About pigeon nets for windows in Chennai
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.
Window nets are cut to the frame and fixed with concealed clips so the finish looks tidy from inside. We look for gaps between the frame and wall, where pigeons often squeeze in.
The case for pigeon nets for windows
The main reasons people book pigeon nets for windows are:
- Nesting material, feathers and dead chicks block drains, vents and ducts near the window.
- Droppings on the window damage paint and corrode metal, and dried droppings become airborne dust.
- Repeated cooing and flapping near the window disturbs sleep, especially at dawn.
- Bird mites and ticks from old nests can move into homes through open windows and balcony doors.
How we install pigeon nets for windows
Our team works through the following steps on a typical pigeon nets for windows job:
- The net is tensioned so it stays taut and does not flap, which also keeps it neat and quiet in the wind.
- Where a nest or eggs are present, we advise on safe, humane removal before the net is fitted.
- We measure the opening and choose a mesh small enough to keep pigeons out but still let air and light through.
- We seal every edge, corner and junction with the wall, because pigeons search for the smallest gap.
Choosing materials for pigeon nets for windows
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.
- Insist that every edge is sealed, because a partial net simply moves the birds to the gap.
- Look for UV-stabilised material, so the net does not turn brittle and snap in Chennai's summer sun.
