Bird activity inside aircraft hangars creates safety, contamination, and operational issues. Droppings can damage sensitive equipment, nesting interferes with inspections, and birds near active aircraft are a serious risk.
These problems continue as long as birds have access to overhead structure. Preventing access is the only way to stop birds from nesting and returning inside hangar environments.
Hangar bird problems do not go away on their own — they continue until access is eliminated.

Midwest Bird Control installs industrial-grade bird netting systems that prevent birds from accessing rafters, beams, and overhead structures inside hangars. This protects aircraft, equipment, and surfaces from droppings, debris, and ongoing contamination.
Systems are designed to work within active hangar environments — without restricting aircraft movement or maintenance operations.
If birds can’t access overhead structures, they can’t impact aircraft or operations.

Aircraft hangars create an ideal environment for birds to roost and nest. High steel rafters, large open spaces, and easy access through hangar doors allow birds to enter and remain undisturbed — especially after hours.
Once birds establish inside a hangar, the impact grows quickly. Droppings can contaminate aircraft surfaces and components, create slip hazards for mechanics, and lead to damage of insulation, wiring, and ventilation systems.
These conditions also create safety and compliance concerns, including potential FAA and OSHA issues, failed inspections, and operational downtime for cleanup.
Even a small number of birds can result in significant maintenance costs if access is not controlled.
Bird netting prevents birds from accessing the overhead areas inside hangars where they roost and nest, including rafters, I-beams, catwalks, lighting, and mechanical systems.
Instead of trying to deter birds, netting creates a controlled exclusion zone that blocks access to the structure entirely. This eliminates landing, perching, and nesting activity at the source.
👉 If birds can’t access these areas, they can’t become a problem.

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.

Midwest Bird Control installs bird netting systems built for large-scale hangar environments. Materials are selected for durability, safety, and long-term performance in high-clearance structures.
Systems are engineered to handle tall ceiling heights, active operations, and demanding conditions — while maintaining a clean, low-profile appearance that does not interfere with aircraft movement or maintenance.
Installations are performed on a wide range of aviation facilities, including FBOs, corporate hangars, military hangars, helicopter maintenance buildings, regional airports, and MRO operations.
We provide hangar bird netting across the Midwest including:
Every hangar project is planned and installed based on the structure, safety requirements, and operational needs of the facility.
1. Inspection & Assessment
We evaluate bird activity, roosting areas, structural layout, and site-specific safety considerations.
2. System Design
A custom netting layout is created to block access to overhead structures while maintaining full aircraft movement and operational access.
3. Cleanup & Preparation
Existing nests, droppings, and contamination are removed prior to installation to restore clean conditions.
4. Netting Installation
Perimeter cable systems and netting are installed and tensioned to create a secure exclusion barrier integrated with the structure.
5. Final Review
Each project is completed with a walkthrough, documentation, and system overview to ensure long-term performance.
Hangar bird netting systems are custom-designed based on the structure and operational requirements of each facility. Pricing depends on factors such as hangar size, ceiling height, structural complexity, and the level of existing bird activity.
Because every hangar environment is different, accurate pricing is provided after an on-site evaluation. This ensures the system is designed correctly and eliminates access to all problem areas.
In most cases, preventing bird activity reduces ongoing costs related to cleaning, aircraft maintenance, contamination, and operational delays.

Midwest Bird Control specializes in large-scale bird exclusion for commercial and aviation environments. Projects are handled by experienced crews trained for high-access work and complex structural installations.
Each system is designed for long-term performance, clean appearance, and minimal disruption to active operations — delivering a solution built to last for years in demanding hangar conditions.

Protect your aircraft, facility, and inspection standards with permanent bird exclusion.

We service aviation facilities across Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, South Dakota, and the entire Midwest.
Hangar bird netting is a physical exclusion system that prevents birds from accessing overhead areas inside aircraft hangars. It blocks entry to rafters, trusses, and structural spaces where birds roost and nest.
Birds inside hangars create safety and contamination issues. Droppings damage surfaces, affect equipment, and create slip hazards, while nesting interferes with inspections and operations.
Netting is installed around overhead structures and open areas to create a barrier that blocks bird access. Instead of deterring birds, it prevents them from reaching the areas they rely on.
👉 If birds can’t access it, they can’t be a problem.
Yes. Installations are planned around aircraft movement, maintenance schedules, and facility operations to minimize disruption.
Netting systems can be designed for a wide range of hangar sizes and layouts, including corporate, commercial, and military aviation facilities.
No. Systems are installed using structural attachment points and designed to avoid interference with aircraft, equipment, and ongoing operations.
Commercial-grade netting is built for long-term performance in demanding environments, providing durable protection when properly installed.
Common species include pigeons, house sparrows, and starlings, which commonly roost in overhead hangar structures.
Yes. Similar systems are used in warehouses, parking structures, bridges, and other large overhead environments where birds create ongoing problems.
The process begins with an on-site evaluation to identify bird activity, access points, and structural conditions. A custom solution is then designed to eliminate access and prevent future problems.
