Pigeons Under Your Solar Panels
It might only be May when you read this article, but summer weather is already here with nearing 100 degrees in Sacramento this week and many homeowners are heading to the backyard pool only to find the sidewalks, BBQ area, and roof cover with pigeon poop.
Pigeons, often termed "rats with wings," can become a significant nuisance when they decide to nest under your solar panels. These birds not only cause damage to the panels but also create health and safety risks. At Gold Country Wildlife Control, we specialize in providing comprehensive pigeon control services in the Sacramento area including cleaning, solar panel exclusions, and blocking off other potential nesting sites.
The Problem with Pigeons Under Solar Panels
Pigeons are attracted to the shelter and warmth that solar panels provide. Once they nest, their droppings can accumulate rapidly, causing a variety of issues:
Damage to Solar Panels: Accumulated droppings can block sunlight, reducing the efficiency of your solar panels. Over time, the acidic nature of pigeon droppings can corrode the surfaces of your panels, leading to costly repairs.
Health Hazards: Pigeon droppings can harbor harmful bacteria and fungi, posing health risks to humans. Additionally, nests and droppings can attract other pests such as mites and insects.
Damage to Gutters and Siding: Pigeon droppings accumulate in gutters and often clog them. Pigeon feces has a pH balance similar to vinegar and will damage paint over time.
Our Comprehensive Pigeon Control Services
Solar Panel Exclusions
Preventing pigeons from accessing the area under your solar panels is the most effective way to protect them. We install high-quality solar panel exclusion kits made from pvc coated hardware cloth around the perimeter of your panels. These barriers are designed to be durable and weather-resistant, ensuring long-term protection. Our exclusions are installed in a way that does not interfere with the performance of your solar panels, maintaining both their efficiency and aesthetic appeal.
Cleaning Services
Our professional cleaning services are designed to safely and effectively remove pigeon droppings and nests from under your solar panels. We use specialized tools and eco-friendly cleaning solutions to ensure the thorough removal of all debris without damaging your solar panels. Regular cleaning not only maintains the efficiency of your solar panels but also mitigates health risks and prevents corrosion.
3. Blocking Off Other Nesting Sites
Pigeons can be persistent and may seek out other nesting sites around your property once access to the solar panels is blocked. We conduct a thorough inspection of your property to identify and address these potential nesting sites. This may include sealing off gaps in eaves, attics, and other sheltered areas. By taking a holistic approach, we ensure that pigeons do not simply relocate their nests to another part of your property.
