Bird Exclusion
Bird Netting & Control in Monte Sereno, CA

How It Works
Our Bird Control Process in Monte Sereno
Every job follows the same methodical approach — no shortcuts, no guesswork. Here is what to expect when you work with us in Monte Sereno.
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 Monte Sereno
How do you keep pigeons out from under solar panels on a Monte Sereno roof?
With a mesh skirt clipped around the perimeter of the array so birds cannot reach the gap between the panels and the roof deck. The clips fasten to the panel frame — nothing is drilled into the roof or the array, which keeps your solar warranty intact. Before the mesh goes on we clear the accumulated nesting debris and droppings underneath, because leaving that material traps moisture against the roofing and keeps drawing birds back. Array size and roof pitch determine how long the installation takes on a given house.
Are swallow nests on a Monte Sereno eave protected, and when can they come down?
Yes — swallows are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act while a nest is active with eggs or young, and removal has to wait until the nest is finished and vacated. That is why the durable fix is exclusion installed outside the nesting season, before the birds come back to the same eave. Swallows return to prior sites, so a corner used last spring will be used again. Netting or slope hardware on that face in the off-season stops them building instead of forcing a removal decision later.
Do birds roosting in a Monte Sereno barn or equipment shelter cause a real problem?
Yes — droppings over stored hay, feed, tack and equipment are a contamination issue, and accumulated droppings on structural surfaces are a health concern during cleanup. Open-sided barns and shelters in the Loma Serena area and on other Monte Sereno acreage are attractive precisely because they give overhead cover with nothing closed at night. Deterrent devices rarely hold in an open bay; the birds shift a few feet down the beam. Netting the bay is the approach that actually closes the roost.
