What pigeon nets for windows involves
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.
Pigeon nets for windows in Mysuru: local conditions
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.
Why pigeon nets for windows matters in Mysuru
Here is what usually leads Mysuru households to ask for pigeon nets for windows:
- Pigeons roost on a sheltered window within days of it being left open, and each pair can raise several broods a year.
- Droppings on the window damage paint and corrode metal, and dried droppings become airborne dust.
- Nesting material, feathers and dead chicks block drains, vents and ducts near the window.
How we install pigeon nets for windows
Every job follows the same careful sequence, adapted to the building:
- Where a nest or eggs are present, we advise on safe, humane removal before the net is fitted.
- 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.
Specifications worth asking about
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:
- Look for UV-stabilised material, so the net does not turn brittle and snap in Mysuru's summer sun.
- 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.
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:
- Cleaning out old nests and droppings before installation is charged separately when needed.
- Mesh grade and cord thickness affect both price and lifespan.
- The area to be covered in square feet is the main factor, with larger areas costing less per square foot.

Care and maintenance
A little regular care keeps pigeon nets for windows working for years:

- Hose the net gently every few months to wash off dust and any stray droppings.
- Avoid feeding pigeons nearby, because a regular feeding point draws flocks back to the area.
