ANTINOX

Service

Bird Control

Bird control is the installation of anti-pigeon systems — netting, stainless steel spikes, tensioned wires — to protect buildings long-term. Pigeon droppings (pH 3–4.5) degrade concrete and stone within a few years. 10-year guarantee on installations.

Why Antinox

Deterrence, not elimination

Lasting

Permanent systems

Netting, spikes and tensioned wires physically prevent roosting. Once properly installed, they last for years without maintenance.

Health

Cleaning and disinfection

Pigeon droppings contain pathogens. We carry out a complete cleanup and a disinfectant treatment before installing the systems.

Discreet

Invisible installation

Our systems blend into the façade without spoiling the building's aesthetics. Techniques used on public buildings and listed heritage.

Our protocol

Four steps, permanent results

  1. 01

    Diagnosis

    Mapping of roosting and nesting areas. Assessment of density and impact on the building.

  2. 02

    Cleaning

    Removal of droppings and nests with a disinfectant treatment against pathogens.

  3. 03

    Installation

    Fitting of the appropriate systems: netting, anti-roosting spikes, tensioned wires or repellent gel depending on the surface.

  4. 04

    Maintenance

    Optional annual check to guarantee the systems' long-term effectiveness.

Frequently asked questions

Bird control

Are pigeons really pests?

Yes. Their droppings are acidic and degrade façades, roofs and equipment. They contain pathogens (salmonella, chlamydia) and pose a real health risk.

How long do anti-roosting systems last?

UV-polyethylene anti-pigeon nets last 10 to 15 years. Stainless steel spikes are guaranteed rust-free for 10 years. We use only rustproof materials. An annual inspection ensures long-term effectiveness.

Is it legal to deter pigeons?

Yes. Passive deterrence (netting, spikes, wires) is perfectly legal in Belgium. It does not harm the birds — it simply stops them from roosting. We comply with Belgian bird protection legislation.

Do you work with co-owned buildings and property managers?

Yes. We regularly work with property managers and building administrators. We provide a complete intervention report with before/after photos.

Why are pigeon droppings dangerous?

Pigeon droppings have a pH of 3 to 4.5 — as acidic as vinegar. They degrade concrete, zinc and limestone within a few years. They also carry salmonellosis, chlamydiosis and cryptococcosis. 1 pigeon pair produces 2 to 6 broods per year — an untreated colony grows 30 to 50% per season.

What is the lifespan of the installed systems?

Our UV-resistant polyethylene pigeon nets last 10 to 15 years. The stainless steel spikes and tensioned wires are guaranteed rust-free for 10 years. All systems comply with Belgian wildlife protection regulations (law of 12 July 1973).
