Bird Control Services Photo Album: Installing Bird Netting to Stop the Sparrows & Save the Patio in Brick, NJ
Here's how we're going to exclude the sparrows and prevent them from pooping all over the patio in Brick, NJ.
Filled With Nesting Debris
Several areas of the patio were filled with nesting debris from the sparrows. The homeowner had previously installed some material to exclude the sparrows, but as you can see, that didn't work!
Health Risks of Birds Nests
Bird nests near homes pose significant risks, including fire hazards, structural damage to roofs/gutters, and severe health issues due to diseases (histoplasmosis, psittacosis) and parasites (mites, ticks) found in droppings and nesting materials.
TV Covered in Sparrow Poop
Not to mention, the sparrows caused a huge mess with their feces!
Clean it Up
First, we safely removed all of the nesting debris, took down all of the old exclusion material that the owner had installed, and disinfected the entire patio.
Now for Bird Netting
Once that was completed we installed bird netting throughout the patio.
Securely Installed
To make sure the bird netting is secured, we're using a stainless steel cable with net spikes and are anchoring it into the walls. We then locked the cables in place using copper ferrules and then installed turnbuckles which tighten the cable.
Benefits of Bird Netting
Bird netting is a 3/4 inch, heavy duty polyethylene bird netting that's used to humanely block the sparrows from entering any unwanted areas. It creates an impenetrable barrier that denies the sparrows, as well as all nuisance birds, the access to the patio and removes the landing areas for them.
Excluded & Protected
The sparrows will fly around, realize they can't enter, and move on. Now the patio is properly protected from the sparrows!
