About pigeon nets for windows in Bangalore
Pigeons hop onto sills to rest or nest, and their droppings run down the wall below.
For windows we net the whole opening or the ledge, depending on whether you need the window to open. We check hinges, sliders and grills so the net never traps or restricts a working part.
Bangalore homes and pigeon nets for windows
Pigeons are one of the most common complaints in Bangalore apartment communities, where they nest on balcony ledges, behind AC units and inside utility ducts. The city's many trees and lakes also bring crows, mynas and other birds close to homes. Tell us which birds you are dealing with, because the right mesh size differs.
Bangalore stands about 900 metres above sea level, which gives it a milder climate than most Indian cities, but it also gets long spells of rain, from the pre-monsoon showers of April and May through to November. Nets and fittings stay damp for long periods, so we use stainless fixings and not plain steel. The city is far inland, so 304-grade stainless steel is normally enough for invisible grills.
Bangalore (Bengaluru) has grown outwards along its tech corridors, and most new housing is in large gated apartment communities. Whitefield, Marathahalli, Bellandur, Sarjapur Road and Electronic City in the east and south-east, and Hebbal, Yelahanka and Thanisandra in the north, are full of towers with hundreds of flats each. The older layouts such as Jayanagar, Malleshwaram, Basavanagudi and Rajajinagar are different: tree-lined streets of independent houses, many now rebuilt as three- or four-floor buildings.
Why pigeon nets for windows matters in Bangalore
These are the problems we are called out for most often:
- Repeated cooing and flapping near the window disturbs sleep, especially at dawn.
- Bird mites and ticks from old nests can move into homes through open windows and balcony doors.
- Nesting material, feathers and dead chicks block drains, vents and ducts near the window.
Our pigeon nets for windows method
This is how a pigeon nets for windows installation normally proceeds:
- We measure the opening and choose a mesh small enough to keep pigeons out but still let air and light through.
- We seal every edge, corner and junction with the wall, because pigeons search for the smallest gap.
- A final walk-round checks each anchor and seam for anything a bird could use as an entry point.
Materials and what to look for
We normally use Knotless HDPE or nylon pigeon net, UV-stabilised binding cord, Stainless-steel hooks and clips and Corrosion-resistant fixing screws. Before you choose any installer, ask about the following:
- Ask whether the net can be lifted or opened for cleaning windows and AC servicing.
- Ask for knotless nylon or HDPE netting, which is gentler on birds and stays tauter than knotted net.
- Look for UV-stabilised material, so the net does not turn brittle and snap in Bangalore's summer sun.
What affects the price of pigeon nets for windows
We do not quote by phone without seeing the space, because prices depend on the job. The main factors are:
- Awkward shapes, such as around AC units and pipes, take longer to fit and finish.
- The area to be covered in square feet is the main factor, with larger areas costing less per square foot.
- Cleaning out old nests and droppings before installation is charged separately when needed.
