Birds can be considered a pest when they decide to roost or nest in areas where their feces and debris can be considered a hazard.ย Each year building owners and homeowners spend countless hours and money cleaning up after and repairing the damage caused by pest birds. Not only are these problems unsightly; pest birds and their feces can spread 60 plus transmittable diseases. Safety, sanitation and health hazards caused by bird droppings can pose serious liability risks, and left untreated, can lead to accidents and lawsuits. Bird feces, bird nests and debris can also create a bad public image with tenants and patrons. Individuals, companies and government agencies are tired of cleaning up bird feces or repairing the damage that is caused by pest birds and their droppings. Instead they have decided to invest in a Bird Control Solution, which is often as simple as installing bird netting.
Bird netting is used to exclude pest birds from areas such as rooftops, warehouses, airline hangars, overhangs, eaves of homes and other enclosed areas that pest birds are to be kept out of.ย Netting will provide 100% exclusion of pest birds and is a long-term bird control solution.ย Bird netting comes in several different mesh sizes ranging from ยพโ�� mesh for use with all types of birds, to 2โ�� mesh to use when larger birds like pest pigeons and seagulls are a problem.ย Netting comes in several colors as well; white, stone and black.ย Black bird netting is usually preferred because of its natural U.V. protection and lack of discoloration due to dirt and dust.ย When installed properly, the netting will be virtually invisible, not interfering with the architectural features of a building.
Choosing the right bird netting:
There are several types of bird netting available.ย There is knotted polyethylene netting that is considered long lasting and heavy duty.ย You would use this type of netting where you want a permanent solution to your bird control issues.ย Heavy-duty bird netting is usually manufactured using U.V. treated twine providing long life.ย Strength of these nets can be greater than 40 lbs. burst.ย The nets will also have a high melting point and flame resistant.ย Heavy-duty bird netting is ideal for use in warehouses, airplane hangars, canopies, overhangs and other large areas where pest birds are to be excluded.
Another type of bird netting is Polypropylene extruded plastic netting.ย This is a strong plastic bird netting used to exclude pest birds from homes and gardens. ย It is strong yet lightweight, easy to use and install.ย Plastic bird netting is often used to protect crops and orchards from pest birds.ย It is ideal to protect blueberries, fruit trees and other garden plants.ย Hanging plastic bird netting from the eaves of your home can protect it from such pest birds as swallows and woodpeckers. Plastic bird netting is not a long term netting product with about one year of usage.
Bird netting comes in different mesh sizes.ย Choosing the correct mesh size is important. ย You do not want the birds to be able to get into the netted off area and become stuck or trapped.ย For larger birds such as pigeons and seagulls you can use a 1-1/8โ�� to 2โ�� mesh size.ย For smaller birds such as sparrows and starlings use a ยพโ�� to ยฝโ�� mesh size.ย When using plastic netting to protect berries and grapes, use a ยผโ�� mesh size.ย
Installing bird netting:
Commercial installations for bird netting can get complicated depending on the size of the area to be protected and the material that the netting will be attached to.ย Netting off the infrastructure of an airplane hangar can require thousands of square feet of netting and special equipment such as lifts and power equipment to install the net.ย It is often recommended to use a professional bird control installer to get the job done correctly.ย There are bird control installers throughout the country that have experience in installing bird netting in large quantities and complicated jobs.
Installations of bird netting on your home or in your garden can easily be done yourself.ย For use in the garden you will cover your favorite plants with the plastic bird netting.ย Draping the ยผโ�� mesh plastic bird netting over fruit trees will protect the fruit from pest birds.ย It may be necessary to hire a professional to hang the netting from the eaves of our home, especially in multi-storied houses.ย

droy May 17, 2009 The exterior of our home is sided with vertical wood siding which has created a bat haven for over 30 years where they tuck under the wood.
