Bird Exclusion
Bird Netting & Control in Redwood City, CA
101 Exterminators installs bird netting and exclusion in Redwood City for commercial roofs, loading docks, parking structures and storefront ledges. California licensed, SPCB Lic. #9119, working since 2005. Pigeons read a flat parapet on Broadway the way they read a rock ledge, and the droppings that follow degrade roofing and create a cleanup job long before anyone calls about the birds themselves.
Warning Signs
Signs You Need Bird Control Service in Redwood 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 Redwood City
Every job follows the same methodical approach — no shortcuts, no guesswork. Here is what to expect when you work with us in Redwood 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.

Bird Control You Can Count On in Redwood City
Permanent Exclusion
Netting and spike systems provide lasting exclusion that doesn't require repeated chemical applications or frightening devices that birds habituate to.

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 Redwood City
What does pigeon exclusion involve on a downtown Redwood City storefront?
Usually a combination of ledge hardware and netting, sized to where the birds are actually landing. Flat parapets, cornices, sign tops and window ledges get stainless spikes or tensioned wire; recessed entries, awning undersides and courtyard voids get netting anchored to a perimeter cable. Existing droppings and nests are cleaned and disinfected first, because hardware installed over contamination leaves the sanitation problem in place.
Are birds at the Port of Redwood City warehouses a food safety issue?
For any facility handling or storing food, yes — droppings and nesting material near product, packaging or equipment are a finding an inspector will write up. Exclusion is the durable answer because it removes the roost, while noise and visual deterrents lose effect as birds habituate to them. We install to food-safety standards and can schedule periodic checks so gaps opened by roof or HVAC maintenance get caught.
Is it legal to remove a bird nest from a Redwood City building?
It depends on the species and whether the nest is active. Pigeons, starlings and house sparrows are not protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, while most native species are, and active nests with eggs or young require different handling. We identify the species before touching anything and time the work accordingly. That is also the practical argument for installing exclusion ahead of nesting season rather than during it.
