Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are the deterrents harmful to the birds?
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.

Spikes run $200 to $600 in Calais, with netting from $500 to $2,000 depending on the area. The inspection is $100 to $250 and covers the assessment.
Q: What birds cause the problems in Calais?
Pigeons and European starlings are the most common roosting and nesting birds in Washington, gathering on the ledges, the signs, and the rooflines of commercial and older buildings.
