Exclusion and Proofing Systems - Bird Netting, Mesh, Sealing

Physical exclusion is where bird management starts. Netting, mesh, and structural sealing engineered for Australian conditions.

Use our free design service to map your Bird Management job for a specific site or use case.

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

Exclusion is the lawful default. Build the structure to deny access.

Bird management starts with denying access to the structure. Spikes, wire, and track address ledges and parapets. Netting addresses facades, courtyards, and architectural openings. Solar Mesh addresses rooftop arrays. Gutter protection addresses cavities and roof voids.

The Pest IT Free Design Service maps the exclusion system mix against the building, the substrate-and-fixing strategy against the install context, and the architect-grade specification documentation against the tender or quote. Built so the exclusion holds first time, every time, across the warranty period.

Most Australian birds are protected under state wildlife protection legislation. Exclusion-led management works within that frame as a non-lethal, non-trapping approach.

Exclusion installations are governed by WHS at height regulations. AvePro netting and exclusion hardware is supplied with install guidance, fixing specifications, and the architect-grade documentation set.

Spikes and netting carry 10-year warranties. Coastal and hospital environments use 316 stainless variants where specified.

Exclusion & Proofing Systems Frequently Asked Questions

When does exclusion fit a site versus deterrence-only?

Exclusion fits where the structure can be physically closed off (facades, ledges, parapets, rooftop arrays, gutters). Deterrence fits where exclusion is impractical (orchard rows, large open areas, marine assets, hospitality outdoor spaces). Most sites use both: exclusion on the structure, deterrence on adjacent open areas.

What netting gauge for which species?

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

Are AvePro Bird Spikes considered exclusion or deterrence?

Spikes deny landing surfaces, which is technically deterrence (denying preference) rather than exclusion (denying access). In practice the categories overlap: spikes are featured in both Exclusion and Deterrence Systems because they prevent bird presence on the surface.

What is in the architect specification document for 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.

Does AvePro Solar Mesh require Approved Installer status?

Solar Mesh can be installed by any competent trade installer working to the install instructions. Approved Installer status is recommended for warranty depth on commercial solar arrays and for tender-grade documentation.

What WHS standards apply to netting installation at height?

Working at height regulations apply across all states. Pest IT supplies the safety guidance for netting, spike, BirdWire, and Shock Track installation. Trade and Trade+ training includes the WHS frame for AvePro install work.

Physical exclusion systems for bird management on commercial, agricultural, and heritage sites. Bird netting, Solar Mesh, gutter protection, structural sealing.

Exclusion is the foundational layer of bird management on Australian sites, where most species are protected under state wildlife legislation. The lawful program is exclusion-led. Physical exclusion stops bird access to the structure without lethal action and without compromising the state Wildlife Act, the EPBC Act 1999, and POCTA.

AvePro Bird Netting in 19mm and 50mm gauges, plus Heavy-Duty for high-pressure commercial sites, all carry a 10-year warranty across Australian UV and salt conditions. AvePro Solar Mesh keeps birds out of rooftop solar arrays. Gutter protection systems add the cavity exclusion layer.

Used on commercial buildings, food production sites, hospitality venues, agricultural orchards and vineyards, heritage facades, and any structure where bird access creates damage, contamination, or compliance risk.

Exclusion and Proofing Systems is the canonical home for physical bird exclusion in the Pest IT range. Most Australian birds are protected under state wildlife protection legislation, which means the lawful program is exclusion-led, deterrence-led, and rarely lethal. Physical exclusion is the foundational layer.

AvePro Bird Netting is the flagship exclusion product. The 19mm gauge stops sparrows, mynas, starlings, and other small birds. The 50mm gauge handles pigeons, ibis, gulls, and larger species. Heavy-Duty grade stands up to high-pressure commercial sites and carries the same 10-year warranty against material and manufacturing defects.

AvePro Bird Spikes deny landing surfaces on ledges, parapets, signage, and any built structure where birds are unwanted. 304 stainless for general work, 316 stainless for coastal, hospital, and food handling environments. AvePro BirdWire handles signage runs and exposed perimeters. AvePro Shock Track addresses parapet edges where the bird pressure is high.

AvePro Solar Mesh keeps birds out of rooftop solar arrays without compromising panel access for maintenance. Used on residential, commercial, and agribusiness solar installations across Australia. Gutter protection systems add the cavity exclusion layer for sites where roof voids and cavity access creates the bird pressure.

Architect-grade specification documentation supports tender work and BOQ language. The Pestie's Substrate and Fixing Decision Card maps the right fixing onto every common substrate. Pest IT supplies the working-at-height guidance for safe installation and the state-by-state status for protected species.

For pesties scoping commercial, residential, agricultural, or heritage bird exclusion, and architects specifying exclusion into BOQ and tender packages, the Pest IT Free Design Service maps the exclusion mix against the building, the substrate-and-fixing strategy against the install context, and the architect-grade specification documentation against the tender. Built so the exclusion holds first time, every time, across the warranty period.
