SOLVE THE ACTIVITY. ADDRESS THE CAUSE.
Every property and wildlife problem is different. GEN 126 starts with the visible signs, evaluates the building and affected areas, and recommends a clear plan based on the species, access, condition, and applicable rules.

SERVICES
BIRD
Bird problems require the right identification and timing. Different species, nest conditions, seasons, and locations may affect what work is appropriate. GEN 126 inspects visible activity, identifies the bird when possible, and explains the practical next step.
CONTROL
COMMON SITUATIONS
Birds entering bathroom, kitchen, dryer, attic, or soffit vents
Nests around siding, soffits, fascia, signs, rooflines, or other openings
Droppings below a vent, ledge, or nesting area
Nesting material, odor, debris, or reduced airflow
Woodpecker pecking or exterior damage
Repeat activity after a prior nest was removed
Bird activity around commercial structures

How GEN 126
May Help
From identifying the activity to helping protect the structure, we look at the full condition—not only the bird you can see.
Bird and Nest Inspection
Species Identification When Possible
Accessible Bird or Nesting Material Removal Where Legally Permitted
Cleaning and Sanitation of Accessible Affected Areas
Woodpecker Deterrence Planning
Vent, Opening, Ledge, or Structure Exclusion Recommendations
Light Repair or Specialist Referral When Required
Important service note
Some native birds, active nests, eggs, and young may be protected. The appropriate response can depend on the species and season. GEN 126 will explain what can be done legally and responsibly based on the conditions found and Scott’s current licensing scope.
Birds in vents
Birds commonly nest in exterior exhaust and structural vents. GEN 126 can inspect the opening, evaluate visible activity and accessible nesting material, and recommend removal, cleaning, and an appropriate protective cover where permitted. This is one example of Bird Control—not a separate primary service page.
WOODPECKERS CAUSING DAMAGE?
SPECIALTY BIRD CONTROL
Woodpeckers can be noisy, persistent, and surprisingly destructive. They may peck at siding, trim, fascia, cedar shakes, chimneys, gutters, and other exterior surfaces.
Sometimes they are searching for insects. Other times they may be creating a nesting space, marking their territory, or simply attracted to a certain material.
GEN 126 will inspect the activity, look for possible causes, and recommend a practical plan to help protect your property.
Woodpecker Inspection
Our inspection focuses on answering three questions:
Where is the activity happening?
What may be attracting the woodpecker?
What can be done to reduce activity and prevent more damage?
After the inspection, you’ll receive a clear action plan based on your property. No long-term service contract is required.
Prevention, Deterrence & Repair
Every property is different. Depending on what we find, your plan may include:
Humane visual or reflective deterrents
Temporary protection for affected surfaces
Sealing vulnerable openings
Repair recommendations for damaged areas
Checking for visible moisture, insects, or soft wood
Long-term prevention recommendations
🚨 A Practical Plan for Your Property
Woodpecker behavior can change with the season, weather, nearby habitat, nesting activity, and the materials used on your home. For that reason, no deterrent can guarantee that a woodpecker will never return.
Our goal is simple: identify the problem, reduce the activity, protect the affected areas, and help prevent additional damage.
Pricing depends on the location of the activity, access, property height, damage, materials, equipment, and repairs needed.
