Bird Deterrents

If you need to exclude pest birds from areas such as loading docks, warehouses, garages and even airport hangers, bird netting is the one sure way to completely exclude the pest bird.  When installed correctly, bird netting is virtually invisible to the naked eye.  Bird netting will not create a visual distraction for customers or employees.  Bird netting is the visual barrier that is a distraction to the pest bird.  The netting causes confusion and frustration to the bird which in turn gets rid of the bird when they fly away to find another spot to roost. 

Bird netting has many advantages.  By keeping pest birds away from your building, not only are they an eye sore to look at, but they can actually be the cause of eye sore.  Ocular Histoplasmosis is a fungal eye infection that eats away at the eyeball.  It is only one of over sixty diseases that birds can transfer to humans.   Ocular Histoplasmosis is transmitted to humans when the bird droppings are allowed to accumulate, dry out and turn to dust.  The dust then becomes airborne and gets into the mucus membranes of the eye unknowingly.  Other potentially fatal illnesses like E. coli, salmonella and respiratory Histoplasmosis also come from bird droppings. Business should not take pest bird infestation casually.  There is very little cost involved to secure the buildings and areas that can be controlled by bird netting compared to the cost to the company when a customer or employee comes in contact with one of the 60 diseases.  Installation of bird netting could simply put an end to any health worries associated with the pest bird.

Another advantage to bird netting is it is abiding by the law.  A bird net is a humane way to get rid of the pest birds.  Bird netting does not harm the bird in any way.  It is illegal to kill most types of birds, especially using pesticides for bird control.  It is important to know when it is safe to remove nests and other materials as well.  Removing breeding birds leaves the babies to die in the building which attracts more parasites and disease.  Humane bird control using products such as a bird net is essential.

Bird netting is one of the more versatile forms of bird control.  It can be used in large open areas or secured to keep pest birds out of small intricate openings where the pest bird tries to hide from its predators.  It is light weight and easy to install.  Good bird netting is long lasting and U.V. protected.  It is also a great bird control product that protects vegetable gardens, blueberry bushes and even grape vines.  Its various mesh sizes protects against many species of birds.

For businesses where large areas are in need of bird netting, it would be wise to consult with a professional bird control installer.  If the netting is not installed properly, sagging and drooping netting leaves gaps for pest birds to get through.  When this happens, it is as if no netting has even been installed.  Alleviating all risks associated with the pest bird is the ultimate goal.
