Warehouses and loading docks. Parking decks and retail rooflines. Porches and eaves. Bird exclusion is permanent structural work and our highest-craft offering. We engineer the installation, cut the mesh on site, and leave the building looking like nothing was added.
Three steps: assessment, engineered design, installation. Every job is custom - we do not install pre-cut kits.
Walk the structure, identify the perch zones, the roosting points, and the conducive conditions. Document the species pressure - pigeon, starling, sparrow, and swallow each call for a different mesh size.
Mesh size matched to species. Attachment method matched to substrate - masonry, steel, wood, or EIFS. Tension matched to span. You see the plan before we install.
Stainless cable perimeter, custom-cut mesh, hog-ring attachment. Cleaned drop zones, sanitized harborage, and a final walk-through with you before sign-off.
Bird netting is the core, permanent fix. Spike strips, electric track, optical deterrents, and bird gel are all installable as secondary methods for ledges and parapets where full netting is not the right call.
We handle bird work for both commercial properties and residential porches and eaves. For general commercial pest programs - kitchens, offices, retail, and multi-unit sites - see commercial pest control. Procurement-grade scoping and our SWaM #717984 vendor record are available for public and institutional bids.
Quality stainless cable and UV-stabilized polyethylene mesh carry a 10-year manufacturer warranty under typical Virginia conditions. Most installations are permanent in practice.
It depends on the application. Storefront-facing rooflines are engineered for low visual impact - black mesh against shadowed soffits is nearly invisible from grade. Open-span installations are visible up close but blend into the structure at distance. We discuss visual impact during the site walk.
Yes. Accumulated droppings are a structural and health concern, and they need to come out before netting goes up. Remediation is part of most installation quotes and is documented separately.
2-inch mesh for pigeon exclusion, 1-1/8 inch for starlings, and 3/4-inch for sparrows and swallows. Mesh size is matched to the smallest target species at the site.
Yes - that is the point of exclusion. Netting physically prevents access without harming the birds. They relocate to alternative sites once the harborage is no longer available.
Residential porch and eave installations run 1 to 2 days. Mid-size commercial runs 3 to 5 days. Large warehouse and parking deck work runs 1 to 3 weeks depending on scale and access. We provide a written schedule before work starts.
One walk-through. One engineered scope. One quote that shows you what gets installed and how.
