Bird netting is one of our favourite bird-proofing measures at Invicta Environmental to prevent pest birds from roosting or perching in their desired location. Protecting your business is crucial, as birds including pigeons and seagulls, carry serious diseases, cause significant damage to your reputation and have severe cost implications. Our bird netting solutions fortify your building against these issues.
What sets our netting installations apart is the sheer experience of our avian team, spanning 60+ years working with a range of blue-chip clients across the UK. We’re entirely up to date with all legislation from Natural England and can install bird netting in any environment, regardless of health and safety challenges.
Invicta’s Bird Control Process
Invicta will attend your site to investigate what species of bird is causing you issues. We will listen and understand your goals when it comes to bird control to ensure we give you the best possible suggestions.
After attending the site, we will produce a detailed survey report outlining what we recommend to keep your site bird free. Within the report, we will include the costs of each of our bird proofing suggestions.
Once we have agreed on a plan with you, we will book a date to attend the property and carry out our pest control work. Risk assessments, method statements, and copies of our team’s training certifications will be sent over before we attend the site to carry out the work.
Our fully trained bird control teams will attend site to complete the work agreed. We will then invite the site contact to inspect the work and a detailed report will be emailed over to show that all the bird control work has now been completed.

Frequently asked questions
In the process of setting up bird nets on the ground, it’s common to secure the net using a ground anchor. In the case of a ballast net, a wireframe system is typically used. You also have the option to anchor the net with paving slabs or similar materials. However, it’s generally not the norm to physically attach the net to the ground unless the goal is to prevent birds from feasting on crops and vegetation, for example.
Various fixings are employed based on the specific material being drilled into during bird netting installation. Cladding fixings, stone fixings, masonry fixings, brick fixings, and wood fixings are utilised, each chosen according to the nature of the structure. The method of supporting the bird netting is determined by the material being drilled into. Additionally, a stainless steel wire system is the standard choice (galvanised is never used unless specifically requested). Finally, once the fixings are installed, the net is affixed using hog rings.
The net installation cost varies significantly based on the specific bird control requirements and location. We encourage you to contact our office at 01388 309345 for an estimate. Our team can arrange a complimentary site survey, ensuring an accurate assessment of your project.
Generally, no planning permission is required for bird netting. However, it’s worth noting that you might need permission to drill into specific structures, such as stone buildings in city centres.
The durability of bird netting depends on its installation location and the materials used. In sheltered environments like canopies and delivery areas, where exposure to weather is minimal, the netting can endure for up to 3 years. Conversely, the lifespan may be shorter in areas exposed to the elements. Invicta Environmental provides a one-year guarantee, excluding damage caused by incorrect handling. Furthermore, opting for materials such as flame retardant netting can prevent unexpected damage. While opting for a maintenance plan is advisable and can extend the life of your bird netting up to 20 years, it is generally expected that bird nets should last around 3 years under normal conditions.
