Bird Exclusion
Bird Netting & Control in Livermore, CA
101 Exterminators installs bird netting and exclusion in Livermore for commercial buildings, warehouses, wineries and homes — netting, stainless ledge spikes and wire deterrents that stop roosting without harming birds. SPCB Lic. #9119, working Alameda County since 2005. The business parks off Airway Boulevard and the dock ceilings along the I-580 corridor give pigeons the same sheltered ledge the Altamont Hills rock outcrops do.
Warning Signs
Signs You Need Bird Control Service in Livermore
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 Livermore
Every job follows the same methodical approach — no shortcuts, no guesswork. Here is what to expect when you work with us in Livermore.
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.

Droppings Cleanup Included
Accumulated droppings are removed and surfaces are disinfected prior to exclusion installation — not just hardware on top of existing contamination.
Common Questions
Bird Netting & Control FAQs for Livermore
How do we keep pigeons out from under the solar panels on a Livermore roof?
Perimeter exclusion mesh clipped to the array frame is the standard fix. The gap between panel and roof deck is warm, shaded and sheltered, which makes it the best roosting site on most Livermore buildings, and once a pair settles there the droppings collect on the membrane underneath. The work is to clear and clean the space first, then close the perimeter with galvanized or stainless mesh fastened to the panel frame rather than the roof, so nothing penetrates the roofing.
Do Livermore wineries and tasting rooms need bird control?
Many do, for two separate reasons. A tasting room with food service is a food facility to a health inspector, and birds over a prep or service area is a finding. Separately, starlings and house sparrows work fruit and outbuildings on vineyard property, and barns, crush pads and equipment sheds give them open rafter bays to roost in. Netting across open bays plus spikes on exterior ledges handles most of it without harming the birds.
Is it legal to remove a bird nest from a Livermore building?
It depends on the species and whether the nest is active. Pigeons, European starlings and house sparrows are non-native and are not protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, so their nests may be removed. Most native birds are protected, and an active nest with eggs or young generally has to stay until the young fledge. We identify the species before anything is touched and schedule exclusion work for the window when the ledge is empty.
