Pearl Harbor Defense Distribution Depot
Problem:
The Army Corp of Engineers
was in the process of building a new Defense Distribution Depot at Pearl Harbor
to store materials and goods for the military. In the past, other airplane
hangars and warehouses at military bases had developed pigeon problems. The
cross beam structure of hangar and warehouse design is very attractive to
pigeons for roosting and nesting. Rather than let a costly pigeon problem
develop, they decided to spec pigeon & bird control netting as a preventative
measure and made the bird control product installation part of the building
process.Solution:
Our bird control team worked
with the Army Corp of Engineers and subcontractor Miller Watt Construction to
install pigeon net across the entire ceiling of the warehouse facility, cutting
off all pigeon access to the support beam above. Installing 3/4" bird nets in
such an large space is difficult and requires expertise in setting the correct
net cabling support system, pulling the pigeon net correctly to ensure there are
no gaps large enough for pigeons to gain access to the protected area and
experience using boom lifts to install pigeon netting so the pigeon control
product does not rip or tear and product is not wasted. The pigeon control team
at Bird Solutions has years of experience working large jobs such as this as
well as other warehouses and airplane hangars to ensure a professional and
long-lasting pigeon exclusion installation.
Bird netting comes in
various sizes to combat different bird species. The 3/4 inch mesh size bird net
excludes all bird species, from pigeons to sparrows. The bird netting consists
of twisted and knotted polyethylene twine designed to last 10 years or more, and
bird net is one of the most effective pigeon control products on the market.
This pigeon net installation also included the use of net zippers to allow
access for maintenance on lighting fixtures. Once installed, the pigeon net
effectively blocks the pigeons from accessing any part of the entire area and
forces them to leave as there are no areas to perch or nest on anymore.

Pigeon net installed to protect the new defense distribution
depot facility at Pearl Harbor from any unwanted winged visitors.
Zippers were installed in the horizontal net surface to allow for
maintenance access to lighting. Pigeon net is nearly invisible once
installed from ground level, making for a pigeon free, clean facility
without an intrusive-looking pigeon control product installation. |
Pigeon netting is installed horizontally across the entire
warehouse ceiling by using a boom lift for access. A tight cable support
support system and taut pigeon net ensure that no gaps are left for
pigeons to roost or nest in the beam structure above. |

The entire ceiling of this new defense distribution depot
facility is protected with pigeon net to keep pigeons from defecating on
the high tech equipment and supplies this warehouse will contain below.
The pigeon net presents an impenetrable barrier to the pigeons that want
to access the rafters for nesting or roosting opportunities |
