Solar panels can be an expensive investment and as such they require professional protection and maintenance. When considering the risks to solar panels, you may not think of the damage that can be caused by pest birds.
Birds such as feral pigeons commonly choose to roost beneath panels due to the ideal harbourage away from the ground. On top of fouling and costly physical damage to the surface of the panels, their droppings, nests, eggs and carcasses will often lead to secondary infestation by flies, which can emerge regularly in high numbers in loft spaces, wall voids and from window frames or light fittings.
Banish provides a number of permanent and relatively inexpensive solutions, all involving clearance of fouling and cleaning and disinfection of the panels themselves and the roof beneath. We then install robust and aesthetically pleasing proofing measures such as mesh strips, netting or anti-roosting spikes to ensure pest birds are excluded and both your investment and your home are protected.
