Why Mylapore properties need pigeon nets for windows
Old houses on the mada streets have tiled roofs and inner courtyards that suit custom net layouts. 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. Proximity to the sea means salt in the air, so hardware needs to be corrosion-resistant.
Pigeon nets for windows in Mylapore: local guide
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 windows installation approach in Mylapore
For windows we net the whole opening or the ledge, depending on whether you need the window to open. 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 check hinges, sliders and grills so the net never traps or restricts a working part.
Materials we use for pigeon nets for windows
Typical materials on a pigeon nets for windows installation are Knotless HDPE or nylon pigeon net, UV-stabilised binding cord, Stainless-steel hooks and clips and Corrosion-resistant fixing screws.
The temple tank and gopuram area support big pigeon populations that drift to neighbouring balconies all day.
What to ask any installer before you agree:
- 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.
- Choose mesh of about 40 to 50 mm for pigeons, since a larger mesh lets small chicks slip in.

Looking after your installation
Maintenance is light, but a few habits make a real difference in Mylapore:
- Keep plants and hanging items clear of the net so nothing tears or stretches it.
- Avoid feeding pigeons nearby, because a regular feeding point draws flocks back to the area.
- Hose the net gently every few months to wash off dust and any stray droppings.
