Pigeons and European starlings are the most common roosting and nesting birds in Knox, 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.

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