Bird Exclusion
Bird Netting & Control in Marina, CA
101 Exterminators installs bird netting in Marina on commercial roofs, loading docks, and covered walkways where pigeons (Columba livia), European starlings, and house sparrows roost. Marina's salt air and constant onshore wind destroy ordinary hardware, so we spec UV-stabilized netting and corrosion-resistant anchors for the exposure. We clean the site, remove nests, install the exclusion, and return to check tension. SPCB Lic. #9119.
Warning Signs
Signs You Need Bird Control Service in Marina
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 Marina
Every job follows the same methodical approach — no shortcuts, no guesswork. Here is what to expect when you work with us in Marina.
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 Marina
How long does bird netting last on a building this close to Monterey Bay?
Service life on the Marina coast comes down to the hardware, not the mesh. UV-stabilized polyethylene net handles sun exposure well; it is the cable, fasteners, and anchors that decide how long the install stays tight, because salt air attacks plated steel at the fastener head first. We use corrosion-resistant components on Marina jobs and inspect the perimeter cable at follow-up, since a loose corner is what lets birds back in.
Pigeons roost under the overhangs at our Marina shopping center but not on the open roof. Why?
They are getting out of the wind. Marina takes steady onshore flow most afternoons, so birds move to whatever is sheltered — leeward parapets, covered loading bays, recessed sign faces, and the underside of solar arrays. That is useful information, because it means exclusion can be aimed at the lee elevations and the covered areas instead of netting an entire roof.
Is it legal to remove an active bird nest at a Marina property?
Pigeons, European starlings, and house sparrows are not protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, so their nests may be removed. Most native species are protected, and an active nest with eggs or young has to be left until the birds fledge. We identify the species before anything is touched, then schedule the exclusion work for after nesting activity ends so the netting goes onto an empty structure.
