About pigeon nets for buildings in Mysuru
On a large building, pigeons pick a ledge and colonise it, and droppings stain the facade below.
For buildings we work from rope access or a platform, netting each ledge or void in turn. We walk the building and mark ledges, sunshades and voids before quoting.
Mysuru homes and pigeon nets for buildings
Mysuru is a green city with large trees, lakes such as Kukkarahalli and Karanji, and big flocks of pigeons around the palace and the central markets. All of that means plenty of birds around homes: pigeons on ledges and sunshades, and crows, mynas and parakeets in garden trees. Nets keep them off balconies, windows and terraces while leaving the birds unharmed.
Mysuru (Mysore) is a planned heritage city, known for the Mysore Palace, wide roads and well laid-out residential areas. Layouts such as Vijayanagar, Kuvempunagar, Saraswathipuram, Gokulam and Jayalakshmipuram are mostly independent houses on individual sites, many with gardens and open terraces. Apartments are fewer than in the bigger metros but are growing, particularly around Hebbal, Bogadi and the outer ring road.
Because so much of Mysuru is independent housing, a typical job here covers several small openings on one house instead of a single large balcony: a terrace edge, a staircase, a couple of windows and a utility area. Residents also care about appearance, so a neat finish that does not spoil the look of the house matters.
The case for pigeon nets for buildings
Here is what usually leads Mysuru households to ask for pigeon nets for buildings:
- 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 building ledge.
- Droppings on the building ledge damage paint and corrode metal, and dried droppings become airborne dust.
Our pigeon nets for buildings method
Our team works through the following steps on a typical pigeon nets for buildings job:
- 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.
- We seal every edge, corner and junction with the wall, because pigeons search for the smallest gap.
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:
- Choose mesh of about 40 to 50 mm for pigeons, since a larger mesh lets small chicks slip in.
- Ask for knotless nylon or HDPE netting, which is gentler on birds and stays tauter than knotted net.
- Insist that every edge is sealed, because a partial net simply moves the birds to the gap.
Pricing pigeon nets for buildings: the main factors
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.

Care and maintenance
A little regular care keeps pigeon nets for buildings working for years:
- Keep plants and hanging items clear of the net so nothing tears or stretches it.
- 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.
