Now that we are coming into early spring, it’s time to think about bird proofing solar panels, ensuring their efficiency and maintenance is tip top for the coming year.
Birds will naturally try to nest underneath your solar panels, especially in early spring. Solar Panels are warm, protected from the elements and provide the perfect, sheltered space for pigeons and other nesting birds.
Nesting Birds Nuisance
Unfortunately, nesting birds can cause a real issue in the long and short term. As our previous blog reveals, birds can be a real nuisance and hard to get rid of. They are noisy – especially as dawn breaks! They can potentially cause the circuits to break as they move around and their foul can be corrosive to the panels.
Once birds have nested underneath your panels, they’ll start to poo on top of them, which naturally reduces the quantity of light that can get through. And once this corrosive foul is on the panels, it cannot be removed by rain alone.
Then you have the other vermin to contend with – the birds’ nesting can be attractive to other pests such as rodents and mites. You do not want this on your roof, in your attic or next to your bedroom window.
The Cost of Nesting Birds
In some cases, the damage from nesting birds under solar panels can be very expensive. In order to protect your solar panels from pigeons and avoid these issues, it’s important to get your solar panels bird-proofed.
To stop birds from nesting under your panels, you will need a professional bird-proofing technician to come and inspect your solar panels, to identify what particular needs you have. We offer this consultation free of charge*
We will identify which solutions you will need and arrange a time that suits you to return. We will ensure that the panels are clean, safe, thoroughly protected and that any nesting birds have been humanely moved on from their nice spot on your roof.
Our cost for this service is highly competitive as we do not have the overheads of most larger pest control agencies. Our main aim is to provide a dedicated and effective service, and we look forward to helping you maintain a peaceful and healthy home structure.
