Bird Netting & Mitigation

NETServices designs and installs bird exclusion systems for commercial, industrial, aviation, agricultural and public facilities nationwide. With over 24 years in business and 35 years of industry experience, we help customers protect structures, equipment and working areas from unwanted nesting, roosting and droppings.

Bird netting creates a physical barrier around areas birds would otherwise enter. Each system needs to suit the building, the spaces requiring exclusion and the way people use and maintain the facility.

Commercial and Industrial Facilities

Warehouses, loading areas, canopies, storefronts and building entrances can provide sheltered roosting places. Netting can help exclude birds from these areas and reduce recurring cleanup. We consider the structure, attachment points and access needed for normal operations when planning the installation.

Aircraft Hangars and Military Facilities

Large open structures present different installation and access challenges. NETServices provides bird netting for hangars and military facilities, with systems planned around the building’s structure and operating requirements. The photo above shows bird netting installed in a Department of Defense aircraft hangar.

Hatcheries and Agricultural Applications

Netting can help protect hatchery ponds and other agricultural areas from predatory birds. We design the supporting system and netting layout around the site, considering both exclusion and access for ongoing work. See our specialty netting applications for more information about hatchery protection and habitat enclosures.

Public Spaces and Covered Areas

Bird activity above walkways, seating, plazas and transit areas can create maintenance problems. A planned exclusion system can help protect these spaces while accommodating visibility, access and the appearance of the structure.

Installation, Inspection and Repair

We assess the area to be protected, the supporting structure and the attachment requirements before recommending a system. Our services include new installations, replacement netting and repairs to existing systems. An inspection helps identify damaged material, openings or attachment issues that may compromise exclusion.

Project Spotlight:
Fort Rucker

More than 450,000 square feet of bird exclusion netting installed across 22 buildings and structures.

NETServices installed bird exclusion netting across multiple hangars and other structures at Fort Rucker, Alabama. The work addressed sheltered areas where birds could roost within the buildings, with netting fitted beneath roof structures and around building features.

The project specifications called for black 3/4-inch Bird B Gone netting and stainless-steel attachment hardware for the humid environment. The installation illustrates why mesh selection, perimeter connections and access around overhead equipment must be planned together.

Planning Your Bird Exclusion System

Does the same netting work for every bird?

No. Mesh openings must suit the birds being excluded. Netting intended for pigeons or larger birds may allow smaller birds through. Identifying the birds and the openings they use helps determine the appropriate mesh, coverage and attachment details.

How is netting fitted around a building?

The layout must account for beams, pipes, corners and changes in the building surface. Attachment hardware needs to suit the supporting material, whether steel, concrete or wood. A continuous barrier, with secure edges and connections, matters as much as the netting itself.

Can maintenance crews still reach lights and equipment?

Access should be planned before installation. Depending on the layout, netting can incorporate zippered access openings for servicing lights and other equipment. These openings need to be closed after use to restore the barrier.

Does bird netting need ongoing inspection?

Yes. Check for damaged mesh, loose attachments and gaps, especially after building work or equipment servicing near the netting. Report birds getting behind the barrier so the entry point can be assessed. Repairs should address how birds are entering as well as the visible damage.

Discuss Your Bird Mitigation Project

Send your facility location, photos of the affected areas, the birds involved if known, and the approximate height and dimensions of the space. Include equipment access, operating hours and any lights or fixtures that must remain accessible. For repairs, photographs of both the damage and the full installation help us assess the work.
