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