Solar panels can attract pigeons and other birds to your home. Birds love the shelter the panels provide from the elements, serving as a perfect location to nest and raise their young away from most of their predators. Bird proofing mesh has proven to be the best method to stop birds from nesting.
Why do Pigeons nesting under Solar Panels pose a problem?
Here are some of the common problems humans face when pigeons start nesting under their solar panels:
- Pigeons are known carries of disease and lice along with their droppings which contain more than 60 pathogens and diseases such as E.Coli and Salmonella all of which pose serious health risks to us humans. Once their droppings become dry they become dust like and airborne meaning we as humans are breathing these pathogens into our airways which can make us dangerously sick.
- Pigeons are very noisy, especially their young ones. People living and sleeping in rooms directly under the roof find the sounds of pigeons day and night very irritating and non forgiving.
- Pigeons defecate in and around their nests which causes staining and damage to the roof itself.
- The overall build-up of their faeces can damage expensive solar panels because bird faeces are very corrosive. They can also build up on the solar panels and compromise their efficiency.
- Nesting materials and bird faeces accumulating under the Solar Panels blocks the overall free flow of water to be able to run down into your gutters. Gutters also become blocked and damaged causing in house water leaks.
- Birds, Bird faeces and their nests also attract other pests such as cockroaches and rodents.
