Bird Exclusion
Bird Netting & Control in Morgan Hill, CA
101 Exterminators installs bird netting in Morgan Hill on barns, covered arenas, commercial rooftops, and the storefront facades along Monterey Road. We are California licensed, SPCB Lic. #9119, working South Santa Clara County since 2005. Structural exclusion is a different product from the crop net growers drape over vineyard rows before harvest — this is UV-stabilized mesh, ledge hardware, and cable tensioned to a building.
Warning Signs
Signs You Need Bird Control Service in Morgan Hill
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 Morgan Hill
Every job follows the same methodical approach — no shortcuts, no guesswork. Here is what to expect when you work with us in Morgan Hill.
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 Morgan Hill
Swallows build under my barn eave in Morgan Hill every spring. When can the nests come down?
Only before the birds return or after the young have fledged and the nest is inactive. Barn swallows are native migratory birds protected under federal law, so an active nest holding eggs or chicks cannot be removed. The workable approach is to plan exclusion for the off-season window: clean the surface, then install netting or slope hardware across the eave and truss bays so there is nothing to attach mud to when they arrive the following spring.
Pigeons roost on the sign and awning of my Monterey Road storefront. What actually stops them?
Physical exclusion stops them; scare devices and gels rarely last a season. On a downtown storefront that usually means stainless ledge spikes on the parapet cap and sign top, slope hardware in the sheltered corners, and netting to close a recessed entry or an open soffit. The droppings already there should be cleaned with proper protection first, because a fouled surface keeps advertising the roost. Ledge width and whether the surface is visible from the sidewalk decide which method fits.
Is building netting the same thing as the netting growers put over vineyard rows?
No, and it is a common mix-up in a wine country town. Crop netting is a lightweight seasonal drape meant to keep birds off fruit for a few weeks before harvest. Structural bird netting is UV-stabilized mesh, sized in millimeters to the target species, tensioned on a cable perimeter and anchored to the building to stay up for years. Crop net stretched across a barn opening usually ends in sagging mesh, trapped birds, and a bigger mess than you started with.
