Why Hillsborough homes get birds
The setting around Hillsborough does most of the work. The sandy loam and clay holds the moisture the pests need, the coastlines, valleys, and mountain ranges offers shelter, and the Mediterranean to desert climate extends the active season. The homes near the the Pacific Ocean, the Sacramento River, and Sierra-fed rivers and the ones on the older streets with mature trees see the heaviest pressure, and the newer construction brings its own set of conditions.

Birds return to an established roost until the surface is made unusable. The proofing removes the roosting site, which is what breaks the habit.

Yes. We remove the droppings and sanitize the area as part of the service, because the accumulation is a health and maintenance issue.

Q: What birds cause the problems in Hillsborough?
Pigeons and European starlings are the most common roosting and nesting birds in San Mateo, gathering on the ledges, the signs, and the rooflines of commercial and older buildings.

No. The spikes, netting, and wires make the surfaces unusable without harming the birds. The goal is to redirect them to a different roost.
