Serving Greater Boston and RI Since 1978
Buono Pest Control brings bird control to Boston-area homes from its base in Belmont, where the company was founded in 1978. Our bird exclusion keeps birds out of vents, eaves, soffits and porches by closing access rather than removing birds. Request a free estimate for your home.
Birds settle on a house because it offers shelter, a ledge to roost on or an opening to nest in. Blocking those spots addresses the cause, while chasing birds away leaves the spots open. Pigeons can be kept out of buildings by blocking access to their roosts and nesting areas, sometimes with little effort. Bird control built on exclusion therefore starts with a careful look at how birds use the structure. Buono Pest Control provides bird pest control through exclusion only, in line with the company’s Integrated Pest Management practice, in place since 1982. We do not remove birds from the property.
Every bird exclusion job follows four steps, and each step focuses on access points rather than on the birds themselves.
We note which birds are present, where they roost and nest, and which vents, eaves, soffits or ledges give them access to the house.
The plan lists each access point, the exclusion work it needs and the order of work, so you see the scope before work starts.
Exclusion work closes the openings and covers the ledges birds use, matched to the materials and design of your house.
After the work, we check that birds are no longer reaching the closed areas and point out any new spots worth watching.
Do you know Buono Pest Control? We have been family-owned and operated since 1978. Our licensed technicians inspect first, explain what they find, and respond quickly with the right plan. Service comes before sales.
Droppings below a ledge, nesting material at a vent and birds entering the same gap each evening show where exclusion is needed. We map these spots before recommending work.
Buono Pest Control provides bird control through exclusion only. We do not remove birds or offer bird removal; instead, we close the access that makes your home attractive to them.
Open vents, gaps in soffits and damaged trim give birds a sheltered place to nest. Sealing these openings with suitable materials keeps birds outside the structure.
Exclusion only works when every access point is closed. A trained technician finds the openings homeowners miss, often high on the house, and reaches them safely.

Our exclusion work draws on construction experience within the Buono family, and our licensed technicians bring that skill to Belmont and Boston-area homes. Bird problems are solved at the structure, so we close access points carefully and explain each one when the work is complete.
Bird exclusion for Belmont homes covers the places birds commonly use: dryer and bathroom vents, gaps in soffits, eaves and porch ceilings. Our bird control services start with an inspection from a Belmont-based team, followed by exclusion work that closes access without removing the birds. Every visit starts with one question: how are birds getting access? Homeowners get a clear explanation of each access point and the work it needs before anything begins.
Bird exclusion and bird repellents take different approaches to the same problem. Exclusion physically blocks birds from roosting and nesting areas. Repellents and deterrents try to make an area unpleasant or frightening, while the access itself stays open.
Here is how the two approaches compare for pigeons:
That comparison explains why Buono Pest Control works through exclusion. A bird deterrent placed near an open vent leaves the vent open, and exclusion closes it. Our technicians identify where birds enter or roost and close those spots, so the birds look for shelter elsewhere.
Repellents also need repeated attention, because every treated surface has to stay covered for the product to work. Exclusion changes the structure instead of trying to change the birds’ behavior, which removes that cycle of reapplication. Exclusion work is also easy to check. Homeowners can see each closed vent or covered ledge and know exactly what was done.
Buono Pest Control does not apply bird repellents or sell deterrent products. The company’s approach to birds is exclusion only, consistent with the Integrated Pest Management system it has followed since 1982. For homeowners, that means one clear method tied to the house itself, explained before the work starts.
This section covers three areas where birds commonly settle on a house: vents, eaves and porches. Each one offers shelter, and each one calls for a slightly different exclusion approach.
Vents. Dryer, bathroom and kitchen vents offer warmth and a sheltered opening. Nesting material packed inside a vent can block airflow, and droppings collect on siding and walkways below the opening. Exclusion keeps birds out of the vent while leaving it able to do its job. Vent covers must keep air moving, so the exclusion material is chosen to fit each vent type.
Eaves and soffits. Gaps where a soffit meets the wall, or where trim has pulled away, give birds a dry cavity for nesting. Clearing nesting material without closing the gap leaves the cavity available, so closing the gap is the priority.
Porches. Porch ceilings, beams and light fixtures provide ledges protected from rain and wind. Droppings collect on railings, steps and furniture below, which makes the porch less pleasant to use.
For each area, exclusion means closing or covering the specific spot birds rely on. Our team inspects all three before recommending work, because closing one spot can push birds to the next.
Buono Pest Control is based in Belmont and serves Greater Boston, so homeowners looking for bird control in Boston and nearby communities work with the same local, family-owned team. Every job begins with the same careful inspection, whatever the town. Homeowners can help between visits by keeping birdseed and pet food off the porch and cleaning droppings promptly, so the area stays less attractive.
Keep birds away from your house by closing the places they use. Pigeons, for example, can be excluded from buildings by blocking access to roosts and nesting areas. For most homes, that means covering vents, sealing gaps in eaves and soffits, and limiting ledges. Exclusion addresses the cause, while scare devices leave the access open.
Fake owls rarely solve a bird problem. Owl models, like revolving lights, flags, balloons and rubber snakes, have little or no effect on pigeons. Birds return to a roost or nesting spot that stays open. Closing the access point is what stops birds from using the spot, which is why our bird work relies on exclusion.
Closing the access birds depend on works better over time than spraying surfaces, which is why Buono Pest Control’s bird work is exclusion only. Sticky repellent products exist, but every roosting surface in the area must be treated or pigeons shift to untreated surfaces, and those products usually lose effectiveness over time. Exclusion avoids that cycle, since there is no surface to keep treating.
Keep birds away from a porch by removing the sheltered ledges and openings they use. Porch ceilings, beams, light fixtures and gaps above columns give birds protected places to roost and nest. Closing gaps and covering ledges with suitable exclusion materials makes the porch far less useful to them. Cleaning droppings promptly also keeps the area from drawing birds back to the same spot.
Bird exclusion closes the openings and ledges birds use on a house, so they have to look for shelter elsewhere. A technician first identifies where birds roost and nest, such as dryer vents, soffit gaps or porch beams. The plan then lists each access point and the exclusion materials suited to it, chosen so vents keep moving air. Once the work is done, the technician walks you through each closed spot.
