Cowleys Pest Services Case Studies: Birds Causing Problems in the Warehouse in Cape May, NJ

Challenge

Our Bird Solutions crew was recently sent out to a warehouse in Cape May, NJ to handle a nuisance bird issue. Apparently, the birds were roosting throughout the entire warehouse and defecating all over the place. Not only was this causing a huge mess, but it also presented a health hazard to everyone inside the warehouse as well as a slip, trip, fall hazard to the employees! In order to humanely exclude the nuisance birds from the warehouse, we installed a bird netting. 

Solution

In order make sure the bird netting is secured, we used a stainless steel cable with net spikes and anchored it into the walls. Next, we locked the cables in place using copper ferrules and then installed turnbuckles (which tighten the cables). Afterward, we used hog rings that secures the cable and connects it to the bird netting. This is 3/4 inch, heavy duty polyethylene bird netting is used to humanely block the nuisance birds from entering any unwanted areas. It creates an impenetrable barrier that denies all nuisance birds the access to this area. Doing this removes the landing areas for the nuisance birds.

The nuisance birds will fly around, realize they can't enter, and move on. Another bonus is that the bird netting is almost invisible, unless you take a real close look at it. Now nuisance birds will no longer roost in the warehouse.
