Advantages Of Bird Netting
Birds are one of the top problems of the agricultural production
in the country. Not only do birds interrupt crops, they can also
ruin your garden, the school's playground, the parking lot in
your work, and many more locations where birds exist.
There are many products that could help you with your problem.
There are a number of pesticides and other machinery that could
be used to prevent pest birds. But there are also many good
birds that do not cause damage, and may even help to pollenate
your crops and garden, or control smaller pests such as bugs.
What, therefore, is the safest way to control the population of
problem birds without interfering with the populations of the
good birds? Bird netting is your answer.
Bird netting has many advantages, such as -
1. Health Issues
There have been studies that birds could give illnesses when
droppings get in contact with people's skin. Pigeons for
example, carry infectious diseases. These pigeons could give
people tuberculosis, flu, paratyphoid, Lyme-disease,
Toxoplasmosis, and Encephalitis. By making sure that these
pigeons do not spread their diseases, bird netting could put an
end to your health worrying.
2. Protecting Plantation
Most birds tend to peck on your fruits, vegetables, and plants
because they know that these are food. Do not underestimate the
birds. Protect your plantation with bird netting, so your plants
are fenced safely away from their prying beaks.
3. Save The Birds
The best advantage bird netting has is it is environmentally
friendly. By making use of bird netting to protect your
property, you are not killing the birds. You are simply covering
up the location with a net for the birds to stay away. Unlike
other methods of pest control, bird netting does not harm the
birds. Pesticides and aroma repellants terminate the birds
permanently. Plus, there are laws regarding the harming of birds
like robins and blackbirds. Using bird netting, you are abiding
the law!
