Pigeons like to nest on balconies, ledges and hard-to-reach parts of buildings – with corresponding consequences for cleanliness, hygiene and building fabric. I install netting and spikes in an animal-welfare-compliant, precisely fitted way, via rope access technique without scaffolding.
Pigeon droppings are aggressive and permanently attack facades, natural stone and metal. On top of that, nesting material clogs gutters and downpipes, and pathogens in the droppings pose hygiene risks. Netting and spikes reliably prevent nesting without harming the animals – installed in an animal-welfare-compliant way, precisely fitted to the respective architecture.
I offer two proven systems – which one makes sense depends on the specific area and architecture. In our initial conversation, I'll give you an honest assessment of what suits your property.
For larger areas such as entire facades, roof undersides, light wells or courtyards. Covers the area completely, making it especially reliable even under heavy infestation pressure. Somewhat more involved to install than spikes.
For ledges, window sills, roof edges and narrow protrusions. Quick to install and unobtrusive, acting on the specific perching surface rather than covering an entire area.
For private households, I install netting and spikes for balconies, window sills or roof overhangs on single- or multi-family homes. For property management companies and businesses, large-scale netting of roof undersides, elevator shafts and other problem spots on commercial properties is also possible – more on this on the For Businesses & Property Managers page.
I am based in Schwabach and active throughout the region – including the Schwabach districts of Limbach, Wolkersdorf, Penzendorf, Schwarzach, Unterreichenbach and Eichwasen, as well as Nürnberg, Roth, Rednitzhembach, Büchenbach, Wendelstein, Kammerstein, Rohr, Fürth and Erlangen.
A short inquiry with photos is enough for an initial assessment.
Yes. The netting merely prevents nesting and access to certain areas, without trapping or injuring the animals. Any already affected areas are cleaned before installation.
I always use only small mesh sizes of a maximum of around 20 to 25 mm – even in places where a coarser mesh would be sufficient for pure pigeon deterrence. This means even smaller bird species cannot get caught in the netting. I also make sure the installation is taut and gap-free with no loose spots, since loosely hanging or damaged netting is the most common cause of injury to birds.
That depends on the area and architecture. More on the process is on the Pricing & Process page; I put together an exact quote after a short photo inquiry.
No. Installation is carried out via rope access technique directly from the securing point on the building – even in hard-to-reach spots such as beam openings or tall facades.
Yes, entire roof undersides with pipes, air conditioning equipment and other fixtures can be precisely netted – including maintenance hatches at points requiring later access.
With professional installation and regular visual inspection, both systems are weather-resistant and reliable for many years.
