Bird control using nets

After years importing Bird netting successful, we are now extending the sales area.

Nelson has a major bird problem, so it is a good area to test and monitor the use of our netting.

Nets have two uses:

  • Ensuring you get a good crop

  • style="font-family:verdana;color:black;font-size:12px">Ensuring high quality fruit

    • Nelson vineyards are often isolated and surrounded by other food sources leading to heavy bird pressure. Other forms of bird control are limited, scaring devices work on a narrow range of birds and may only drive them to the other side of the vineyard. Shooting - the full cost of shooting is often overlooked. Problems arise with nearby houses, traffic and people not to mention broken motorbikes.

    Wax eyes are a problem late in the season, so we require a small mesh size. Width sizes of 4.2m, 5m and 6m, allows floating net (so as not to pickup prunings) to full dropping with a true 6 metre net. You dont have to stretch our net to get the size.

    We recommend a range of measures, netting and scaring devices. Full netting is often used around the outside and especially close to trees.

    Fruit quality - The big benefit of bird netting is improved fruit, small pecks in berries lead to diseased and rotting fruit. No one wants V.A. in their wine. A strong case for the tariff removal could be based on this alone.

    Bird Netting Cost:

  • Cost, we have bought the cost down and are now working for removal of the tariff.

  • Correct netting mesh size for local conditions eg. Wax eyes.

    • Ease of use, our Bird Netting handles well , and we have an easy storage bag. We also sell s wide range netting placement and recovery machines, please ask, we can offer suggestions that may be of use. Nets centre line will be year colour coded to allow you to easily tell a net's age.
