Why Townsend homes get birds

Homes on slab foundations, with crawl spaces, or near the Delaware Bay, the Atlantic Ocean, and tidal creeks see the heaviest pressure.

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

Q: Why do the birds keep coming back?

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

Q: Do you clean up the droppings too?

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