What makes Medavakkam different
Repeated cooing and flapping near the building ledge disturbs sleep, especially at dawn. Medavakkam's rapid apartment growth means many towers have unenclosed balconies and duct shafts that attract nesting pigeons.
Nearby wetlands and lakes support big crow and myna populations that visit balconies and ledges. Nesting material, feathers and dead chicks block drains, vents and ducts near the building ledge.
What we see in Medavakkam
The locality borders the Pallikaranai marsh and has lakes and open land nearby, which support large populations of crows, mynas and pigeons. Many buildings are handed over with open balconies and duct areas, so residents often add nets and grills after moving in.
New apartment blocks in Medavakkam often have open duct shafts and unenclosed utility balconies, which pigeons quickly take over. We recommend dealing with ducts and balconies at the same time, and we measure each opening carefully because newer buildings do not always have even parapets or straight edges.
Installing pigeon nets for buildings around Medavakkam Junction
Facade work follows a floor-by-floor plan, with edges sealed to the structure and panels overlapped for full coverage. We measure the opening and choose a mesh small enough to keep pigeons out but still let air and light through. The net is tensioned so it stays taut and does not flap, which also keeps it neat and quiet in the wind.
Around Medavakkam we work on new apartment complexes, independent houses in growing layouts and commercial buildings on the main road; each has its own ledges, gaps and fixing points that a bird will find.
We plan work with the building manager or committee to keep residents safe and informed.
What goes into a good pigeon nets for buildings installation
Our pigeon nets for buildings jobs use Knotless HDPE or nylon pigeon net, UV-stabilised binding cord, Stainless-steel hooks and clips and Corrosion-resistant fixing screws.
A further point for this area: Fast construction leaves some buildings with uneven parapets, so nets need careful site-specific measurement.
What to ask any installer before you agree:
- Insist that every edge is sealed, because a partial net simply moves the birds to the gap.
- Choose mesh of about 40 to 50 mm for pigeons, since a larger mesh lets small chicks slip in.
- Look for UV-stabilised material, so the net does not turn brittle and snap in Chennai's summer sun.
What affects the cost of pigeon nets for buildings in Medavakkam
Prices for pigeon nets for buildings in Medavakkam depend on the job rather than a fixed rate. The main factors are:

- The area to be covered in square feet is the main factor, with larger areas costing less per square foot.
- Height and access matter, since upper-floor work may need rope-access or a suspended platform.
- Cleaning out old nests and droppings before installation is charged separately when needed.

Looking after your installation
Maintenance is light, but a few habits make a real difference in Medavakkam:
- Avoid feeding pigeons nearby, because a regular feeding point draws flocks back to the area.
- Check for tears or loose hooks after storms and repair them promptly.
- Hose the net gently every few months to wash off dust and any stray droppings.
