Description
Wildlife Friendly Bird Netting has a mesh size of less than 5mm. Bird netting with a mesh size larger than 10mm is a risk for animals to be easily caught in, and responsible for the deaths of many bats, birds, possums, snakes, and other wildlife. Prevention of Cruelty to Animals laws propose all household fruit netting: “must-have mesh size of 5mm x 5mm or less at full stretch, and have a strand diameter of no less than 500 microns”. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) said if netting was not used in the correct manner it could pose a serious risk to animals such as flying foxes, birds, possums, and even snakes. It said animals could die from strangulation, blood loss, shock, or dehydration.
