Bird Exclusion
Bird Netting & Control in Sunnyvale, CA
101 Exterminators installs bird netting in Sunnyvale on commercial rooftops, loading docks, parking structures and the undersides of solar arrays — exclusion hardware that keeps birds off a surface without harming them. California licensed, SPCB Lic. #9119, since 2005. The flat-roofed light-industrial buildings along Lawrence Expressway and the office blocks through Moffett Park are prime pigeon real estate, and so are the ledges over South Murphy Avenue.
Warning Signs
Signs You Need Bird Control Service in Sunnyvale
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 Sunnyvale
Every job follows the same methodical approach — no shortcuts, no guesswork. Here is what to expect when you work with us in Sunnyvale.
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 Sunnyvale
What keeps pigeons out from under a solar array in Sunnyvale?
Perimeter mesh clipped to the panel frames is the only approach that holds up. The gap between panel and roof is warm, shaded and predator-free, which is why pigeons choose it on both residential ranch roofs and commercial carport arrays around Sunnyvale. Spikes and visual deterrents do almost nothing in that space. We clear the existing nesting material first, then close the perimeter so the array itself stays untouched and still serviceable.
Do restaurants on South Murphy Avenue need bird control for outdoor seating?
Most do, because the seating is out there year-round. The 100 block of South Murphy Avenue is closed to cars for dining, which puts tables under awnings, signage and building ledges where house sparrows and starlings already roost. Droppings above a service area are a health-inspection problem and a daily cleaning problem at the same time. Ledge exclusion and netting on the overhead surfaces removes the source rather than managing the mess underneath it.
Is bird netting on a Moffett Park building harmful to the birds?
No — netting and ledge hardware exclude birds from a surface rather than trapping or killing them. UV-stabilized net is tensioned across the opening so birds land somewhere else, and stainless spikes simply remove the flat footing on a sill or parapet. That distinction matters at Sunnyvale's north end, where Moffett Park sits beside the protected Baylands wetlands and their shorebird habitat. Nest removal is timed and handled to stay inside the protections that apply to native species.
