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.

Pigeons and European starlings are the most common roosting and nesting birds in Amherst, gathering on the ledges, the signs, and the rooflines of commercial and older buildings.
