Flickers hammering holes in the stucco. Swallows mudding nests over the front porch. Pigeons claiming the parapet and fouling the sidewalk, the sign, and the cars below. Starlings in the dryer vents. Birds don't respond to spray-and-pray pest control — they respond to smart exclusion and deterrents installed in the right places. That's a design problem, and it's exactly what we do.
From stucco homes on the bench to downtown parapets and warehouse bays, Wasatch Front buildings give birds everything they want. Here's what shows up most.
Northern flickers drill nesting cavities straight through stucco and EIFS — especially on two-story homes along the bench — and they come back to the same walls every season. We combine targeted deterrents with exclusion at the damage sites to break the cycle before the repairs get expensive.
Parapets, ledges, signage, awnings, and rooftop equipment give pigeons everything they want — and warehouses and parking structures give them shelter by the hundreds. Droppings foul entryways, sidewalks, and merchandise below. Ledge deterrents, netting, and exclusion make the real estate unusable so the flock relocates.
Cliff swallows return to the same eaves year after year and build entire colonies of mud nests. They're federally protected while nesting — timing and method matter. We handle it legally: deterrents and exclusion installed in the right window so next spring's colony builds somewhere else.
Starlings and house sparrows love dryer, bathroom, and attic vents — you'll hear the scratching before you see them. Nesting material in a vent line is a fire risk and blocks airflow. We evict the birds and screen every vent so it can't happen again.

The right answer depends on the species, the structure, the height, the materials, and what the birds are actually there for. Netting a warehouse bay, screening forty vents on an apartment building, and stopping one determined flicker on a stucco two-story are three completely different jobs.
That's why we don't post prices: we'd either be guessing high or guessing low. We look at the building, design the fix, and hand you one clear proposal — exclusion done right, so you're not paying for the same problem every year.
Effective bird control starts with understanding the animal — what it eats, where it nests, why it picked your building. Every Falcon bird program is designed by Trent Frazer, BCE, and built to work with the biology instead of against it.
Falcon Pest Control provides bird control across the Wasatch Front — Salt Lake City, Sandy, Draper, South Jordan, Lehi, Provo, Orem, and surrounding cities. Flickers drilling stucco, pigeons on parapets and warehouses, swallow nests, and birds in vents. Programs are designed by a Board Certified Entomologist and quoted after a free site assessment.

Northern flickers drill nesting cavities in stucco and EIFS — especially upper-story walls — and return to the same spots every season. Lasting control combines deterrents with exclusion at the damage sites, installed where the birds actually work. It starts with an on-site assessment.
Make the real estate unusable: ledge deterrents, netting, and exclusion on the parapets, signage, and rooftop equipment the flock is using. Droppings on entryways and sidewalks are a daily cleaning cost and a slip hazard — exclusion ends it structurally rather than treating it monthly.
It's a custom installation project — cost depends on species, structure, height, and scope. Falcon quotes after a free site assessment with a single clear proposal; there are no posted flat rates because exclusion work can't be honestly priced sight unseen.
