Bird Proofing in Los Angeles, CA

Exclusion is the only fix that lasts: the gap under the array gets closed off with mesh so birds physically cannot get back in. Fake owls, spikes on the panels and sound devices usually stop working within a few weeks because pigeons learn they are harmless. We remove the nests, clean the area, then clip mesh around the full perimeter of the array so the colony moves on for good.

Most single-family homes in Los Angeles land between about 500 and 1,500 dollars, depending on how many panels you have, the roof height and pitch, and how much nesting mess has to be cleared out first. A free quote with a couple of roof photos gets you an exact number.

No. The mesh attaches to the edge of the panel frames with fitted clips, so nothing is drilled, glued or screwed into the panels or the racking. The array is untouched, and the mesh unclips if a panel ever needs service.

Droppings are acidic and bake onto the glass in the LA sun, shading cells and cutting output, while nesting debris packs into the gap underneath, traps heat and sits against the wiring. Add the mites that travel with nests and the mess running down the roof, and a colony under an array is a real maintenance problem, not just noise.

The stainless and UV-stable mesh we install is a one-time job that typically lasts 10 years or more in the LA sun. There is nothing to re-bait or reset, because it works by keeping the space physically closed off.

Yes, we proof solar arrays and roofs across Pasadena, Altadena, Arcadia, Sierra Madre and the wider San Gabriel Valley, plus the rest of LA County. We are based in Sierra Madre, and we can clean the panels on the same visit.
