We have always fantasised about waking up in the morning on our balcony with a mesmerising view, surrounded by nature. The melodious sound of the birds feels like a perfect dream. But have you ever thought that the bird with a melodious chirping sound also brings the dirt and their poops?
Birds are a cool part of nature, but sometimes they can be too much if they decide to nest at your house. The incessant chirping sounds okay in theory, but the poo underfoot and the clear-up of feathers, nesting debris is a ground-surface maintenance nightmare.
But before you ever go and put up a bird net, there are some elements to remember. Correctly placed bird netting creates a feeling of peace while protecting the environment. If it is not done properly, things can get worse very quickly. P AND P Pest Control provides Bird Management Services in Ahmedabad. You can take the services to avoid such problems. Here are some of the do's and don'ts by the experts when it comes to installing bird nets at home, helping you safeguard your homes while giving a better breathing space for birds as well.
The Do’s of Installing Bird Nets
Do Choose the Right Material
The material you choose for bird nets is of great importance. Choose a material like nylon or polyethene that is capable of resisting inclement weather and can handle some abuse. They are strong and resist water, rainstorms, or crosswinds that could ruin the net besides subjecting it to UV rays. You want your bird netting to be strong enough to do the job, but you still do not have the right to harm a single bird, and that is why we suggest staying away from low-quality nets that are likely cheaply made or weak.
Do Measure Your Spaces Accurately
With the help of a birdnet, you can measure and install a net not by estimating but with accuracy. No matter what you do on your balcony, terrace, or garden side-step, help us find out what size to cut so that we buy netting just over the required levels without any waste. Ensure the netting wraps around everything you want to keep birds out of and does not leave any gaps for a bird to get through.
Do Install the Netting Securely
The proper installation is the key to effective bird netting, which ensures that the net is securely attached at every point using strong fixings such as hooks, nails, or ties. The net must be so tight (but not too tight) and laid evenly all across to avoid any sagging where the birds may find their way through. Be sure to reinforce the edges and especially corners since these are typically vulnerable areas where a bird may try to wiggle through.
Do Consider the Aesthetics
As much as functionality is a priority, you do not desire to upset your backyard with an ugly bird net. Pick a netting hue that matches its background. Black or dark green work wonders as they tend to be invisible. Also, take into account how the net will appear from within as well as outside your home. The goal is that properly installed netting does not detract from the aesthetic of your home.
The Don’ts of installing Bird nets
Don’t Use Nets With a Large Gap
A common cold water mistake is to use a net with, too coarse of mesh. Less frequent, yet larger mesh might appear more open, but it can let smaller birds through and thus serve the purpose of a net. Choose a mesh size that will block the smallest birds yet allow light and air to pass through. The mesh size 1cm-2cm is generally a good compromise for keeping most birds out.
Do Not Violate Local Wildlife Regulation
Different legal rules apply to the installation of bird nets in each area, especially where species are protected. Before installing a net, you must check your local wildlife protection laws to verify there are no endangered birds around that area or any other regulations being violated. Balance is the main thing while protecting your hives and respecting biodiversity.
Do Not Block the Access of Any Required Area
Remember also: if you are using bird netting, do not block access to windows or doors that need frequent opening and closing. It could lead to ventilation problems, block potential emergency exits, or make it tough for you to use your space. You will want to plan your installation quite carefully in order not to frustrate the humans who need access while also keeping birds away.
Don’t Forget About Removal
In the future, you may have to replace your bird net or take it down. If you have a net to install, think about removing it later. Installing complex net can be a good decision, but remember not to use anything with overly complicated fixes that are permanent and might make getting them off hard, as this could cause a lot of damage. Use a firmly temporary way installation so that you will be able to quickly and easily modify or remove the net if required.
With P and P Pest Control, installing bird nets will allow you to relax and enjoy your outdoor areas without the annoyances of nature droppings. However, be very careful when carrying out this task following the dos and don'ts, that are specified above. With the proper materials, correct installation, and routine maintenance involved, you can enjoy a bird-free environment easily.
