Wildlife Safe Bird Netting

Tree netting is a popular way to protect fruit from wildlife, but unfortunately wrong time of Bird Netting can kill or injure animals such as birds, flying - foxes and possums. If the mesh size is too large, it will allow animals to get tangled that can often lead to death. Wildlife Safe Bird Netting has a mesh size of less than 5mm. Tips if you are netting the whole tree:

1. Pull netting tightly over the tree.   Don't allow netting to lie across the ground, where it can entangle and injure other animals.
2. Fix netting tightly to the tree trunk - this will stop rodents from reaching fruit.
3. Make sure to remove old netting that is not protecting fruit. To dispose old netting - place it in a strong plastic bag.
4. Check netted trees every day to ensure the nets are not loose and than no animals are caught.
