SERVICES
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.
Plan
Choose an exclusion method that fits the building and legal timing rather than disturbing protected activity.
Exclude
Install screening, barriers or other approved deterrent/exclusion measures included in the written scope.
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.
