A note from the owner
My name is the guarantee.
Bird control done right, on time, and at a fair price.
I started Lakeview because the national pest-control chains treat a bird problem like a service ticket — a rotating tech, a few spikes glued on from a ladder, and no one who owns whether the birds actually leave. They're gone for a week, the droppings come back, and you're calling a 1-800 number again. That's not how I run it.
When you call, you reach an owner who can come look at your home and decide on the spot. That's why we get a site visit on the calendar the same week and stand behind an On-Time Guarantee the franchises won't make: we arrive in your window, or it's $100 off — because the person making the promise is the person who shows up to keep it.
And I'm on the estimate myself, and I check the install before the invoice goes out — every length of net, every spike, every gap sealed. The last set of eyes on the work is the same name that guarantees the birds stay off it.

Done right
The owner looks at the problem and checks the finished install in person — every ledge, net seam, and sealed gap — before it's signed off.
Same-day, same-week
An owner makes the call on the spot and gets your site visit on the calendar the same week — not a ticket routed through a national call center.
A fairer price
No franchise royalty and no national overhead marked up into your estimate.
What We Handle
Where we keep the birds out
We match the system to the spot, the bird, and the look of your home — not a product off a shelf.
The Cost of Waiting
Why homeowners don’t wait
Left alone, a few birds become a colony — and the mess and damage only get bigger.
Common Culprits
Who’s moved in?
Different pests leave different clues. The promise is the same: humane, lasting exclusion with netting, spikes, and wire — never poisons or traps.
Pigeons
The classic squatter on ledges, soffits, and balcony rails. Cooing at dawn and droppings down the siding are the giveaways — and pigeon guano is acidic enough to etch paint, masonry, and railings.
Starlings
Cavity nesters that squeeze into dryer vents, bathroom vents, and soffit gaps. Chatter inside a vent means a nest is already in place, trapping moisture and debris where neither belongs.
Squirrels
The most expensive guest. Squirrels gnaw through fascia and soffits to reach the attic, then keep chewing — insulation, framing, and wiring, a genuine fire risk over your home. Scampering in the walls at dawn or dusk means it is time to look.
Swallows
Mud-cup nests tucked under eaves and porch ceilings, with a growing mess on whatever sits below. Active nests are federally protected, so timing matters — we deter and exclude the humane, legal way.
Grackles
Loud, social, and messy. Grackles descend in flocks, pack into soffit lines and gutter runs, and leave the decks and cars below needing a wash. Exclusion breaks the roosting habit for good.
Woodpeckers
That drumming at sunrise is real damage: nesting holes and feeding pits in cedar siding, trim, and fascia. Woodpeckers are federally protected, so the fix is humane deterrence and exclusion — before the holes multiply.
Seagulls
Up to four pounds of bird, back every April: screaming at first light, diving by June, guano eating the flashing. Federally protected, so we exclude, never harm, and they do not come back.
Our Standard
Why homeowners choose Lakeview
The same owner-led, high-reach standard our commercial clients rely on — brought home, with humane methods and the care your house deserves.
Humane Exclusion That Actually Lasts
We keep birds off the humane way — netting, spikes, and wire that physically exclude them, not poisons or traps. Installed to last and sized to your home, so it protects the look of the house instead of looking improvised.
Safe High-Reach — Not You on a Ladder
Second-story balconies, steep roofs, and tall eaves are no place for a homeowner on a ladder. We're OSHA-trained, fall-protection-certified high-reach specialists with the gear to do it safely.
We Clean Up the Mess, Too
We don't just keep them off — we remove the nests, droppings, and debris they left behind and disinfect the area, so you're not the one dealing with the cleanup.
Owner-Led, and Careful With Your Home
You work directly with the owner — licensed, insured, and respectful of your property. One person accountable from the estimate to the final walk-through.
