Bird Mitigation

Specialized Bird Mitigation:
Protecting Your Siding & Eaves

Expert solutions for Woodpeckers, Swallows, and invasive Sparrows.

Defending the "Mountain Modern" Home

In the Rockies, birds aren’t just a nuisance; they can be a structural threat. Whether it’s the rhythmic drumming of a woodpecker or the stubborn mud-nesting of swallows, these birds are driven by powerful instincts. Standard pest control doesn’t work here—behavioral mitigation does.

Our Specialized Approach

  1. Woodpecker Structural Defense
    Woodpeckers don’t just peck for food; they peck to communicate and to find “drumming” spots. We don’t just patch the holes; we address the reason they chose the siding of your house or structure.

    The Solution: We use high-durability, discreet deterrents and specialized “backing” materials that make your siding unappealing for drumming and nesting.

  2. Cliff & Barn Swallow Exclusion
    Swallows are incredibly loyal to their nesting sites. Once they’ve built a mud nest under your eaves, they will return year after year.

    The Solution: Timing is everything. We offer “Eave Shielding” using nearly invisible netting or steep-angle deterrents that prevent mud from adhering, forcing the swallows to find a natural habitat away from your home.

  3. Sparrow Management
    House sparrows are opportunistic and can quickly take over vents, shutters, and solar panels.

    The Solution: We provide “Mechanical Exclusion,” sealing off the specific voids and crevices they use for nesting with architectural-grade mesh that blends into your home’s trim.

Respecting the Environment

Swallows and Woodpeckers are protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Our "Listen First" process ensures we follow all federal guidelines—mitigating the problem humanely and legally while ensuring your home remains a "No-Fly Zone" for nesting.

Did you know?

Timing is critical for Swallows. Consult with us early in the spring to protect your eaves before nesting season begins.

Why Bird Control Is Essential

Birds residing around your property can cause health risks and substantial damage. Bird droppings are known to transmit over 60 diseases and ectoparasites to both humans and animals. Additionally, dried droppings can contaminate ventilation systems, posing further health risks. Key concerns include:

  • Acidic Droppings: Bird droppings can stain and corrode the surfaces of homes and vehicles.
  • Water Contamination: Droppings can pollute pools, spas, and lakeside areas.
  • Blockages: Nesting materials can clog pipes and drains.
  • Fire Hazards: Nests near lighting fixtures can increase the risk of fires.
  • Insect Infestations: Nests may harbor bird mites.
  • Damage to Gardens: Birds can wreak havoc on backyard gardens and crops.
  • Devaluation of Property: Unsightly nests and droppings can diminish property value.
