Bird Proofing & Pigeon
Deterrent Services
Protect your solar panels, roof, and property from costly bird damage across the High Desert.
⚠️ Pigeons nesting under solar panels can cause $10,000+ in damage to wiring, panels, and roofing. Don't wait until it's too late.
Why Pigeons & Birds Are a Serious Problem for High Desert Homeowners
The High Desert's warm climate and abundant solar installations make it prime nesting territory for pigeons. The gap between your roof and solar panels is the perfect sheltered spot — and once birds move in, the damage begins immediately:
- ✓ Wiring damage: Birds chew through low-voltage wiring, causing shorts, system failures, and fire hazards
- ✓ Panel soiling: Concentrated droppings create hot spots, etch glass, and can permanently reduce output
- ✓ Roof damage: Nesting material traps moisture, attracting mold and accelerating shingle degradation
- ✓ Uric acid corrosion: Bird droppings are highly acidic, corroding metal racking, roof flashing, and panel frames
- ✓ Health hazards: Pigeon droppings carry histoplasmosis and other respiratory pathogens
- ✓ Noise & nuisance: Active nests create constant cooing, scratching, and debris on your roof

Bird Proofing FAQ
No. Our critter guard systems clip to the panel frame with non-penetrating clips — no drilling through panels, no contact with cells or glass. The method is compatible with all major manufacturer warranties including SunPower, Enphase, LG, and Panasonic.
A standard residential solar array takes 2–4 hours for complete critter guard installation. Larger systems or properties with significant existing nest removal may take longer. We'll give you a time estimate along with your quote.
The mesh is low-profile and matches the dark color of panel frames — it's virtually invisible from ground level. Your panels will look the same as before, just without any gaps for birds to enter.
We handle active nests first — removing nesting material, sanitizing, and disinfecting before installing the bird proofing system. We'll also let you know of any wiring or panel damage we notice that your solar installer should address.
Yes! We install bird spike systems on gutters, ledges, rooflines, fences, and commercial HVAC equipment throughout the High Desert. Pigeon control for commercial properties (storefronts, warehouses, shopping centers) is also available.
