Bird netting is a simplistic but effective form of bird proofing. It forms a physical barrier between potential roosting areas and any pest birds in the area.
When our bird netting Edinburgh technicians arrive, they will identify key areas of bird activity and install appropriate netting in appropriate locations, limiting where birds can access and land.
Birds attempting to settle on the property will grow frustrated with the netting and, with a complete lack of safe and secure areas to make their home, will journey elsewhere to find a more suitable place for habitation.
Benefits of Bird Netting
Versatile
Netting is used so commonly as it is so incredibly versatile. It can be utilised in commercial premises, historic sites, residential complexes, factories, bridges, industrial settings and many more. No matter what other methods and materials we employ in a bird proofing programme, netting usually plays a role to some degree.
Discreet
When installed professionally by our bird netting Edinburgh team, the mesh we utilise for bird control is very subtle and virtually invisible from even short distances. While the grid pattern can vary depending on what birds in the area need to be combatted, even the densest mesh is difficult to spot from only a few metres away.
Effective
Arguably the most important attribute of this deterrent is that it is effective. Regardless of what pest bird species you are dealing with, we can pick a grid pattern which will effectively stop birds from roosting on your property.
Robust
Weathering effects do not phase our quality nylon material which can withstand anything from harsh sun to intense blizzards.
Harmless
Our bird netting Edinburgh team operates in full compliance with all relevant legislation and BPCA standards. The mesh we employ is entirely harmless to birds, acting as a physical barrier and nothing more.
Agriculture-Friendly
Most bird proofing solutions require physical structures to attach to. This presents a number of problems in the agricultural industry. Netting, however, can be used to protect crops where other techniques would not work.
Cost-Effective
Netting is not technologically advanced, difficult to produce, or expensive to install. As a result, our bird netting Edinburgh office can pass these savings on to you, accommodating even the most modest budgets.
How Long Will It Remain Effective?
There are a number of factors you have to consider when predicting how long bird netting will survive. For example, all of the following can affect its lifespan:
- Quality of the product used.
- Where the netting is located.
- Skill with which it is installed.
However, when you employ the services of our bird netting Edinburgh technicians, you can expect your deterrent to boast a lifespan of around a decade, give or take a couple of years depending on the circumstances.
What Species Will Netting Combat
Meshing comes in all different shapes, sizes, and patterns. As such, it can be used to address all species of bird.
When our sales representative visits your property for your initial survey and risk assessment, they will determine what type of birds are causing problems. By examining the site in question, and observing which species are around, we can develop a plan accordingly.
Of the countless species which can be limited by netting, here are just a few:
- Feral Pigeons
- Urban Gulls
- Starlings
- Canada Geese
- Magpies
- Sparrows
- Crows
As a side note, our bird control Edinburgh technicians will also accommodate the need for pollination in agricultural settings. While netting can be utilised to protect crops from feeding birds, it will be wide enough that bees can still access the crops and continue to carry out their job.
Where Should Bird Netting Be Installed
The unique set of attributes which bird netting offers makes it a fantastic choice in a wide variety of situations.
When it is important to maintain the aesthetics of a building, netting can prove very useful. It is difficult to spot from even short distances, and our bird netting Edinburgh team is proficient at installing it in the most subtle way possible.
Structures with complicated dimensions present a number of challenges for bird proofers, and netting is a vital tool in overcoming this. From bridges and statues to industrial complexes and elaborate building facades, mesh can be implemented to form a critical defence against pest birds.
Finally, this form of deterrent will allow even businesses with tight budgets to receive effective bird control. Our pest control Edinburgh technicians are also incredibly skilled and conscientious, making sure the installation realises its full potential, extending its lifespan even more robust and cost-effective.
Bird Control Legislation
All birds within the UK are protected by legislation, and simply killing them where other options are available is highly unethical and illegal. Instead, we have to employ proofing techniques which are both harmless to birds and environmentally responsible.
