Repeated trips to a roof opening, sounds near a vent or nesting material around an outbuilding can leave you wondering what is happening inside. Tell us what you have noticed without disturbing the opening or nest.
Modern Pest Control provides custom bird-exclusion work in King, Pierce and Thurston counties. Exclusion means planning ways to keep birds from entering or reusing problem areas. The building, bird activity and condition of the area shape the recommendation.
Call or text 253-414-1987 for a professional opinion. A photo or short video taken from the ground can help, but it is optional.
The activity around the opening matters
Useful details include where birds are coming and going, whether they are carrying nesting material or food, and when you hear activity. Share what you can observe from an ordinary accessible area.
A bird perched on a roof does not establish that it is nesting inside. Understanding the pattern helps focus an assessment rather than assuming every opening needs the same work.
Check occupancy before closing an opening
Do not block an active entry or remove a nest to prepare for our visit. Eggs, young birds or adults may still be present. Species and nesting status affect when and how work can proceed.
Many birds and active nests are legally protected. We can discuss the situation and plan the next step around the protections and timing that apply.
Well-planned work, quoted for the property
The proposed exclusion work should account for the opening, surrounding materials, access and how the building needs to function. Tell us about any previous repair or a spot the birds keep returning to.
We discuss the scope and bid the work as needed. Ask which areas are included, what will be installed or repaired, how existing activity will be handled and what maintenance or follow-up may be appropriate. Clear expectations are part of a result you can feel comfortable with.
Plan the cleanup as well as the exclusion
If the affected area also needs cleanup or insulation work, bring that into the conversation. We can discuss whether it belongs in the same project and the order in which the work should happen.
Our custom cleanup work includes attics, crawl spaces, interiors, sheds and outbuildings. Share any home-sale timeline so the proposed work and scheduling can be discussed together.
A LITTLE MORE CLARITY
Common questions
Can you close the hole right away?
First we need to understand which birds are involved and whether the space or nest is occupied. Closing an opening too early can trap birds inside. The timing is part of the assessment.
Is every exclusion job the same price or scope?
No. Access, the number and condition of openings, materials and related cleanup can differ. We discuss the work and prepare a custom bid as needed.
What if I cannot get a photo?
Describe the location and what you have noticed. Please do not climb onto a roof or approach a nest just to take a picture.
