Getting rid of pigeons can be a very hard task but with the different control measures the task can be done effectively. Pigeons can be a pest and can bring diseases to the home or any public place. Pigeon netting is one of the ways in which a homeowner can get rid of pigeons. There are quite a number of pigeon netting manufacturers who avail them in different sizes and designs.
Most of the pigeon nettings are manufactured using industry standard, long lasting, knotted polyethylene twine which is Ultraviolet resistant. They are available in standard colors such as black, stone and translucent though other colors can be made available as per client’s special order. Like pigeon spikes that deter pigeons, the pigeon netting can be used in different locations such as the gazebos, windows, bell towers, vineyard, food courts, greenhouses, landscaping and other areas. The buyers can select the color they like depending in the location of the netting.
There are two types of pigeon netting to choose from, premium and lightweight. When selecting pigeon netting, the client can select between the two depending on the requirements. Premium is tough, resilient and made especially for external installations while lightweight are best for places where there is low visibility and for those to whom economy is more important than durability.
Before installing the netting, the user needs to identify all the places that the pigeons land, roost and nest as well as the entry and exit routes of the birds. This will guide the user on how much netting and what type to purchase. Some of the areas may need less visible nettings as compared to the others. The netting should be large enough to enclose the problem or completely seal off the routes used by the pigeons. They should also remember to keep the netting from damaging conditions such as moving objects or high heat.
The buyer should take accurate measurements. They are advised against taking estimates on square footage as is rarely accurate. They must ensure that they take into account the changes in elevations, locations of other structures such as beams. Pipes and joists as these could serve as support for the netting. Most manufacturers provide coverage size estimates and the amount of netting required as well as the price. Select the one that best fits your situation. After considering all these, it is time for the client to select the hardware accessories that are needed for the installation. Ensure that they are long lasting and easy to install.
