Solar Proofing

Solar panels are meant to lower your energy bills, not turn into a nesting ground for pigeons, Indian Mynas, seagulls and etc. But across Melbourne, more and more homeowners are finding out the hard way that panels create the perfect shelter for birds: warm, safe, and hidden from view. Once they move in, you’re left dealing with blocked gutters, wires at risk, constant cooing, and droppings that not only look bad but also carry serious health risks. 

At Hire Us 4 Pest Control, we’ve built a specialised service around solving this exact problem. Our solar panel bird proofing solutions in Melbourne are designed to keep birds out for good, while protecting your solar system’s performance. Whether you’ve just noticed pigeons starting to roost or you’ve been putting up with them for years, our solutions are tailored to your home’s layout, so you get long-lasting protection without any damage to your panels or your roof. 

When you book us for solar panel bird proofing in Melbourne, here’s what we actually do: 

1. Inspection: We climb up and check the condition of your panels and look for signs of nesting, droppings, or damage. 
2. Thorough Cleaning: Before any mesh is installed, we clear out nesting material, feathers, and droppings. This step is important for both hygiene and safety. 
3. Sanitisation: Bird droppings can carry bacteria and parasites. We disinfect the area so your roof is left clean and safe. 
4. Mesh Installation: We install high-quality solar panel mesh kits around the perimeter of your panels. These barriers are designed to keep birds out permanently. They’re clipped on securely minus the drilling, so your warranty stays intact. 
5. Final Check: We make sure everything is sealed properly and explain the work done so you have peace of mind. 

Leaving pigeons under your solar panels is more than just an annoyance. It can lead to: 

• Nests trap moisture and heat – which shortens the life of your solar system. 
• Droppings corrode metal and clog gutters – leading to roof and drainage issues. 
• Nesting material near wires – is a genuine fire hazard. 
• Health risks – pigeons carry mites, fleas, and bacteria. 

Investing in our solar panel pigeon proofing now means protecting your home, your health, and the value of your solar investment for years to come.
