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.

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.

Aircraft hangars provide ideal nesting and roosting conditions:

Why Bird Netting Is Critical for Aircraft Hangars

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.

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.

Care Taken To Make Sure All Hardware And Net Installed Correctly

These Hangars Protect Planes Worth A Lot Of Money And Birds Can Damage Those Investments

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is hangar bird netting?

Hangar bird netting is a physical exclusion system installed to prevent birds from accessing interior and exterior areas of aircraft hangars and similar structures. It protects rafters, trusses, and overhead spaces where birds often roost.

Why is bird netting important for hangars?

Birds in hangars create sanitation and safety issues. Droppings damage surfaces, contaminate equipment, and create slip hazards. Netting keeps birds out of overhead areas, protecting assets and reducing ongoing maintenance.

Which bird species are commonly excluded with hangar netting?

The most common species controlled in hangar environments include pigeons, house sparrows, European starlings, and seagulls. These birds roost in open overhead structures and can form large, persistent groups.

Can bird netting be installed without interfering with operations?

Yes. Netting installations are coordinated with facility management to minimize disruption to aircraft movement, maintenance workflows, and daily operations.

How does hangar bird netting work?

Hangar bird netting is installed structurally around high-risk areas like ceilings, trusses, rafters, and open bays. It forms a physical barrier that blocks bird access while maintaining full operational clearance.

Is netting suitable for all types of hangars?

Professional netting systems can be customized for virtually any hangar size and layout, including large corporate hangars, commercial maintenance hangars, and military aviation facilities.

Does bird netting damage hangar structures or equipment?

No. When installed by trained professionals, bird netting is anchored safely to existing structural points and designed to avoid contact with aircraft or equipment while remaining durable and long-lasting.

How long does hangar netting last?

Commercial-grade bird netting is engineered to withstand industrial environments, UV exposure, and climate conditions typical of Midwest states. With proper installation, it provides long-term protection.

Do you provide netting solutions for other large overhead structures?

Yes. In addition to hangars, similar netting systems are used in warehouses, bridges, terminals, parking garages, and other large overhead facilities where birds create problems.

How do facilities get started with hangar bird netting?

The process begins with a site assessment to evaluate bird pressure, structural layout, and access points. From there, a tailored netting plan is developed and installed for maximum exclusion and operational efficiency.
