Solar Panel Bird Protection & Removal in Calgary
Here at The Pest Control Guy in Calgary, we know how important it is to be environmentally friendly and preserve wildlife – no matter how much of nuisance pigeons and other birds may be. Solar panels provide great source of green energy, but bird nests and even squirrels can cause damage and potential fire hazards from nesting under and around the solar panel.
Our home service solution is to control pigeons and other wildlife from being able to create nests or rest on or near your solar panels. Droppings can significantly reduce a solar panel’s efficiency and requires the use of special cleaners and services to ensure the solar panel is not damaged.
Our Solar Panel Bird Proofing Procedure
At the Pest Control Guy in Calgary, our staff typically provide two types of services to keep pigeons and other nesting animals from making their home under your solar panel. The first method is where we install bird spikes to prevent birds, such as pigeons, from roosting underneath the warm paneling. The spikes do not hurt the birds, they only act as a deterrent to prevent access or the ability to rest on the surface around the solar energy panel to keep the pigeons from perching.
Other services we offer are installing bird mesh and bird netting around the perimeter of the solar panel, or wherever a bird may be able to get in underneath. The netting is made of metal coated to prevent rusting and fastened with clips to the edge of the solar panel. Using a combination of the two provides the best chance of protecting your solar panel from damage and droppings.
Removal of Bird Droppings
The Pest Control Guy
Bird droppings can become a problem when you have solar panels that birds like to roost on your home. Pigeons are normally the culprit. We recommend calling us to bird proof your solar panels, and let a professional tackle cleaning the panels to mitigate any further damage or loss of solar energy efficiency. If your panels are located on your roof instead of the ground, it can be a challenge to clean and install. We use the safest methods for protecting your panels from wildlife, while also protecting our technicians from falls.

Insects Treatments for Solar Panels
Here at the Pest Control Guy in Calgary, we provide many different pest removals and preventions. One service we’re frequently called for is insect infestations. Some of insects that could impact the efficiency of your solar panels are spiders that build webs across the corners of panels. Over time spiders will consume flies and other insects, and the remains will build up on the panel. Another issue can be the webs collecting debris and other insects, making the web full and then resting on the panels, preventing it from optimal energy production. We can remove and delicately clean the debris from your solar panel, returning them to efficient energy production.
Squirrel Proofing Solar Panels
If you see a soft nest or bed in the corner underneath your solar panel or along a support rail, you may have a squirrel nest. Squirrels generally make a bundle of leaves and soft grass to create a bed, we’ve removed many of these and have the tools and equipment to prevent them from coming back. We offer a service that uses live traps and then place them strategically. This way we’re able to ensure squirrels and their young can be transported from your home and relocated safely back into the wild.
Protecting Solar Panels From Rodents
If your solar panels are on the ground, you may find rodents enjoy chewing on wires causing power issues. If wires are run along the ground or just under the surface from each solar panel, mice and voles can nibble away on the protective coating leaving the wire exposed to the elements and short out. We provide vole and mice control, and have the methods to remove them from your yard, protecting your solar panels electrical wires.
