DeWitt Bird Barricade

The 1/4-inch mesh is designed primarily to deter birds and larger garden pests. While it may block some larger insects, it is not a fine-mesh insect screen and will not prevent smaller bugs from reaching your plants.

Yes, the polyethylene material is durable and can be cut to size with standard scissors. Because it is a mesh construction, it will not fray or unravel after you make your cuts.

The netting is lightweight, so you will need to anchor the edges firmly. We recommend using garden staples, anchor pins, or zip ties to secure the perimeter tightly against the soil or around the base of your plants.

No, the mesh is designed to be permeable. It allows sunlight, air, and water to pass through freely, ensuring your plants continue to grow healthily while remaining protected.

This is a humane deterrent. The 1/4-inch mesh size is small enough that birds generally see it as a solid barrier and avoid it, rather than trying to fly through and getting their wings or feet caught.

To maximize the life of the UV-treated material, shake off any debris, fold it loosely, and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Proper storage will keep the polyethylene from becoming brittle over time.
