Bird Control Services Photo Album: Solar Panels Getting Ruined by Pigeons in Waretown, NJ
Roof and Solar Panels Getting Damaged
The pigeons were using the solar panels as a natural cover and protection from the elements. They were also pooping all over the solar panels and the roof. Pigeon droppings are not only hazardous to your health, but they also eat away almost any substrate, particularly tar-based roofing material. A constant accumulation of pigeon droppings can cut the life expectancy of a roof in half!
Disinfect and Then Install
First, we carefully removed all the nesting debris underneath the solar panels and then disinfected the areas with a solution that targets bird mites. Bird mites are parasites that feed on the blood of birds and are the main reason why extreme care is needed when removing a nest. Next, in order to prevent the pigeons, (as well as all nuisance wildlife) from nesting underneath the solar panels, we installed our solar panel exclusion kit around the entire perimeter of the solar panels.
Solar Panel Exclusion
This kit creates a physical barrier to keep birds from accessing and nesting in the area beneath the solar arrays, protecting the roof and equipment from damage.
Solar Panels Are Protected
Now that the pigeons have nowhere to nest they'll no longer be attracted to the home and the solar panels will be protected from further intrusions from all types of birds and nuisance wildlife.
