In urban environments, pest birds like pigeons and seagulls can cause serious problems for commercial and residential buildings. Bird netting is a proven solution to prevent nesting, damage and health risks. But installing bird netting on high-rise buildings, rooftops and complex structures presents a unique set of challenges. Solving pest control challenges with rope access solutions is an innovative and cost-effective method with extremely successful results.
At Rope Access 24 Seven, we specialise in high-level bird netting installation using safe, efficient and cost-effective rope access methods. In this article, we explore the common challenges of bird netting installations at height and how rope access methods provide a practical answer.
- Limited Access to Elevated Areas
One of the biggest challenges in bird netting installations is gaining access to difficult areas such as roof edges, parapets, balconies and building facades. Traditional methods like scaffolding or cherry pickers may be restricted by:
- Limited ground space
- Obstructions
- Building design
- Height restrictions
Rope access pest control eliminates these issues. Our technicians are IRATA-trained and can reach virtually any area using advanced rope systems, without the need for bulky access equipment.
- Wind Exposure and Weather Conditions
Working at height exposes technicians to strong winds and rapidly changing weather conditions, which can compromise safety and affect the precision of netting installations. Netting must be tensioned correctly to avoid sagging or damage.
Our rope access teams are experienced in managing high-altitude weather challenges. With a secure rope-based setup, we can anchor and tension bird netting precisely, even in exposed or windy locations.
- Architectural Complexity
Modern buildings often feature:
- Curved facades
- Glass canopies
- Decorative overhangs
- Uneven rooflines
These architectural features can make it extremely difficult to install bird netting with standard access solutions. Rope access offers the flexibility to adapt to different building geometries. We custom-fit netting around awkward corners, sharp angles and unusual elevations with minimal disruption to the building’s aesthetics.
- Minimising Disruption and Downtime
For commercial properties like hotels, shopping centres and office blocks, long-term scaffolding can be disruptive to operations and create an unpleasant visual impact.
Rope access bird control offers a discreet and efficient alternative. Our team works quickly and safely, often completing jobs in less time than traditional methods and without obstructing entry points or foot traffic.
- Ensuring Long-Term Effectiveness
Poorly installed bird netting can lead to:
- Gaps or weak points
- Premature wear and tear
- Ineffective pest deterrence
Using rope access methods, our technicians inspect every inch of the structure up close, allowing us to ensure precision in placement and durability. We use industry-approved fixings and UV-resistant netting materials for lasting protection.
