Our services

We provide solar panel pigeon proofing, whole home pigeon control, and solar panel cleaning in Phoenix, AZ to protect your home from damage and mess caused by pigeons.

Whole-Home Bird Proofing

Bird problems are not limited to solar panels. Pigeons commonly roost and nest on rooflines, ledges, eaves, vents, and shaded overhangs.

We install:

• Bird spikes on ledges and roof edges

• Custom screening for roof overhangs and openings

• Physical exclusion barriers for common nesting areas

This prevents birds from landing, nesting, or returning to your property.

Solar Panel Bird Proofing

Pigeons often nest under solar panels because the space provides shade, shelter, and protection from predators. This leads to droppings buildup, nesting debris, and potential damage to wiring and system efficiency.

We install professional-grade bird-proof mesh around the edges of solar panels to fully block access underneath the system. This solution is non-invasive, does not damage your panels, and is designed for long-term protection.

If birds have already started nested on your home or leaving droppings, we provide cleanup services to remove:

• Bird droppings

• Nesting materials

• Debris buildup under solar panels and around the home

Severe cases may also include disinfecting affected areas to restore cleanliness and safety before bird proofing is installed.

Bird Nest and Mess Cleanup

Solar Panel Cleaning

Dirty solar panels can lose 10–25% or more in energy efficiency, especially when covered with dust or bird droppings.

Our professional cleaning service safely removes buildup using non-abrasive methods and reverse-osmosis water to help restore performance and protect your investment.

Frequently asked questions

Do pigeons damage solar panels?
Yes. Pigeons nest underneath solar panels, where they leave droppings and debris that can reduce efficiency, damage wiring, and create long-term roof issues if not addressed.

How does solar panel bird proofing work?
We install a durable mesh barrier around the edges of your solar panels to block birds from getting underneath—without drilling into or damaging the system.

Will bird proofing void my solar panel warranty?
No. Our installation method is designed to protect your panels without affecting manufacturer warranties.

How long does bird proofing last?
Our bird-proofing systems are built to last for years in the Phoenix climate and are designed as a long-term solution—not a temporary fix.

Will the pigeons come back?
Once properly installed, bird proofing prevents pigeons from accessing the space under your panels, stopping the nesting cycle. The pigeons that have already built nests may hang around for a few days or even weeks, but they eventually move on.

Do I need to clean bird droppings and nests out from under solar panels?

Yes. Nests, droppings, and debris must be removed before bird proofing because buildup can trap bacteria, cause odors, and block airflow under the panels, which may affect performance and lead to damage. Proper bird proofing includes full cleanup, sanitizing, and then installing a barrier to prevent the problem from returning.
