One of the most common tools used for integrated bird management involves keeping birds out of an area through netting, screening, or other physical sealing of an area. Bird netting can provide an immediate, effective, and discreet solution to eliminate bird problems. Our nets are designed to provide 100% exclusion of birds and are a great option for bird nest removal in hard-to-reach spaces.
Bird netting can include excluding equipment, such as HVAC units, through constructing screening that allows the equipment to function properly while keeping birds off of the equipment. Our nets aim to prevent birds from roosting and nesting in areas that could provide a “home” for a large number of birds.
Bird netting is a versatile solution that can be fitted in many areas to prevent birds from accessing potential roosting and nesting spots. Some common areas include:
Bird netting acts as a humane, physical barrier that prevents birds from accessing specific areas without trapping or harming them. By blocking off common roosting and nesting sites, bird netting helps discourage birds from returning.
By keeping birds away, netting also limits the contamination and damage caused by droppings and feathers in sensitive spaces like food storage areas, commercial sites, and agricultural fields.
Made from durable, weather-resistant materials, high-quality bird netting offers sustainable, low-maintenance protection with minimal environmental impact.
Importantly, bird netting is a humane deterrent, keeping birds at bay without causing harm or distress.

While bird netting is effective, it has some drawbacks. It requires professional installation to ensure durability and proper coverage, as poorly installed netting may sag or leave gaps, reducing effectiveness. Over time, exposure to harsh weather can degrade the netting, requiring maintenance or replacement. Bird netting may also need cleaning to prevent debris buildup.
Alternatives to bird netting include visual deterrents like reflective tape, predator decoys, and sound deterrents, such as high-frequency devices, to scare birds away. Bird spikes and electric track systems are also commonly used to keep birds from perching on ledges, roofs, or other surfaces. These solutions can be effective depending on specific needs and site conditions.

The mesh size needed depends on the bird species. Typically, 19mm (¾ inch) mesh is effective for small birds like sparrows, while 50mm (2-inch) mesh is sufficient for larger birds like pigeons. Smaller mesh sizes ensure that birds can’t slip through, providing a secure barrier in areas with mixed bird populations.
Black bird netting is generally preferred as it blends well with surroundings and is less visible, which reduces visual disruption. Black netting is also more UV-resistant, offering longer-lasting durability. White netting is sometimes used for agricultural settings, as it’s more visible to humans, but it can stand out more and may weather more quickly in certain environments.
