A DIY and Pro Guide to Bird Control

Of course, let’s discuss bird-proofing. It’s that sweet spot between your love for nature and your sanity. After all, who doesn’t enjoy a good morning bird song? However, it’s time to draw the line when those feathered pals become feathery fiends. Whether you’re a hands-on DIY-er or someone who prefers to call in the pros, bird-proofing can be a surprisingly complex game of wits. Let’s get started.

  • Mesh Screening: The most effective method of bird proofing. You may keep birds from going underneath your solar panels by installing a tiny mesh around their edges. It’s discreet, effective, and doesn’t mess with the aesthetics of your roof. 
  • Spikes and Slopes: No, we’re not setting up a medieval fortress. Bird spikes and sloped barriers create inhospitable landing spots for our feathery friends. After a quick inspection, they will conclude that your neighbor’s exposed panels are a better choice. 
  • Decoy Predators: Ever seen those plastic owls? They’re not just for scaring off rodents. When birds spot these phantom predators, they quickly flee the area. This is bird-style psychological warfare. 
  • Ultrasonic Repellents: These clever devices produce noises that are inaudible to humans but very irritating to birds. It is like an unseen dog bark protecting your panels.
