Safe & Humane Bird Removal


How We Get Rid of Problem Birds

Using Net Capture solutions to manage bird populations in railroad yards, airports and other worksites offers a practical and humane way to address a complex challenge. Birds in rail yards and airports can pose risks to both their own safety and yard operations. By using nets to trap and remove them, facilities can control bird populations without resorting to harmful methods like poisons or lethal traps.

This method is particularly effective because it targets specific areas where birds tend to gather, reducing unintended impacts on other wildlife and the surrounding ecosystem. It also provides a humane approach, allowing captured birds to be relocated to safer habitats where they wont interfere with railroad and airport operations.

Trapping birds with nets can deliver several key benefits:

  • Protecting Infrastructure: It helps prevent bird-related damage, such as nesting in critical areas or corrosion caused by droppings.

  • Promoting Sustainability: This approach supports better environmental management, creating a safer and more sustainable environment for both wildlife and human activities

Net Capture Solutions offer an ethical and effective strategy for managing bird populations in rail yards, airports and industrial settings. We strike a balance between wildlife conservation and operational needs of these facilities.

Testimonial

I am the elevator superintendent at the Spokane, WA 438 location. I want to share something that we have found very valuable in controlling our problem pigeon population. We as a company called Industrial Bird Solutions to capture all of our pigeons at this location, they are CDMS complaint. Gregg Mourges, the owner of Industrial Bird Solutions used a net system to capture 300+ birds at one time. The birds are loaded alive into crates and taken away from the site permanently. We have had great results using him to control our pigeon population, and his price is very reasonable!
