Animal Control NYC Solar Panel Rodent Guards in Brooklyn Heights, NY
Rooftop solar panels are elevated from a roof by a few inches, creating a space beneath that is warm and protected from wind, rain, snow, and predators. And that opens up opportunities for wildlife to begin to nest underneath it. For many animals such as mice, pigeons, chipmunks, squirrels, sparrows and other types of wildlife animals, this is the perfect location to build a nest. Once the animals get comfortable under these panels, they become more likely to scratch, claw, and otherwise damage the panels in ways that are expensive and irreversible. Call Animal Control NYC 646-741-4333 today to inspect your solar panels, Animal Control NYC does commercial and residential rooftops in Brooklyn Heights, NY.
Droppings on panels from the birds can block sunlight and decrease the amount of collectable energy. In addition, animal droppings anywhere around your panels can harbor bacteria, attract pests, and cause staining or deterioration. As well as being acidic, which can damage your solar panel glass shield over time. It is best to take care of the wildlife before the damage worsenes.
If you already have wildlife such as mice, pigeons, chipmunks, squirrels, sparrows and other types of wildlife animals nesting underneath your solar panels, it can possibly attract natural predators that feed on pigeons and small birds. As the nest grows so does the food source for larger predators. If the pigeon is sitting on your solar panel and an owl or hawk swoops in to get the pigeon it can heavily damage your solar panel glass with it’s sharp claws and peak.
Animal Control NYC offers SolaTrim for larger rodents such as opossums, squirrels and raccoons, and our high-quality mesh for smaller critters like mice, rats, and chipmunks. For bird prevention methods we use stainless steel spikes in variable measurements, bird spikes make it harder for a bird to land on a surface. We install the spikes around the solar array’s framing to help prevent birds from landing on, and potentially scratching, the panels.
