Bird Management - Netting, Spikes, BirdWire, Lasers, Traps | Pest IT – Page 7

Bird management for Australian sites. System-led, welfare-safe, designed for protected birds and pest birds together.

Most Australian birds are protected under state wildlife protection legislation. Lawful bird management is exclusion-led, deterrence-led, never lethal except where specifically permitted under a damage-mitigation permit.

Pest birds (feral pigeons, mynas in some contexts, sparrows on grain sites) may be managed under declared-pest rules in some states and councils, but the deterrence-and-exclusion-first approach applies as the responsible default.

Pest IT systems are supplied with architect-grade specification documents, WHS at height install guidance, and the species-by-species status summary for the operator carrying the permit.

Pest IT's Free Design Service

Pest IT's design team supports the pestie running the bird management, and the facilities or asset manager answering for the site who needs the bird work to back them up.

Spec Your Project

The lawful bird management system is exclusion-led, deterrence-led, and rarely lethal.

Cockatoos in stone fruit. Pigeons on heritage facades. Ibis at hospitality venues. Sparrows in food and grain sites. The species are different, the sites are different, the systems are different, but the state Wildlife Act, the EPBC Act 1999, and POCTA is the same: protected wildlife managed under permit and exclusion.

Pest IT supplies the netting, the spikes, the wire, the track, the deterrents, and the documentation that supports the architect's specification, the operator's audit, and the council's permit. The Magnet Trap live capture system handles the species and sites where lawful trapping applies, with the documentation pack that satisfies declared-pest reporting where it does.

Bird Management FAQs

What is the lawful approach to bird damage on a commercial or agricultural site in Australia?

Most Australian birds are protected under state wildlife legislation, so the lawful program is exclusion (netting, spikes, wire, track) and deterrence (laser, kites, visual deterrents). Live capture and dispatch are limited to specific declared-pest rules and sometimes require a permit. Pest IT supplies the state-by-state status.

Which AvePro netting gauge for which bird species?

19mm net for sparrows, mynas, starlings, and other small birds. 50mm net for pigeons, ibis, gulls, and larger birds. Heavy-Duty net for high-pressure commercial sites and longer warranty periods. The Free Design Service maps gauge to species and substrate.

Can I use AvePro Bird Spikes for cockatoos in stone fruit?

Spikes work for ledge denial on built structures (parapets, signage, ledges), not for orchards or open ground. Cockatoos in stone fruit are addressed with multi-season fruit netting, AvePro Max Agricultural Laser, and bird scarer kites. Different system, same the state Wildlife Act, the EPBC Act 1999, and POCTA.

What does the architect's specification document include for bird exclusion?

Performance specs (UV stability, mesh gauge, knot count), warranty terms, NCC reference, BCA fixing reference, substrate compatibility notes, and approved installer schedule. The Architect's Specification Library carries the full clause language for tender work.

Do AvePro netting systems require an Approved Installer?

AvePro netting can be installed by any competent trade installer working to the install instructions, but Approved Installer status is recommended for warranty depth, large commercial spans, and tender-grade documentation. The Pest IT Free Design Service maps the install approach for any site.

How long does multi-season AvePro netting last in Australian conditions?

AvePro Bird Netting is rated and warrantied for 10 years. Pre-stretched, heat-set, and built for Australian UV and salt. Heavy-Duty is rated for high-pressure commercial sites with the same warranty depth.

System-led bird management for commercial, agricultural, and residential sites. Netting, spikes, BirdWire, shock track, lasers, scarer kites, and live capture. Welfare-safe across protected and pest birds.

Bird management on Australian sites runs to a different rule book because most species are protected under state wildlife legislation. The work is exclusion and deterrence, not the chemical or lethal habits of older programs.

Pest IT systems for bird management cover the spectrum. AvePro Bird Netting for full physical exclusion. AvePro Bird Spikes for ledge denial. AvePro BirdWire for signage and exposed perimeters. AvePro Shock Track for parapet edges where netting cannot reach. Lasers and scarer kites for orchard and large-area deterrence. Magnet Trap live capture where the species, state, and permit context allow.

All warrantied for Australian conditions. All supplied with the documentation pack architects, operators, and councils need.

Bird management on Australian commercial, agricultural, and residential sites runs to a different rule book than legacy bird management. Most native birds are protected under state wildlife protection legislation, which means the lawful program is exclusion-led, deterrence-led, and rarely lethal except where specifically permitted under a damage-mitigation permit. The work is system-led, not casual.

Pest IT supplies the full system spectrum for bird management. AvePro Bird Netting handles full physical exclusion on heritage facades, commercial buildings, food sites, and orchards. The 19mm gauge stops sparrows, mynas, starlings, and other small birds. The 50mm gauge handles pigeons, ibis, gulls, and larger species. Heavy-Duty grades stand up to high-pressure commercial sites and carry a 10-year warranty across Australian conditions.

AvePro Bird Spikes deny landing surfaces on ledges, parapets, and signage. AvePro BirdWire handles exposed perimeters, signage runs, and lengths where netting is impractical. AvePro Shock Track addresses parapet edges where the bird pressure is high and the substrate is hostile to fixings. AvePro Solar Mesh keeps birds out of rooftop solar arrays without compromising panel access for maintenance.

For deterrence at orchard scale or large open areas, the AvePro Max Agricultural and Industrial Bird Deterrent Laser handles cockatoos, ibis, gulls, and other birds where exclusion is impractical. AvePro Bird Scarer Kites add visual deterrence over crops during ripening windows. Eagle Eye visual deterrents complement the laser and kite work where reflection and movement carry the deterrent signal.

Where lawful, the Magnet Trap range provides live capture for declared and permitted species: the Pigeon Magnet Trap on commercial rooftops, the Mini Myna Magnet Trap for council Indian Myna programs, the Sparrow Magnet Trap on grain sites. Each trap is supplied with the documentation pack that satisfies declared-pest reporting where it applies.

The Pest IT Free Design Service maps the system mix for any site, cross-checks the substrate-and-fixing strategy, and supplies the documentation set the architect needs for specification, the operator needs for audit, and the council needs for permit. Browse by pest, by system, or by brand from the related collections, or send a site through to specify it with us.
