Bird Problem: Pigeons were causing problems over at North Island Naval Station in the hangars. The pigeons were roosting in the rafters and beams above the airplanes and making a mess with their pigeon droppings that meant lots of time and energy devoted to cleanup, as well as potential problems caused by pigeon droppings or nesting materials embedding themselves in high tech equipment.

Bird Control Product Solution: Our bird control team worked with the Army Corp of Engineers to get rid of the pigeon problems at North Island Naval Station, by installing pigeon netting across the entire beam structure of the hangar to effectively exclude pigeon access completely. This pigeon control product installation required the use of 60’ boom lifts to install the pigeon control products and took 2 weeks to complete.

Pigeon netting is a 2 inch mesh of twisted and knotted polyethylene twine designed to last 10 years or more and pigeon net is one of the most effective pigeon control products on the market for getting rid of pigeon problems. The pigeon net installation included the use of bird net zippers to allow access for maintenance on lighting fixtures. Once installed, the pigeon net effectively excludes the pigeons from accessing the entire area and forces them to leave as there are no areas to perch anymore. The pigeon net was also installed outside in the loading dock area to get rid of pigeons from the entire building area.
