Birds may be pretty, but pigeons in Andheri aren’t doing you or your family any favors. From health hazards to property damage to daily inconveniences, pigeon problems are far worse than most families realise. There are telltale signs you can look for that point to a pigeon problem and many of them apply to you. But there’s no reason to wait until your balcony is covered in bird droppings or your kids are too scared to play outside. Bird nets in Andheri exist for a reason, they are permanent, effective, and completely bird-safe. If any of these signs apply to you and your family, it’s time to take control of your pigeon problem. Once you install bird nets in Andheri, you and your family can reclaim your outdoor space.
Sign 1: You Find Bird Droppings on Your AC Unit Every Morning
If you haven’t faced this problem yet, consider yourself lucky. Bird droppings on your AC is both one of the earliest signs and one of the most serious. Highly acidic, pigeon poop eats away at the metal of AC condenser fins, obstructs airflow, and makes your unit work overtime. You’ll pay more in electricity bills, spend more money on servicing, and shorten the lifespan of an AC that costs you thousands of rupees. Stop asking why your AC guzzles so much electricity and contact Raj Nets today most AC service technicians in Andheri will tell you the same thing: pigeons are the number one cause of premature AC damage in Mumbai apartment complexes. Bird nets in Andheri or a mesh guard that goes around your outdoor unit will protect your AC from harm.
Sign 2: You See Nests Appearing on Your Balcony, Get Balcony Bird Nets in Andheri
After they’ve begun frequenting your balcony for meals and nesting material, pigeons will attempt to nest often right on your balcony floor or railing. A pigeon nest in your balcony is bad news. Parasitic mites, ticks, and lice nestle into the fibres of the nesting material and easily make their way indoors. Nobody wants to clean pigeon nests off their balcony floor every month, particularly during the monsoon when wet nesting material becomes a foul-smelling health hazard. Many housing societies in Andheri consider uncovered nests to be an offence, inviting formal complaints from your neighbours and building committee. Balcony bird nets in Andheri create a sealed barrier that prevents any bird from landing on your balcony floor stopping nests before they start without harming birds of any kind.
Sign 3: You Tried Spikes Once, Birds Came Right Back. You Need Pigeon Nets in Andheri.
Nothing against bird spikes they do what they promise. But birds are smart. Pigeons learn to navigate around spikes. They build nests on top of them, they sit on ledges next to the spikes. Gel repellents wear off. Birds don’t stick around for ultrasonic devices when there are thousands of square feet of outdoor space to explore. Bird nets in Andheri work by denying pigeons access to your balcony altogether. There’s no rooftop terrace or fire escape staircase they can fly to once they realise nets block their path. Pigeon nets remain one of the most effective long-term solutions to pigeon problems in Andheri.
Sign 4: Pigeon Feathers & Dust Are Getting into Your Home
Pigeons are walking (or flying) dust baths. Their feathers contain allergenic fungal spores and bacteria that can trigger asthma, allergies, and pneumonia. When the feathers get broken down through nesting, wear and tear, moult the fine dust that’s released enters your home through open windows. You don’t see it, but your kids may be carrying pigeon feather dust around on their clothes and back into the house every day. Psittacosis is an airborne bacterial infection spread by pigeons. It causes fever, chest pain, and pneumonia, and can be deadly. Prevent birds and the diseases they carry from entering your home by installing bird nets in Andheri.
Sign 5: Your Balcony Laundry Gets Soiled as Soon as You Hang It Out
If you’ve lived in Mumbai for more than a year, you’ve dealt with this problem. Birds invade your outdoor space and make a hobby of ensuring every last piece of laundry you own is covered in droppings before you can use it. If you’re washing twice what you normally would because of pigeon droppings on your clothes, that’s money and litres of water going straight down the drain. Bird droppings contain all of the above bacteria and fungi that we’ve talked about so wiping pigeon poop off of your clothes before wearing them is sort of… gross. Install bird nets in Andheri and get balconies as dryspace back.
Sign 6: Kids and Pets Are Being Asked to Stay Inside or Off the Balcony
Outdoor space in a Mumbai apartment is prime real estate. When pigeons take it away from you with their droppings, nests, and filthy feathers littering everything you own outdoors, you may as well give it up. Parents who used to let their children play on the balcony keep them inside instead. Dog walkers keep pets away so they don’t have to wipe down bird bacteria onto their pups and kittens. Families stop enjoying drinks on the balcony in the morning. This is yet another pigeon problem that’s presented as ‘normal life in Mumbai.’ It isn’t. Bird nets in Andheri help you reclaim your balcony. With nets installed, the birds won’t be able to touch your balcony without you touching them first every single time.
Sign 7: Birds Got Gone Away From Your Balcony Once You Put Up Nets, Now They’re Everywhere Else
This is the only sign that applies to you if your neighbour and not you had bird nets installed. Birds aren’t going to avoid the entire building because of a net on your balcony. If anything, they’ll come inside and congregate on the nearest unprotected balcony. If your neighbours installed bird nets Andheri a week ago and you suddenly notice birds on your balcony every morning, they’ve come from next door. Bird nets work best when every flat on a floor or in a building gets them installed. Raj Nets has experience with fitting bird nets across all balconies in Andheri buildings solving your pigeon problem for good and keeping them away from your neighbours too.
