Bird Netting On Cherry Tree

Birds can pose a huge problem to crop farmers; especially those in cereal, vegetable and fruits areas. Using bird netting is an effective way to prevent your crops from being damaged or eaten and is considered to be the oldest and most effective bird control option available.

Bird netting STOPS birds from accessing agricultural or architectural areas which could include any open areas, roofs, parking garages, trees as well as vineyards, orchards and fields.

However, sometimes the main crop isn’t an issue. Birds will feast on the planted seeds and/or the tender shoots. Other uses include top netting for chicken pens and bird exclusion in commercial buildings.

Our bird netting is a visually pleasing bird control product that is available in green to make it blend with your background and structures.

Suggested Uses

Use it to defend a wide range of bird attracting plants such as strawberries, blueberries and grape vines, or fruit trees such as peaches, plums, nectarines and figs. It can also be installed around a frame to protect the vegetable garden.

Another use of bird netting is that it can create a micro climate within the space that it encompasses. The biodiversity of insects, temperatures, condensation and wind dispersal can all be affected by a micro climate.
