The Benefits Of Bird Netting In Controlling Pigeon Populations

Bird netting is the most durable, longest lasting, and most effective tool in controlling a pigeon population available today.  Pigeon control is based on the notion of preventing the birds from gaining access to the places they are attempting to nest, roost, and perch.  Once a pigeon makes a structure its home, they will often remain close to that place for its entire life if left alone.  Many homeowners, as well as commercial building owners have different ideas than the pigeons, which are trying to invade a home or building.  Pigeons do not scare off easily, nor can they be removed with scents, or forms of bug sprays.  The only proven method that keeps pigeons away from a home or building is bird netting.  Bird netting is also very cost effective, long lasting, and highly durable.  Bird netting can be custom cut to fit any size opening, or space that needs protection from birds or pigeons.  Bird netting also can stand up to UV rays, fire, and all aspects of weather.

Bird netting comes in a variety of colors to match the needs of homeowner’s preferences, as well as many sizes, which can protect from small birds all the way up to large ocean birds.  The netting is lightweight making it very easy to ship and transport to a job site.  Besides being easy to move it is also easy to install with the proper training and tools a professional bird control and wildlife management company utilizes.  This could be a limitation to some who wish to act as a do-it-yourselfer, however the benefits of have bird wire professionally installed greatly outweigh the cost savings of doing it your self.

Many manufactures of bird netting will offer a ten year warranty or greater on the netting products they make available to a professional pigeon control and wildlife management company.  When a professional company is called out to bid a pigeon job they have the careful task of taking many measurements to completely protect the structure or space from birds or pigeons.  Bird netting manufactures offer professional installers the option of having custom cut netting made, as well as useful zippers installed so certain areas can still be accessed after a bird netting job is complete.

Bird netting is very a flexible and adaptable tool in controlling pigeons from the toughest jobs.  Many times a warehouse will be infested with small birds, or even pigeons.  The birds will begin nesting in the ceiling spaces and rafters.  Most large warehouses like Sam’s Club, Costco, or even Wal-Mart have tall exposed ceilings with the ventilation ducts and lighting totally exposed.  When birds or pigeons begin nesting in these places the birds are very difficult to remove.  If the birds are seeking a specific area to land, nest, and perch, then those areas must be protected.  Since bird spikes are useless in protecting large spaces, and an electric shock system would be very expensive in a huge space there has to be another method to exclude birds and pigeons from these large open places.  This is where bird netting is successful in preventing pigeons and small birds from taking over a large open space in a warehouse or large building.  The netting can be cut to fit into any space, and will provide the very best protection in controlling birds and pigeons.

A very famous place that has had great success with bird netting is Yankee stadium in New York City.  Birds and pigeons were collecting on the upper rafters and making a huge mess.  The bird netting was used to prevent the pigeons and other birds from perching.  After the netting was installed there were no more birds or pigeons in those areas.  The best part about the netting is that it is completely successful in removing birds of all sized from the places they are causing problems.  Once the netting is installed and all of the hardware is tightened there will be no need for any further maintenance.

When bird netting is installed properly there is no way for birds or pigeons to enter the protected space.  This truly acts as the most humane way of controlling a pigeon population.  There is never a case where netting will harm a bird in any way.  Once the netting is professionally installed there is virtually no maintenance required, which is a very cost effective way of solving a pigeon problem.  With great UV protection and a highly fire resistant coating all bird netting acts to exclude bird and pigeons while standing up to the elements for many years.  Whenever a bird or pigeon problem exists always consult with a professional pigeon control and wildlife expert to determine if your project will benefit from professionally installed bird netting.
