Understanding the Problem
Pigeons and birds are attracted to duct areas for various reasons, including seeking shelter, nesting, or scavenging for food. Unfortunately, their presence in ventilation systems can lead to a range of issues, such as:
Health Concerns: Bird droppings can carry harmful pathogens and allergens, posing health risks to occupants of the building. Pigeon droppings can harbor harmful bacteria and fungi, leading to respiratory illnesses like histoplasmosis and cryptococcosis.
Structural Damage: Nests and debris built by birds can obstruct airflow, reducing the efficiency of ventilation systems and potentially causing damage.
Noise Disturbances: Bird activity in duct areas may generate noise disturbances, affecting the comfort of occupants.
Fire Hazards: Dry nesting materials and debris can become potential fire hazards if located near heat-producing elements in the ductwork.
Addressing the Issue
Professional Inspection: Schedule regular inspections by pigoen net installation professionals like us to identify and assess any existing bird-related issues in your duct areas.
Deterrents and Exclusion Methods: Implement bird deterrents and exclusion methods, such as bird spikes, netting, or repellents, to discourage birds from roosting or nesting in ventilation systems.
Cleaning and Sanitization: Clean and sanitize duct areas regularly to remove bird droppings, nests, and debris. This not only improves air quality but also eliminates potential health risks associated with bird-related contaminants.
Sealing Entry Points: Identify and seal any openings or gaps in the building's structure that may serve as entry points for birds. This helps prevent them from gaining access to duct areas.
Education and Awareness: Educate building occupants about the importance of not feeding birds near the premises and reporting any signs of bird activity in or around duct areas.

Prioritizing these measures will contribute to the well-being and comfort of occupants while ensuring the longevity of your building's infrastructure. Here is a general guide for professional installation:
Conduct a thorough inspection of the duct area to identify entry points and potential nesting sites. Determine the type and size of bird netting required based on the bird species and the size of the openings.
Acquire high-quality bird netting material that is suitable for the specific application. Ensure you have the necessary tools, such as scissors, cable ties, hardware.
Clear the duct area of any debris, nesting materials, or bird droppings before installing the netting.
Measure the dimensions of the openings where the bird netting will be installed. Cut the netting to the appropriate size, leaving extra material for securing and fastening.
Affix the netting over the openings using suitable mounting hardware. Ensure that the netting is taut and securely fastened to prevent birds from accessing the duct area. Use cable ties or other fasteners to secure the edges of the netting, ensuring a snug fit.
Inspect the surrounding areas for any gaps or openings where birds may still gain access. Seal any gaps or holes using appropriate materials, such as sealants or additional netting.
