32nd Street Naval Station
Problem:
At the 32nd Street Naval
Station, our bird control team worked as a subcontractor through Strong Hold
Engineering, who was working with the Army Corp of Engineers to solve pigeon
problems at 32nd Street Naval Station. Pigeons were roosting and nesting in the
support beams and lights above, then the birds defecated all over materials
being shipped through the warehouse. This created unsanitary conditions and
resulted in cleanup and hazardous materials issues for the workers in the area.
The installation of this particular pigeon control product required the use of
60’ boom lifts and took about 6 weeks to complete.Solution:
Pigeon netting, a 2 inch mesh
of twisted and knotted polyethylene twine designed to last 10 years or more, was
installed horizontally to block off access to the many support beams and
lighting fixtures where the pigeons were roosting and nesting. The pigeon net
installation included the use of net zippers to allow access for
maintenance on lighting fixtures. Once installed, the pigeon net effectively
blocks the pigeons access to the entire area and forces them to leave as there
are no area to perch anymore. The pigeon net was also installed outside in the
loading dock area to deter pigeons from the entire building area.

Pigeon netting installed horizontally across the ceiling of a
warehouse at 32nd Street Naval Station effectively blocks the pigeons
access to beams and lighting units where pigeons were roosting and
nesting. |
Pigeon net was installed horizontally on this loading dock outside to
keep pigeons from roosting and nesting in the beams. |

The pigeon net installed at 32nd Street Naval Station keeps
pigeons from defecating on the materials warehoused below. Before the
pigeon netting was installed, materials were damaged from the droppings
and extra cleaning of the droppings was required resulting in
significant additional labor costs. |
The pigeon netting was installed to completely deter pigeons
from entering the support beam and lighting area. However, net zippers
were installed to give workers needed access for maintenance, while
still keeping pigeons away. |
