Many homeowners in the Las Vegas valley discover that pigeons frequently nest under rooftop solar panels and roof tiles. These elevated areas provide convenient shelter for pigeons to build their nests away from ground-level activity. Once pigeons settle in these spaces, their droppings and nesting debris build up quickly along the roofline and under the equipment.
Why pigeons nest on residential roofs
Pigeons naturally seek out elevated spaces on residential properties, and they very often nest under rooftop solar panels and roof tiles. The shadowed space between the solar panels and the roof surface provides an ideal location for them to build nests. When pigeons inhabit these areas, they bring in twigs, feathers and other nesting materials. As a result, droppings and nesting debris build up quickly under the arrays and along the edges. Identifying this pigeon activity early helps you address the problem before the accumulation of debris becomes severe. Our technicians inspect your roof to determine the full extent of the pigeon activity.
How mesh screening keeps pigeons out
To address pigeons living under your solar equipment, we offer specific physical exclusion services. Our trained technicians install mesh screening around the solar panels. This mesh screening around panels keeps them out of the protected space beneath the array. By closing off the open gap between the solar panels and the roof tiles, we remove their preferred nesting location. The screening process covers the entire outer perimeter of your solar array. We place the mesh securely so pigeons cannot push their way underneath the panels to roost.
Ledge and roofline exclusion services
In addition to solar panel screening, pigeons often gather on other structural parts of the home. They may roost on ledges and the roofline. To address these resting areas, we offer ledge and roofline exclusion. Our technicians inspect the exterior of your home to find where pigeons rest during the day or gather in the evening. We install exclusion materials on these specific ledges to keep pigeons from landing and roosting there. Combining roofline exclusion with solar panel screening provides a complete approach to pigeon control on your property.
Services our technicians do not provide
To set clear expectations for our customers, we define the scope of our pigeon control services before we begin any work. We focus strictly on installing physical exclusion materials like mesh screening and ledge modifications. Our services do not include fecal cleanup, pressure washing or sanitizing services. We do not wash residential roofs or wash solar panels. If you need nesting debris or droppings cleaned from your roof or solar panels, you will need to arrange for a cleanup service separate from our exclusion work. We recommend handling any necessary cleanup either before or after our technicians install the mesh screening.
Arranging a pigeon control walk-through
If pigeons are gathering on your roof tiles or nesting under your solar panels, contact our office to request a service visit. You can submit a request through our website, and our office staff will reply during regular business hours, usually the same business day, to confirm an appointment date. Our technician performs a property walk-through to evaluate the pigeon activity and measure the areas needing exclusion. After the walk-through, we provide a recommendation and a clear quote for the job. You see and approve the price before any installation work begins.
