Bird Netting Systems

​

• Bird netting is a highly effective deterrent for avian pests, providing a long term bird control solution that aims at protecting rooftops, canopies,  entire building elevations, beams, eaves, bridges and other enclosed locations that are attractive roosting spots for pest species birds.

• One key benefit of bird netting systems is that they do not affect the overall image of the building - So long as they are installed correctly. Installation of Bird Netting systems are exceptionally discreet and virtually invisible from a distance of a few meters. All bird netting installations are carried out using stainless steel fixings and securing measures to prevent corrosion against weathering and environmental defects.

• Nylon bird proofing netting is a versatile bird proofing option and is often used to protect vertical, sloping and horizontal areas from bird problems by stopping birds from getting where they shouldn't be. Most bird netting is used to protect the fascia's of buildings, but is also very effective in part-covered buildings or structures where birds are a problem. This can include under stadium roofs or warehouse canopies, on in loading bays and high-ceiling units which open to the weather

• Anti-bird netting for buildings simply stops birds getting to roosting or nesting positions, so netting can provide a useful solution as large areas can be covered easily. Fitting should be completed by qualified professionals who are experienced in installing netting solutions. All too frequently this involves working at height in difficult-to-access areas where additional machinery, such as a cherry picker, may be required. Netting installation is, by far, the best DEFRA-approved bird deterrent for agriculture and aquaculture

• There could be a number of reasons why bird netting may be the best solution for bird control. If birds need to be stopped from entering a large cavity area, like the upper roof spaces of large buildings where birds roost and nest, netting will be the best and most cost effective solution

• It’s useful where you need to stop birds entering altogether, not just stop them landing. Another key use in town and city situations is where you need to protect the fascia of an area yet still maintain the aesthetic look. It’s not as discreet as post and wire proofing for instance, but it does blend in remarkably well once fitted, and will stop bird from getting to the area completely

• We also commonly fit netting solutions on the roofs of buildings, particularly when they are causing problems around air conditioning units and the like. In this situation we sometimes suspend the nets over the area on poles that act as a suspension system

• This can be highly effective when there is no other viable solution, and is a particularly useful bird proofing solution for the tops of hotels, shops and blocks of flats. In agricultural and aquaculture situations where there is a need to stop birds getting onto crops or at stocks altogether, netting is just about the only viable long term solution, although most of our customers working in these arenas combine netting with audible scaring devices

• Another of the advantages of bird netting is that it can be used to proof against any type of bird, large or small. It’s an effective and eco-friendly bird proofing solution not just for seagulls and pigeons, but also for birds like starlings, blackbirds and sparrows, all which carry disease and can be a real pest, but which are protected while nesting. The type of birds you have problems with will govern what size of net we install.
