Bird Exclusion & Prevention

Keep birds out and your property protected.

Bird problems can involve vents, rooflines, ledges, attics and other sheltered spaces. The correct solution depends on the species, active nest status, building use and applicable state or federal protections.

THE PROCESS

Our Bird Exclusion Process

A clear process keeps the work focused on the cause, not only the symptom.

01

Identify

Determine the bird species, activity area, likely entry route and whether an active nest or young may be present.

02

Plan

Choose an exclusion method that fits the building and legal timing rather than disturbing protected activity.

03

Exclude

Install screening, barriers or other approved deterrent/exclusion measures included in the written scope.

04

Monitor

Confirm the treated area is functioning as intended and identify any new or unrelated access points.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Protection starts with identification

Species Matters

Different species and circumstances can carry different legal requirements. Identification comes before exclusion.

Common Entry Areas

Vents, eaves, roofline gaps, ledges and sheltered cavities can support roosting or nesting activity.

Active Nests

Do not casually remove or block an active nest. Federal and state protections may apply depending on species and nest status.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Helpful things to know

Can you remove any bird nest?

No. Species and nest status matter, and federal or state protections may apply. The situation should be identified before a nest is disturbed or an opening is closed.

Do you use poison?

No. Bird-control recommendations focus on lawful exclusion, access correction and appropriate deterrence rather than poisoning wildlife.

Can you screen a vent?

Often, yes—provided the vent can still function as intended and active wildlife or young are not sealed inside. The exact screening method depends on the vent and building.

LOCAL. RESPONSIVE. PROFESSIONAL.
