Birds roosting or breeding on buildings are causing expensive problems for an increasing number of companies around Ireland. At first glance, pigeons, seagulls, and starlings may seem innocuous, but when they congregate in sufficient quantities, they may pose a major danger to health, hygiene, and structural integrity. The ideal remedy? Before the issue becomes worse, make a plan and set aside money for bird netting.
Bird netting is one of the most effective and humane ways to prevent birds from nesting or roosting on your property. By preparing early, you not only save money but also protect your premises from long-term damage and disruption.
Why Bird Netting Is an Essential Part of Bird Control?
Bird netting acts as a physical barrier that stops pest birds from accessing certain areas of a building, such as roofs, balconies, loading bays, and signage. It is a humane bird-proofing solution, ensuring that birds are deterred without being harmed.
Professional bird netting offers numerous advantages, including:
- Comprehensive protection – Keeps pigeons, gulls, and other birds away from problem areas.
- Discreet appearance – Modern netting is available in a range of colours, blending seamlessly with building exteriors.
- Durability – Quality netting materials can withstand Ireland’s changing weather conditions.
- Compliance – Meets Irish wildlife and health & safety regulations.
- Cost-efficiency – Long-term savings on cleaning, maintenance, and repair costs.
For a building to remain safe, hygienic, and structurally sound, bird-proofing measures like netting are essential, whether it’s an industrial warehouse, retail center, or historic structure.
The Real Cost of Ignoring Bird Infestations
Many property owners underestimate the damage that pest birds can cause. Bird droppings are highly acidic and can corrode stone, metal, and paintwork. Nesting materials can block gutters and drainage systems, leading to leaks, dampness, and structural deterioration.
But that’s not all the presence of birds can create a range of issues, including:
- Health hazards – Birds and their droppings carry diseases such as salmonella, psittacosis, and E. coli.
- Slip and fall risks – Droppings on walkways or entrances can create hazards for staff and visitors.
- Noise and odour issues – Nesting birds create constant noise and unpleasant smells.
- Damage to business reputation – For restaurants, hotels, or food facilities, visible bird activity can deter customers and result in failed inspections.
Over time, the costs of cleaning, repairing, and disinfecting can far exceed the cost of professional bird netting installation. That’s why it makes financial sense to include bird control in your annual maintenance and safety budgets.
Why You Should Budget Now for Bird Netting?
Birds typically begin nesting during spring and summer, but by budgeting and planning during the winter months, you can:
- Avoid seasonal price increases – Demand for bird control services peaks in spring. Booking early ensures better rates.
- Schedule installations conveniently – Early planning means you can have netting in place before breeding season.
- Reduce emergency call-out costs – Preventing infestations is always more affordable than reactive treatment.
- Protect staff and assets year-round – Once installed, bird netting works continuously without maintenance worries.
Budgeting early allows business owners and property managers to spread costs, plan preventative maintenance, and stay ahead of potential pest issues.
