Pigeon droppings carry real health risks, including fungal infections from dried droppings dust, and they corrode paint, ACs and railings over time. Once a pair nests successfully, the same ledge or duct is reused year after year, so the problem compounds if left untreated.
We use a tighter weave than standard balcony netting, roughly 3/4-inch to 1-inch grid, because pigeons can squeeze through gaps that easily stop larger birds. Every corner, gap between the net and wall, and duct opening is heat-sealed or tied off individually so there is no loose edge for a determined bird to work through.
Duct areas and AC compressor ledges are the most common pigeon entry points we treat, alongside open balconies in older buildings without existing grillwork. We inspect the full elevation during the free visit, not just the area you've noticed birds in, since pigeons often nest one floor away from where droppings are visible.
For buildings with a heavy existing infestation, we recommend a one-time safe clean-up of old nesting material before netting, since sealing pigeons inside an existing nest area is both inhumane and creates an odour problem.
Pricing guide

| Single balcony pigeon netting | ₹4,000 – ₹7,500 | Finer mesh costs slightly more than standard nets |

Prices are indicative; your exact quote depends on site inspection, height and access.
Frequently asked questions
Will the net trap pigeons that are already nesting?+
No — we clear existing nesting material safely before sealing the area, so no bird is trapped inside.
Is pigeon netting different from balcony safety netting?+
Yes, pigeon netting uses a finer mesh (about 3/4-1 inch) than the 2-inch mesh used for general fall-safety nets, and pays special attention to sealing every edge.
How quickly will pigeons stop coming after installation?+
Once entry points are sealed, pigeons typically stop attempting to land within a few days, though a small number may circle the area for a week or two before giving up.
Does this work for duct areas shared between multiple flats?+
Yes, we regularly net shared duct shafts; this may need coordination with neighbouring flat owners or the building association, which we can help facilitate.
