Pigeons in Bangalore are such a familiar part of the landscape that most people are laid back about their presence. Which is all well and good if you’re a tourist out to get the perfect snapshot, but for Bangalore residents and business owners, pigeons can spell trouble. If pigeons decide to roost on your property, then they are far too close for comfort.
Pigeons will gladly settle on any available roof, gutter, balcony, or even in a drain. Not to mention that they are carriers of nasty diseases, so their droppings are potentially hazardous. For commercial property owners, pigeons are an unsightly health and safety nightmare, that may prove bad for business.
Well, take a look at the following passages for bird prevention tips.
What is bird netting?
Bird or pigeon netting is a method of bird proofing that deters pigeons and other pest birds from perching and nesting on buildings. It is widely used in urban areas such as Bangalore and provides a long term, effective bird control solution.
Bird netting comes in all shapes, colours, and sizes and is typically made from polyethylene wire, a highly durable material that can be fireproofed if necessary. It is weather and UV proof and comes in a range of mesh gauges depending on the species of bird or birds it is required to deter. It is stretched to create a tense barrier and is held in place with high-quality steel fittings.
Netting can be fixed to roofs, fascias, ledges, eaves, and chimneys to form an impenetrable barrier to pigeons and other pest birds.
Is bird netting effective?
Bird netting creates a taut mesh barrier to deter pigeons from perching on buildings, particularly on roofs. It is also used at entry points to buildings to stop pigeons from getting in. The use of bird netting in Bangalore is so ubiquitous that pigeons and other birds come to instinctively avoid it. A pigeon will find it almost impossible to land on netting, and although they are persistent creatures, Bangalore and other urban areas offer such a vast array of alternatives that they will soon give up.
It is important to note that bird netting is a deterrent method of pest control and can’t be used to deal with an existing pigeon infestation. Project Pest Control offers a wide range of humane pest control services to rid your property of pigeons, including our preferred method of falconry.
Residential & Commercial Solar Panel Pigeon Control
Solar panelling is a fantastic way for people to decrease their energy bills, and reduce their carbon footprint. They are one of the best investments you can make, not only for reducing your own outgoings but also for selling excess electricity back to the grid.
But, an unwelcome stay from some nuisance birds, will not only reduce the running efficiency of your solar panels but can cause higher maintenance costs over time.
