Bird Netting & Control in Soledad, CA
Roosting Prevention · Netting · Spikes · Structural Protection
Bird roosting and nesting on structures causes real, measurable damage: uric acid in droppings degrades roofing materials, blocking materials with nesting debris accelerates water intrusion, and accumulated droppings carry pathogens including Histoplasma and Cryptococcus. 101 Exterminators installs professional-grade exclusion systems — netting, ledge spikes, wire deterrents, and slope hardware — that prevent roosting without harming birds.. Serving Soledad and surrounding Monterey County.

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.

How It Works

Every job follows the same methodical approach — no shortcuts, no guesswork. Here is what to expect when you work with us in Soledad.
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

Common Questions
Bird Netting & Control FAQs for Soledad
Is bird control legal in California?
Excluding birds from roosting on structures is fully legal. However, federal and California law prohibit disturbing active nests containing eggs or chicks of native migratory species (including swallows and house sparrows in some contexts). We follow all applicable regulations, including timing nest removal to inactive periods.
How long does bird netting last?
Commercial-grade UV-stabilized polyethylene bird netting has a typical lifespan of 10 years or more in exterior applications. Stainless steel spike systems last 15+ years. Longevity depends on installation quality and maintenance.
