Serving properties across NYC and Long Island, our work emphasizes reliability, precision, and lasting results. Each program combines proven exclusion systems with humane reduction methods to resolve active pressures and help prevent recurrence.

Our team delivers cost-effective, measurable outcomes that protect structures, preserve appearance, and earn lasting confidence in the results.

  • Stainless-Steel Bird Spikes

    A humane and durable deterrent that stops birds from landing or roosting on surfaces. Crafted from stainless steel, these angled rods make perching uncomfortable without harming the birds. Installed on ledges, beams, and signage, they protect against droppings, nesting, and costly deterioration. Low-profile and discreet, spikes preserve your property’s appearance while providing long-lasting defense. This deterrent is part of our bird control services across New York City and Long Island.
  • Bird Netting for Bird Control Services

    A highly effective exclusion method that creates a permanent barrier, blocking birds from protected spaces. Installed with stainless-steel cables and mounting hardware, the netting is strong, weather-resistant, and nearly invisible once in place. Bird netting is ideal for balconies, warehouses, and loading docks where pest birds often roost. By denying access to favored sites, netting prevents nesting, reduces maintenance needs, and provides long-term property protection. Bird netting is a core component of our bird control services in New York City.
  • Apartment Balcony Bird Control

    A dedicated service for apartment, condo, and co-op balconies, combining humane cleaning, sanitizing, and bird-netting installations to eliminate nesting and roosting activity and restore outdoor living spaces. Each solution is tailored to the property’s design and management requirements, ensuring a discreet, compliant, and long-lasting finish. Ideal for residential buildings across NYC and Long Island, this program keeps balconies safe, clean, and enjoyable for residents. This program is included in our residential bird control services throughout NYC and Long Island.
  • Optical Gel Disks

    A modern multi-sensory deterrent that repels birds through sight, smell, and touch:
    • Sight: Disks produce a fire-like visual effect, which birds instinctively perceive as dangerous and avoid.
    • Smell: Natural citronella and peppermint oils create an avian-safe but unpleasant scent, making the area inhospitable. Optical Gel Disks are non-toxic, eco-friendly, safe for people, and safe for the birds themselves.
    • Touch: The sticky texture reinforces avoidance if contact occurs, discouraging repeat visits.

    Optical Gel Disks are discreet, long-lasting, and an excellent choice for ledges, rooftop equipment, and other areas requiring a low-profile deterrent. Optical Gel is deployed as part of our humane bird control services in New York City.

  • Electric Track for Bird Control Services

    A discreet, low-profile deterrent system that delivers a brief, harmless micro-pulse to condition birds to avoid protected surfaces. Engineered for long-term performance, it preserves the architectural appearance of parapets, beams, signage, and ledges while preventing roosting and nesting activity. Constructed from UV-stabilized materials and stainless-steel braid, it blends seamlessly with surrounding structures. Installed by licensed professionals, this system meets humane bird-control standards and is suitable for most commercial and multi-residential applications. Electric track systems are installed as part of our commercial bird control services in NYC.
  • Solar Panel Exclusion for Bird Control Services

    A non-invasive exclusion system that blocks birds and rodents from the space beneath solar arrays, protecting the roof, wiring, and equipment while preserving efficiency. The discreet ½-inch PVC-coated mesh allows proper airflow and installs quickly with clip mounts for easy removal during maintenance. This system provides lasting protection against pest damage without drilling or voiding panel warranties, helping extend the life of your solar investment. This solution is included in our bird control services for solar arrays across New York City and Long Island.
  • Humane Flock Reduction

    Our humane flock-reduction services are performed by licensed NWCO professionals using methods that are safe, compliant, and ethically responsible. Each program is structured to address active pigeon pressures through pre-baiting, live capture, and scheduled service visits, carried out with discreetly placed and properly maintained equipment. All handling practices meet recognized humane standards, ensuring the welfare of the birds throughout the process. This disciplined approach provides meaningful relief from ongoing bird activity and supports lasting prevention when combined with exclusion systems such as spikes, netting, or track solutions. Flock reduction is offered as part of our humane bird control services in New York City.

COMMON PEST BIRDS

Feral Pigeon:

An inherently social bird, pigeons thrive alongside people, relying on human activity for food and shelter. Because of this, they are a constant presence in public spaces and rarely deterred by our proximity. Typically just over a foot tall, pigeons have grayish bodies with stark red feet and claws. They reproduce rapidly, with females capable of producing a dozen offspring per year and incubation lasting less than a month. This accelerated breeding cycle means infestations can escalate quickly, especially when multiple nesting sites are available. Unlike migratory birds, pigeons are persistent and will remain at a nesting site for months even after exclusion attempts. Also known as rock doves or homing pigeons, they are carriers of parasites and infectious diseases such as histoplasmosis and salmonellosis, posing risks wherever they congregate. A single pigeon can produce up to 25 pounds of acidic droppings annually, which corrode roofing, ventilation systems, and building facades, adding significant maintenance costs. Because pigeons are considered invasive and non-native, they are not protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, allowing for humane but effective control methods. The Ex-Terminators develops programs that disrupt breeding cycles, reduce populations, and implement long-term deterrents to safeguard properties from recurrence.

House Sparrows:

Introduced from Great Britain, house sparrows are an invasive species also known as English sparrows or “flying mice” due to their adaptability. Small in size at just six inches tall, they are identified by their brownish body, cream-colored chest, and black markings. Sparrows are aggressive nesters, often displacing native birds and creating ecological disruption. Females can produce up to 28 offspring per year with incubation lasting only two weeks, allowing infestations to spread quickly. Their small size enables them to infiltrate buildings through unnoticed gaps and openings, often settling in hard-to-reach areas. Once established, they rarely leave, adapting by feeding on food waste and drinking from sources like A/C pans or floor machines. Their bulky nests, frequently built near breaker boxes or electrical panels, can pose a fire hazard and block ventilation systems, creating safety concerns and costly repairs. Because house sparrows are invasive and non-native, they too are exempt from federal protections, permitting targeted removal. The Ex-Terminators designs sparrow-specific strategies that address these risks while providing humane and compliant outcomes for property managers.

European Starlings:

Recognized by their glossy black feathers speckled with white spots, starlings are medium-sized birds that have become one of the most disruptive non-native species in North America. Extremely vocal, they create loud, high-pitched calls and form large roosting flocks that quickly overwhelm properties. Their droppings are corrosive, accelerating deterioration of signage, rooftop equipment, and facades, while also posing health risks from fungal spores and bacteria. Starlings frequently travel long distances, increasing the spread of parasites and diseases such as toxoplasmosis, blastomycosis, and other infections. Their feeding habits also impact agriculture, consuming fruits, grains, and livestock feed, while contributing to the spread of livestock-related illnesses. When large flocks establish a roost, cleanup is challenging and recurring, with nesting debris and waste accumulating rapidly. Because starlings are invasive and not federally protected, control measures can be applied where warranted. The Ex-Terminators uses strategic, professional techniques to manage starling populations, minimize property damage, and restore healthier, safer environments for clients.

Every property faces unique risks from pest birds, ranging from unsightly droppings and blocked drains to corrosion of roofs, signage, and HVAC systems. The Ex-Terminators designs custom programs that combine humane flock reduction with proven deterrents to deliver lasting protection. Our solutions safeguard your investment, improve property appearance, and maintain a cleaner, safer environment for tenants, employees, and visitors. Contact us today and take the first step toward effective bird control. Serving property managers across NYC and Long Island with humane, compliant bird control services in New York City and Long Island.

OvoControl
Pigeon Birth Control
NYC & Long Island

OvoControl is a humane, non-lethal reproductive control bait designed specifically for managing pigeon populations at commercial and industrial properties. Dispensed once daily from an automated rooftop feeder, it prevents egg fertilization and gradually reduces flock size through natural attrition. OvoControl is best suited for large rooftops, warehouses, transit facilities, refineries, and sites where pigeons reliably congregate.

When combined with proper sanitation and supported by other exclusion or deterrent systems—such as Bird Netting, Optical Gel disks, or other targeted bird control services—OvoControl provides a stable, measurable reduction in flock size over time. This long-term method is scientifically validated, compliant, and ideal for facilities seeking predictable, non-disruptive population management.

The Ex-Terminators delivers OvoControl as part of our managed population programs throughout New York City and Long Island. Each property is evaluated to determine suitability, feeder placement, access requirements, and ongoing monitoring protocols before recommending this solution.
