Hangar Bird Netting — Midwest Bird Control

Permanent Bird Exclusion for Aviation Facilities, FBOs & MRO Hangars

 Birds inside aircraft hangars create huge safety, contamination, and operational problems. Droppings damage sensitive equipment, nesting interferes with inspections, and birds near active aircraft are a serious FAA safety concern. 

Protection for your Investments--The Planes

 Midwest Bird Control installs industrial-grade hangar bird netting systems that keep pigeons, starlings, and sparrows permanently out of rafters, beams, and overhead structures — without restricting aircraft movement or maintenance operations.

Why Bird Netting Is Critical for Aircraft Hangars

Aircraft hangars provide ideal nesting and roosting conditions:

 

  • High steel rafters
     
  • Large warm open spaces
     
  • Minimal human presence after hours
     
  • Door openings that allow easy access
     
  • Sensitive equipment with no bird deterrents
     

Birds in a hangar can cause:

  • Droppings on aircraft surfaces
     
  • Contamination of aviation components
     
  • Slip hazards for mechanics
     
  • Damage to insulation, wiring, and ventilation
     
  • FAA and OSHA safety concerns
     
  • Failed inspections
     
  • Downtime for cleaning
     

Even one pigeon or starling nesting inside can possibly create thousands of dollars in cleanup and maintenance labor.

Hangar Bird Netting — The Most Effective Long-Term Solution

 

Bird netting is the only permanent way to prevent birds from accessing:

  • Rafters & I-beams
     
  • Catwalks
     
  • Lighting structures
     
  • Mechanical & electrical systems
     
  • Signage & upper beams
     
  • Upper wall cavities
     

Netting creates a full exclusion zone where birds cannot land, perch, or nest.

Featured Project: Bird Netting Install Columbia MO Hangar

hangar supports near the opening of the hangar

This customer is a private jet charter company near Columbia Missouri and they had birds making nests inside the hangar causing insulation damage in the ceiling and droppings on multi million dollar aircraft

Birds like sparrow or starlings love nook and cranny locations such as these and 3/4" black bird netting installed became the best and practical choice.

This project took very knowledgeable installers to go up and around all the pipes and beams to ensure a completely enclosed ceiling and wall space so birds cannot gain access anywhere

The result is a bird hangar protected from bird invasion and netting installed so cleanly that it can barely be seen unless up close.  This will protect the customers aircraft and people for years to come.
