Bird Problem:  Yosemite College had several buildings that swallows returned to nest on every year.  Tired of the hassles of cleaning up the mess the swallows made with their droppings and nesting materials, the college turned to Bird Solutions to install a swallow control product that would prevent the swallows from building their nests in the first place.  The timing of the installation was important because swallows are afforded protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, the swallow exclusion and nest removal had to be done after the birds left their nests for the year.

Bird Control Product Solution:  After waiting for the birds to leave on their southern migration, the old nests were removed, the area was thoroughly cleaned and the Bird Solutions bird control team installed a swallow deterrent called BirdSlide.  The Bird Slide swallow control product is designed for high visibility areas to blend almost invisibly with the structure of the building.  Because it cuts off the corner angle where the swallows like to build their nests, BirdSlide provides very effective swallow control on a permanent low-visibility basis.  As you can see from the pictures, the BirdSlide swallow control product almost looks like it is part of the natural architecture (grey area under eave). BirdSlide can also be painted to match the building completely.
