Bird Exclusion
Bird Netting & Control in Soledad, CA
101 Exterminators installs bird netting in Soledad for packing and cooling operations, Front Street storefronts, and homes where sparrows have moved in under the roof tile. We survey the roost points, clean and disinfect first, then fit netting, ledge spikes, or tile closures sized to the building. Nest work follows migratory bird rules. Licensed since 2005, SPCB Lic. #9119.
Warning Signs
Signs You Need Bird Control Service in Soledad
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 Soledad
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
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 Soledad
Sparrows are nesting under the tile edge of my Soledad roof — can that be closed off?
Yes. The gap is the open end of the first tile course at the eave, and the fix is a bird stop or eave closure set under the tile so the cavity is no longer reachable. It has to go in after the nesting material is removed, not over it, because old nests hold moisture against the underlayment and attract mites and beetles. Timing matters — if there are active nestlings, migratory bird rules govern when the nest can be disturbed.
What does a food safety auditor want to see at a Soledad packing facility with birds on the roof?
Physical exclusion, documented cleanup, and a monitoring record — not just a report that someone chased the birds off. That usually means netting across open bays and dock ceilings, spikes or wire on the ledges birds are actually using, removal and disinfection of accumulated droppings, and a written service log showing the work and the follow-up checks. Auditors look hardest at anything overhead of a product zone or a packing line, so those areas get closed first.
Pigeons are roosting under the solar panels on a Soledad house — what stops them?
A perimeter skirt clipped to the array. The space between panel and roof deck is dry, shaded, and safe from predators, which is why birds take it, and once nesting material builds up under there it holds water on the roof surface. The permanent fix is removing the debris, cleaning the area, and fitting a mesh skirt around the array edge so nothing can get under. It attaches to the panel frame, not the roof, so the roofing itself is not penetrated.
