Bird Exclusion
Bird Netting & Control in Foster City, CA
101 Exterminators installs bird netting and control in Foster City for office campuses, retail centers, parking structures, and HOA buildings, California licensed under SPCB Lic. #9119 and working since 2005. This city has no natural ledges at all, so every roosting site pigeons use here was built — and that is exactly why exclusion hardware works so well on these properties.
Warning Signs
Signs You Need Bird Control Service in Foster 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 Foster City
Every job follows the same methodical approach — no shortcuts, no guesswork. Here is what to expect when you work with us in Foster 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 Foster City
Why do pigeons concentrate on Foster City office buildings instead of the neighborhoods?
Because those buildings are the only cliffs in town. The city is flat engineered fill with no natural ledges, so pigeons take the constructed equivalents — parking structures on Mariners Island Boulevard, rooftop equipment screens and HVAC curbs in the Vintage Park and Chess Drive office areas, loading dock canopies, and sign faces. Excluding those specific ledges moves the pressure off the property rather than pushing birds from one roof bay to the next.
Can bird netting be installed on a Foster City building next to the Bay marsh?
Yes, with species identification and timing handled first. Foster City fronts tidal marsh and sits across from the Redwood Shores Ecological Reserve, and active nests of native and migratory species carry federal protection, so we confirm what is present and schedule around it. Exclusion hardware — netting, ledge spikes, wire — keeps birds off the structure without harming them, which is why it suits a location this close to protected habitat.
Do pigeon droppings really damage a flat commercial roof in Foster City?
Yes, in two separate ways. Uric acid breaks down roofing membrane, coatings, and equipment finishes over time, and nesting debris clogs roof drains and scuppers — a serious issue on a flat roof in a city where drainage is fully engineered and the rain arrives concentrated between November and March. Droppings also carry pathogens, so removal is done with containment and respiratory protection before any exclusion hardware goes up.
