Bird Exclusion
Bird Netting & Control in Daly City, CA
101 Exterminators installs bird netting and exclusion in Daly City for commercial rooftops, parking structures, loading docks and storefront signage, California licensed under SPCB Lic. #9119 since 2005. Pigeons work the flat-roof retail corridors along Serramonte Boulevard, Mission Street and John Daly Boulevard, and the fog is what turns their droppings into a building problem rather than a cleaning one. Netting and ledge spikes stop roosting without harming birds.
Warning Signs
Signs You Need Bird Control Service in Daly City
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 Daly City
Every job follows the same methodical approach — no shortcuts, no guesswork. Here is what to expect when you work with us in Daly City.
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 Daly City
Do pigeons actually damage a flat commercial roof in Daly City, or is it just a mess?
They damage it, and the coastal climate makes it worse. Uric acid degrades roofing membrane, flashing and painted metal, and Daly City fog keeps droppings wet long enough to stay chemically active instead of drying off. Nest material also blocks roof drains and scuppers, which turns a wet-season storm into ponding or a leak. That combination is why exclusion is usually the better investment than repeated cleaning cycles.
Can bird netting hold up to the wind on a Serramonte-area rooftop?
Yes, when it is specified and anchored for the exposure. Daly City buildings take steady marine wind and salt air, so we use UV-stabilized netting with corrosion-resistant fastening, a tensioned cable perimeter, and anchor spacing set for the load rather than the minimum. Poorly tensioned netting fails faster here than inland — sagging panels flap, wear at the anchor points, and eventually let birds in behind the net.
Is it legal to remove a bird nest from a Daly City storefront sign?
It depends on the species and whether the nest is active. Many native birds are protected under federal migratory bird rules, so an active nest with eggs or chicks cannot simply be pulled. Feral pigeons, house sparrows and European starlings are not covered the same way. We identify the species and nest status first, remove and sanitize what can lawfully be removed, then install exclusion so that ledge is not available next season.
