How do I know what type of Bird Netting to install?

The primary purpose of bird netting is to exclude pest birds from an area while at the same time being as invisible as possible. Modern technology has allowed netting manufactures the ability to design nets that are long lasting, strong and can be made to cover small and large openings. Bird netting is used to keep a variety of pest birds out of any enclosed or semi-enclosed area. That is why it is important to select the proper bird netting to match your problem bird.


Selecting the style of Bird Netting
 
The two main styles of Bird Netting are an inexpensive lightweight plastic mesh, which is used in gardens or to help solve small homeowner bird problems. This netting should only be used for short-term bird problems, because it is not designed to hold up to the elements.  I will focus on the Bird Netting of choice for bird control professionals which is made out of polyethylene twine, that is long lasting, water resistant and nearly invisible when installed correctly. It is available in black, stone and white, with black being far and away the most popular color because it blends in with almost background including white buildings. Contrary to what most people think white netting is the most visible because it reflects light and brakes down faster from the UV rays.

Selecting the Bird Net mesh size

Pest birds including sparrows, starlings, woodpeckers, pigeons, crows, gulls come in all different shapes and sizes, so therefore you need to use a net that will exclude your problem bird. High-end bird nets are available in a variety of mesh sizes. The mesh “opening” is the area in the netting in which small birds or large birds could potentially squeeze through. The mesh squares are measured from one side of the twine to the opposite side. To exclude sparrows and all other pest birds use ¾” mesh netting.  Small 3/4” netting can be used to keep swallows out of eves, run under carports as a false ceiling or solve large bird problems in warehouses and hangers. The next size up is 1 1/8”, which keeps out Starlings and larger birds. Starling Net is commonly used to keep starlings out of little openings on roof edges and over hangs. Pigeon net or 2” netting is the most widely used bird control netting because of the high level of problems with pigeons or larger birds like gulls.  Pigeon net is used on home eves, courtyards, rooftops, carports literally any enclosed or semi-enclosed area where pigeons or larger birds are a problem. 

The largest size polyethylene mesh twine is the 4” gull net, which is used to keep large birds like gulls and geese out of ponds, rooftops etc.
