Barkdale AFB Project

Barksdale AFB is one of many US Air Force hangars Nation Wide Bird Control has treated for bird problems over the years.

At Barksdale AFB in Louisiana, we installed over 120,000 square feet of bird netting to cover the underside of the ceiling beams and protect materials, equipment and personnel from bird droppings.

Bird Net is a very effective means of bird control as it presents a complete bird barrier, denying the target bird - pigeon, starling or sparrow - from accessing the protected area entirely. The StealthNet bird net we use is very low visibility, while providing complete protection from target pest birds.
 

Our bird control services have been utilized both nationwide and internationally by the U.S. military to solve tough bird problems.

Bird Netting

Bird netting is generally considered the best form of protection against birds since it is permanent, long-lasting and it creates a permanent bird barrier, completely blocking access to the area it protects. Because of the different mesh sizes available, it is effective against virtually any size bird.

There are many kinds of bird netting on the market. Nation Wide Bird Control uses StealthNet, the highest quality bird netting available. This bird net has extra U.V.-resistance embedded in the polyethylene itself to ensure a long-lasting protective barrier for your building. This bird netting consists of several strands of U.V. resistant polyethelene that are twisted and then knotted at each corner, creating a strong, impenetrable barrier against target birds. This bird control netting is fire retardant and is guaranteed by the manufacturer to withstand the elements for at least 10 years.

The bird netting is available in beige, black and translucent (milky white) colors to blend with your building or structure. Several different mesh sizes are available depending on the pest bird species targeted.

A cable support system is installed by our bird control team and the netting is then attached to the cable. The hardware used to attach the netting is top quality steel, guaranteed to support the weight of the bird net and withstand the elements for years.

The bird net we use is hard to see once installed. This face net installation (left) keeps birds from prime roosting locations, even though it is hardly noticeable from inside the offices (right).
