pigeons and starlings on the commercial roofs along Highway 9, and acorn woodpecker damage in wood siding. Netting, ledge spikes, nest removal, and cleanup are all part of it, and the schedule has to respect nesting law. CA licensed and insured.
Warning Signs
Signs You Need Bird Control Service in Ben Lomond
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 Ben Lomond
Every job follows the same methodical approach — no shortcuts, no guesswork. Here is what to expect when you work with us in Ben Lomond.
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 Ben Lomond
Can I knock the swallow nests off the eave of my Ben Lomond house?
Only outside the nesting season, and only when the nest is inactive. Barn and cliff swallows are protected under the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act, so a nest holding eggs or young cannot be disturbed. The workable approach is to remove old mud nests in fall or winter, clean the surface, and get netting or another exclusion up before the birds return in spring. That window is the one that solves it.
Acorn woodpeckers are drilling holes in my cabin siding — what actually stops them?
Physical exclusion and repair, since the birds are protected. Netting or panels over the affected wall, filling and sealing the existing granary holes so the spot stops advertising itself, and removing the nearby perch are what work. Left open, those holes carry rain into the siding, and wet siding in Ben Lomond leads to decay and carpenter ants — the more serious half of the problem.
Do the businesses along Highway 9 need different bird work than a house does?
Usually, because both the species and the surfaces differ. A house here deals with swallows on eaves and woodpeckers on siding. A commercial building along Highway 9 or Mill Street deals with pigeons and starlings on roof edges, HVAC platforms, signage, and loading areas, which call for ledge spikes, wire, or netting under equipment plus a sanitation cleanup. Food businesses also get written documentation of the exclusion work.
