Bird Netting in Reno, NV

Bird netting is a physical barrier that permanently keeps pigeons, starlings, sparrows and swallows out of a space they have decided to nest in — and Rodent & Wildlife Services LLC installs it on homes and commercial buildings throughout Reno, Sparks, Sun Valley, Spanish Springs, Lemmon Valley, Cold Springs, Verdi, Washoe Valley, Carson City, Dayton and Fernley. Unlike spikes, gels or noise devices that only push birds a few feet down the ledge, netting closes the opening entirely. If the birds cannot get in, there is nothing left to argue about.

Reno gives birds an unusually good deal. The Truckee River corridor and the irrigated valleys out toward Dayton and Fernley provide water and grain year-round, and rock pigeons, house sparrows and European starlings are all non-native species that do not migrate out of the region when it gets cold. They simply move onto the warmest structure they can find — the south face of a house, the gap under a solar array, an open patio cover, a parapet, a carport, or the sheltered space above a commercial loading dock. Add the cliff swallows and barn swallows that return each spring to plaster mud nests under eaves and bridge-style overhangs, and most Reno property owners are dealing with birds during at least part of the year.

The damage is not cosmetic. Bird droppings are acidic and they eat through paint, stucco sealant, galvanized flashing, HVAC condenser fins and solar panel frames. Nesting debris packs into swamp cooler housings, gable vents and gutters, which matters in a valley where a single hard summer thunderstorm can dump water faster than a clogged gutter can move it. And nests bring ectoparasites — bird mites and fleas that leave the nest looking for a new host once the chicks fledge, usually by coming down a light fixture or a ceiling gap into your living room.

Signs You Need Bird Netting in Reno

You need bird netting when birds have committed to a specific space on your building rather than just passing through. Here is what that looks like on a Reno property:

Materials & Options for Reno Properties

The materials that survive in Reno are not the materials that survive at sea level in a mild climate, and this is where a lot of cheap bird netting fails. At roughly 4,500 feet, the Truckee Meadows gets intense high-desert UV year-round, big daily temperature swings, winter snow load, and the Washoe Zephyr — the strong afternoon downslope wind that comes off the Sierra most summer days. Netting and fasteners here take constant mechanical stress plus UV bombardment.

Options Rodent & Wildlife Services LLC works with in Reno include:

Netting is the right call for enclosing a volume — a patio cover, a courtyard, an open carport, a rafter bay, a loading dock, a parapet recess. For a flat ledge or a narrow beam, a different exclusion product is often cheaper and cleaner. We will tell you which one your building actually needs during the free inspection.
