Why Mylapore properties need pigeon nets for duct areas
The temple tank and gopuram area support big pigeon populations that drift to neighbouring balconies all day. Nesting material, feathers and dead chicks block drains, vents and ducts near the duct area.
Repeated cooing and flapping near the duct area disturbs sleep, especially at dawn. Proximity to the sea means salt in the air, so hardware needs to be corrosion-resistant.
What we see in Mylapore
Mylapore is one of the oldest parts of Chennai, built around the Kapaleeshwarar Temple, its large tank and the four mada streets that surround it. Traditional houses with courtyards and tiled roofs stand alongside older apartment buildings, and towards Santhome the area opens out to the sea.
Homes close to the Kapaleeshwarar Temple and its tank see pigeons throughout the day, and heritage houses offer them many sheltered ledges, courtyard edges and roof gaps. We design net layouts that follow the shape of these older buildings, including courtyards and sloping roofs, and use stainless fittings that stand up to the salty air.
Our pigeon nets for duct areas installation approach in Mylapore
For duct areas we net across the openings while leaving pipes and cables free to be serviced. 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.
Whether it is traditional houses on the mada streets or heritage-style residences, we walk the whole space first and note every gap a bird could use.
We inspect for existing nests and droppings, which should be cleared safely before netting.
Materials we use for pigeon nets for duct areas
Typical materials on a pigeon nets for duct areas installation are Knotless HDPE or nylon pigeon net, UV-stabilised binding cord, Stainless-steel hooks and clips and Corrosion-resistant fixing screws.
One more local factor: Old houses on the mada streets have tiled roofs and inner courtyards that suit custom net layouts.
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.
- Ask whether the net can be lifted or opened for cleaning windows and AC servicing.
