Bird Netting in Windsor and Maidenhead from a local company 

How can bird netting resolve our pigeon problem? 

Pigeons will seek any overhead cover that they can for protection from the weather; their natural environment are the craggy cliff faces around rivers and the coast of the Mediterranean, so anything that replicates that is ideal for these birds. 
 
The idea behind netting is that we can barrier off any size area that provides the birds with that environment. Bird netting, by its very design can be as small or as large as required; with a wide range of fittings and supports available to us, there is no restriction on how big the nets can be or how complex the arrangement. 
 
Bird netting can also be installed in any aspect, either vertical or horizontal, and when correctly fitted there is no option for the birds to return to the site so they will move away from your building to seek shelter elsewhere. 

Where can bird nets be erected? 

We can install bird nets just about anywhere, there are a wide range of perimeter fixings available that enable us to create a metal wire frame which the net is attached to, and this frame can take on any shape. 
 
We also have the option of using free standing supports that can provide a frame to cover areas like rooftops, but usually we see the demand for nets on certain features like the open face of domestic balconies where the pigeons will take over, defecating all over the base of the balcony and making a mess. 
 
Other common uses for nets are when we fit them to the undersides of loading bays where the birds will rest on the steel supports, here they defecate onto vehicles and floor below creating a hazardous working environment. 
 
Different colours of netting is available: black, clear and stone, and we can cover the entire face of a building, preventing the birds from sitting on decorative features and window ledges. This is particularly useful on older buildings where pigeon guano causes a great deal of damage to the building fabric and bird spiking has failed. 

Bird netting the ultimate pigeon solution in Maidenhead and throughout Berkshire. 

Living alongside feral pigeons is difficult and If you have had enough of the mess, the disturbance and the constant noise, then the most effective way to prevent pigeons from nesting and roosting on your property is through the installation of bird netting.  
 
Bird netting provides a physical barrier that stops the birds from flying into the nesting site or the roost if this is the case, meaning that the birds will move off the building to someplace else when they find that there is no shelter. 
 
There is a widespread lack of understanding of pigeon management and we often see the incorrect deterrent used in the wrong area, for example: we often see bird spikes employed in areas that are wholly unsuitable for their use with the result that the pigeon problem is not being managed successfully. 
 
Here at Maidenhead Pest Control, we consider that bird netting is one of the best ways to prevent birds from nesting on your property because of the total exclusion offered from the netting. Pigeons are a highly adaptable species, and we will often see rows of spikes that instead of preventing perching, the pigeons have used the open crown of spikes as a holder to base their nest upon, whereas a correctly fitted net has no percentage of failure. 
 
Pigeons are a large bird and so they need overhead cover to keep the wind and rain off their nest and any roof projection, or space under machinery and even a large ledge near a protected corner will do. When you have these structures on a building you’ve got all the right conditions to house an entire flock of pigeons and the best way to prevent this is by voiding off these spaces with bird netting.

What damage can pigeons do to the building? 

One of the main issues with pigeons is their waste material, an adult bird produces almost a kilogram of guano each month and this is highly acidic, slowly eating away at the surface sits covers. 
 
The other problem with their waste is that it will block gutters and rainwater downpipes, along with their faeces you’ll have nesting material, feathers, egg shells and even dead birds also adding to the debris and this can lead to water penetration and further damage. 
 
The acid in the droppings and the water runoff issues can lead to major structural damage and this is the hidden cost of living with a flock of pigeons, in the longer term you are going to pay far more than the cost of the actual bird deterrent. 
Pigeons
A bird net installed from Maidenhead Pest Control will last for around ten years and we guarantee all our installations as long as the net isn’t cut by contractors, once installed, these nets will go on working, keeping pigeons off your building, day after day for many years. 
To avoid problems when contractors cut through the net, we build in access into the void with the use of zips and create ‘doors’ to allow entry, this is particularly useful when covering roof top machinery. 
 
We have over 19 years’ experience in general pest control and providing bird control services throughout Berkshire and parts of West London, our technicians are fully trained, and they hold IPAF qualifications to hire and use hydraulic access equipment for safe access to difficult to reach areas.
