Netting, Spiking & Deterrent Systems Installed via Rope Access

Pest birds are more than a nuisance — they cause real damage to commercial buildings. Pigeon fouling corrodes facades, blocks drains, and creates serious health and liability risks for building owners and managers. At Alltech Abseilers, we deliver professional bird proofing solutions across Brisbane using rope access — no scaffolding, no boom lifts, minimal disruption, and results that last.

As IRATA certified rope access specialists and QBCC licensed tradespeople, our team installs bird netting, bird spikes, and deterrent systems at any height on any building. We’re not just blokes on ropes — we’re qualified tradesmen trusted by Queensland’s biggest builders.


Our Bird Proofing Services

Bird Spiking

Bird spikes are the most effective long-term solution for stopping pigeons and large pest birds from landing or nesting on ledges, sills, parapets, beams, and signage. Our stainless steel spike systems physically prevent birds from landing — a proven, humane method that doesn’t harm birds but eliminates the problem permanently.

High-rise bird spike installation isn’t a job for a ladder or a scissor lift. The only safe and practical access solution for multi-storey buildings is rope access. Our IRATA certified team descends directly to the affected surfaces, installs professional-grade spike strips, and leaves your building clean and bird-free — with zero disruption to tenants below.

Suitable for: Window ledges, parapets, fascia beams, signage, plant room edges, air conditioning units, architectural features
Best for: Pigeons, ibis, seagulls, and other large pest birds


Bird Netting

Commercial bird netting creates a physical barrier that denies birds access to roof voids, building cavities, plant rooms, undercover carparks, loading docks, and open architectural features. When installed correctly, professional netting is virtually invisible from ground level — protecting your building without compromising its appearance.

We install UV-resistant, commercial-grade netting systems tensioned to the correct specification for each application. Properly installed bird netting is a set-and-forget solution — no ongoing maintenance, no rebaiting, no guesswork.

Suitable for: Roof voids, carparks, loading docks, open eaves, A/C plant enclosures, building cavities
Best for: Pigeons, starlings, swallows, sparrows, and smaller nesting birds


Gel Deterrents & Other Systems

For surfaces where netting and spikes aren’t practical — window frames, light fittings, small ledges, architectural details — we apply bird repellent gel systems that make surfaces uncomfortable for birds to land on. Gel systems are discreet and effective for targeted problem areas.

We’ll inspect your building and recommend the right system, or a combination of systems, based on the specific bird species, building type, and level of infestation. No one-size-fits-all solutions.


Case Study: Ipswich College — Pigeon Spike Installation

A multi-storey education facility in Ipswich had a serious pigeon problem. Hundreds of birds were landing and nesting on window ledges across multiple levels of the building, causing significant fouling on the facade, windows, and ground-level areas below. The accumulated mess created hygiene concerns for students and staff and was causing long-term damage to the render and glazing.

Alltech Abseilers descended the full height of the building via rope access and installed stainless steel bird spike strips along every affected ledge — multiple rows per sill to completely eliminate perching space. The job was completed with no disruption to college operations, no scaffolding, and no boom lifts. Within days, pigeon activity on the building had ceased entirely.

Why Rope Access for Bird Proofing?

Most commercial buildings above 3 storeys are inaccessible without specialist equipment. Your options are typically scaffolding (expensive, slow, disruptive), boom lifts (limited reach, can’t access all facades), or rope access. For bird proofing specifically, rope access wins every time:

  • Access anywhere on any facade — recessed ledges, inset windows, irregular building profiles, angled surfaces
  • No scaffolding costs — typically 40–60% cheaper than a scaffold solution for the same job
  • No disruption to tenants or operations — our setup requires only inconspicuous anchor points on the roof
  • Fast mobilisation — we can typically be on-site within days, not weeks
  • Precise installation — our team positions directly at the work face, ensuring every spike strip and net section is installed correctly
