Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What birds cause the problems in Athena?
Pigeons and European starlings are the most common roosting and nesting birds in Umatilla, gathering on the ledges, the signs, and the rooflines of commercial and older buildings.
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.
