Protect Your Solar Investment with Our Solar Panel Pigeon Proofing Services

Pigeons are carriers of various diseases and parasites that can pose significant health risks to humans. Their droppings contain pathogens and fungi, contaminating surfaces and air quality. Moreover, their feathers and droppings may trigger respiratory problems, especially in individuals with pre-existing conditions such as asthma or allergies, which is why pigeon proofing is so essential to keep your home environment safe and protected.  

At Tom’s Pest Control Sydney, we offer a comprehensive range of solar panel pigeon proofing services tailored to your needs. Our team of highly skilled technicians follows a systematic approach to ensure effective and long-lasting results.

Our Key Services For Pigeon Proofing In Sydney

  • Inspection and Assessment

We begin the process by thoroughly inspecting your property to identify the extent of the pigeon infestation and the factors contributing to its presence. This assessment helps us develop a customized action plan for effective bird control.

  • Deterrent Installation

To discourage pigeons from roosting and nesting on your property, we utilize a variety of humane and non-lethal deterrents. These may include bird spikes, bird netting, and bird wire systems strategically placed to deny access to roosting areas while ensuring the birds’ safety.

  • Exclusion Measures

Physical barriers are sometimes necessary to prevent pigeons from entering specific areas. Our team installs bird-exclusion products such as bird mesh and bird-proofing gels to seal off entry points and restrict access to rooftops, eaves, solar panels, and other vulnerable areas. 

  • Removal and Relocation

If pigeons have already created nests or breeding sites on your property, our trained pigeon bird control professionals will safely remove them and relocate them to a more suitable habitat. This approach ensures compliance with ethical standards and minimises harm to the birds. 

Solar Panel Bird Proofing & Protection 

In addition to our pigeon pest control services in Sydney, Tom’s Pest Control Sydney offers the best solar panel pigeon proofing and protection solutions. Here’s why protecting your solar panels is crucial: 

  • Damage Prevention 

Pigeons and other birds can cause damage to solar panels by nesting underneath them or perching on top. Their droppings can affect the panels’ efficiency, reducing their energy output and potentially causing long-term damage. By implementing our bird-proofing measures, you can safeguard your solar investment and maintain optimal performance. 

  • Fire Hazard Mitigation 

Birds nesting under solar panels can create a fire hazard, especially in dry and hot climates. Dry nesting materials, such as twigs and leaves, combined with the heat generated by the panels, can lead to a potential ignition source. Protecting your solar panels from bird intrusion significantly reduces the risk of fires and ensures the safety of your property. 

  • Extended Lifespan 

Regular bird activity on solar panels can result in scratching, pecking, and other damage to the protective surface. Over time, this wear and tear can compromise the panels’ lifespan, leading to costly repairs or replacements. Here we help you preserve the longevity of your solar panels. 

Why Solar Bird Proofing Sydney is So Important

Wherever you have solar panels, for birds this means protection, shade and nesting spots, so they will always gravitate towards unprotected solar panels. Birds can cause considerable damage to solar panels, including droppings, feathers and nests, which can lead to fires and diseases. In addition, bird nests can impact the efficiency of solar panels which is why it’s crucial to invest in solar panel bird proofing.

Bird proofing solar panels is essential to protect your investment and to keep your solar panels working correctly. There are a number of ways to bird proof your solar panels, including investing in proofing the panels with mesh or also the use of bird spikes. Bird mesh provides a physical barrier that keeps birds from nesting underneath your solar panels, while bird spikes deter birds from landing on other areas such as window ledges or eaves.

Whichever method you choose, bird proofing your solar panels is essential to prevent damage and maintain efficiency.

Damage That Birds Can Cause to Solar Panels

Birds can be a real nuisance when it comes to solar panels and solar panel bird proofing is crucial if you’re wanting to minimise the damage birds can cause. Their droppings can cause a considerable reduction in the effective area for sunlight incidence, and they can also damage your panels’ exterior and interior components. If you’re not careful, bird nesting material and dried droppings can also be potential fire causes. In addition, solar panels can lead to an increase in bird population and thus could be a cause of multiple diseases.

The best way to protect your investment is to bird proof your solar panels  with our Tom’s Pest Control solar panel bird proofing services. There are many different ways to do this, but the most effective method is solar panel pigeon proofing.

This will ensure that birds are not able to nest or roost on your panels, and it will also help to keep their droppings from causing any damage like.

    • Bird droppings can have a significant impact on solar panels, reducing their efficiency and resulting in decreased power generation and profits. The droppings cause a reduction in the effective area for sunlight incidence, meaning that less light is able to reach the solar cells.
    • The acid in bird droppings can eat away at the surface of the panel, causing irreversible damage. In addition, the droppings can block sunlight from reaching the photovoltaic cells, reducing the panel’s efficiency. As a result, it is important to keep panels clean and free of bird droppings. The best way to do this is to hire a professional PV panel-cleaning agency. However, this service can be costly.
    • The nesting material and dried droppings can easily catch fire, causing the solar panel to overheat and potentially catch fire. In addition, if the panel is not regularly cleaned, the build-up of dirt and debris can also create a fire hazard.
    • A new study has found that solar panels may be responsible for an increase in bird population, which could in turn lead to multiple diseases. The study, which was conducted by researchers at the University of Illinois, found that birds are the reason behind at least 60 different diseases.

Effective Bird-proofing Methods to Protect Your Solar Panels

Bird proofing solar panels is essential to prevent damage and consequent loss of investment. There are several ways to bird-proof solar panels, including physical barriers, electrical barriers, and visual deterrents. The most effective method of solar panel bird proofing will vary depending on the location, bird species, and nesting habits. Our bird and pigeon proofing methods include:

      • Bird spikes: If you’re tired of dealing with bird droppings, bird spikes may be the solution you’re looking for. Bird spikes are available in both plastic and stainless steel, and they work by preventing birds from being able to land or nest in the area where they’re installed.
      • Protective barriers: This can be in the form of wire mesh or another similar material that will cover the entire area around the solar panels. The barrier will not only prevent the birds from getting under the solar panels, but it will also discourage them from perching on top of the panels.
      • Gas cannons: The cannon is fired periodically, and the noise scares the birds away. Over time, the birds learn to associate the noise with the presence of humans and will avoid the area altogether.
      • Scareman: These come in the form of an artificial bird of prey with moving wings, making it a convincing deterrent for smaller birds. The scareman is an effective way to keep birds away from areas where they are not welcome, such as businesses or gardens.
      • Eagle eye: These devices reflect sunlight and create light beams. The birds feel them as physical objects and are thus repelled. This method is compelling, because it does not require any netting or chemicals, which can be harmful to the environment.

Birds are an important part of our ecology. However, they can cause serious damage to property and humans. Whether you have one bird living in your home or many, damages can compound and cost you more money.

When birds settle on your roof, they build nests in rain gutters or other drainage system components. If your drainage system is blocked, snow, rain, and ice can build up on your roof, leading to serious problems.

Roofs subject to too much stress can cave in but not before they crack and need expensive repairs.

Leakages and holes can occur when the droppings corrode the rooftops.

  • Participation in projects that require specific permits, such as public access and renovations of historic structures, could be possible.
  • With your site evaluation, you will receive a breakdown of your pricing estimate. This will include travel costs, labour time, equipment rentals, material costs, and other ancillary expenses.

What's The Significance Of Solar Bird Control?

How Do Birds Control Pests?

Birds eat insects for their food and the health of their young. In addition, birds catch large amounts of insect larvae, which are high in protein.

Because insects are so prevalent in nature, it would be impossible to live without them (from human blood to grains). Birds are vital for maintaining and lowering insect populations in natural systems.

Birds are insectivorous and eat caterpillars, beetles, grasshoppers, and other insects. Bluebirds can be brought to your property and used to control pests.

Is Bird Pest Control Safe?

Although harsh pesticides effectively controlled insect infestations, they had disastrous effects on birds and caused them to die. With precise scientific technology, however, it is possible to use medicines that only target a particular insect but are safe for all animals.

use Control Bug Spray confidently, knowing that it is a natural treatment that will eliminate pests but won’t harm your bird.

How Can I Eliminate The Pigeons Living Around My Solar Panels?

Bird mesh is one way to protect your residential solar system from birds. Bird mesh is applied around the perimeter of your array to seal the area beneath the solar panels. It attaches directly to the panels.

Spikes are less appealing to deter birds, but they can be quite effective. Spikes deter birds from perching near solar panels long enough to make a nest or cause much damage.

Plastic birds of prey can be functional, even though they look old. For example, buying a fake owl with a swinging head can be convincing enough to drive birds away. In addition, they make great pigeon protectors for solar panels.

Most often, you will see sparrows and crows near your solar panels. However, you can still take advantage of certain bird species by knowing how to keep away from predatory birds like hawks or owls.

Plastic owls and hawks are available at most hardware and home supply shops. Place the predator bird on your fence or a prominent branch of a neighbouring tree. Many hardware stores and home supply shops sell plastic owls or hawks. Birds can see the fake predators, and they will know where to go.

Many sound devices can be used to discourage birds from touching solar panels. One device emits a high pitch sound so loud that humans can’t hear it, but it will scare away birds.

How Can I Stop Birds From Nesting Under My New Solar Panels?

Bird spikes made of stainless steel are the best way for birds to avoid building nests. The additional strategies and solutions used to protect birds are also effective.

A few inexpensive mirrors can be placed near areas where birds frequently nest to deter them. A longer foil can be hung from trees and eaves to reflect sunlight and attract birds. Your home will attract birds better if it is free of water-filled areas, like birdbaths or pet water bowls.

Keep in mind, however, that it is best to start bird control measures when the solar panels are new or before nuisance birds begin to appear.

What's The Best Bird Deterrent?

If you are looking for the best bird repellent, the Melnor Jet Spray can be a great choice. It also works well as an animal repellent. Po eland Outdoor Laser is a high-quality product that will stop birds from dropping waste all over your yard or patio.

The laser used to scare birds away makes this device a smart choice in dark conditions. The RFLT-1 can move with the wind and shines to deter any birds. This feature is a deterrent by using chrome-plated plates that reflect light.

The American DJ DMX800W strobe light is recommended. It is small and won’t take up much space.
