Introduction

Using drones to protect your Solar panels provide excellent energy savings and help reduce your carbon footprint, but they come with unique pest control challenges. Pigeons and other birds love nesting under panels for shelter and warmth, causing significant damage to your investment and the structure of your roof.

At Shire Pest Solutions in Didcot, we prioritise innovative methods to serve customers. Our latest solution involves using drones to inspect bird-proofing around solar panels. This technology lets us quickly and efficiently check for potential issues, helping keep panels and properties pest-free. In this blog, we’ll explore how we use drones to protect your solar panels and for pest control inspections by identifying damage to bird-proofing around solar panels and protecting your property from pest problems.

Why Bird Proofing Solar Panels Is Essential

Without effective protection, pigeons, doves, and other birds can easily nest under solar panels. Nesting doesn’t just cause minor inconveniences; it leads to several serious issues. Birds damage wiring, scratch or displace panels, and leave droppings that reduce panel efficiency and lifespan.

More concerningly, birds can get trapped under panels when bird-proofing fails. Once trapped, they often can’t escape, leading to unfortunate deaths. These carcasses become breeding grounds for maggots and other pests. A single dead bird attracts multiple secondary pests, potentially compromising the cleanliness and safety of your property.

At Shire Pest Solutions, we understand the importance of clean, safe, bird-free solar panels. We specialise in high-quality bird-proofing around solar panels, and our new drone inspection service ensures ongoing protection.

How Shire Pest Solutions Uses Drones for Bird-Proofing Inspections

Inspecting bird-proofing around solar panels used to require time-consuming, costly, and risky manual checks. Often, these inspections needed special equipment or scaffolding, raising the costs and duration.

Drones now allow us to assess bird-proofing around solar panels without extra equipment or hazards. Our drones provide full-angle views, making sure we don’t miss any access points for birds.

The drones capture high-quality footage and images of your solar panels and surroundings, enabling our experts to identify any issues. With this data, we quickly locate damaged areas—whether from storms, wear, or other factors—and create an action plan to restore full protection.

Benefits of Drone Inspections for Solar Panel Bird Proofing

Using drones for bird-proofing inspections provides several advantages:

• Speed and Efficiency: Drone inspections happen much faster than traditional methods, letting us cover larger areas quickly.
• Cost Savings: With no need for scaffolding or safety equipment, drone inspections usually cost less for homeowners and businesses.
• Enhanced Accuracy: High-definition drone footage ensures we identify all potential entry points.
• Safety: By using drones, we reduce technicians’ need to climb on roofs, minimising potential hazards.
• Environmentally Friendly: Fewer visits and less equipment reduce our carbon footprint, supporting our eco-friendly pest control approach.

Spotting Damage Before It’s Too Late

Regular maintenance ensures bird-proofing stays effective, even the best installations wear over time due to weather, nesting attempts, or simple aging. Regular inspections catch damage early, preventing birds from nesting again and causing problems.

When pigeons or other birds get under solar panels, they can become trapped, unable to escape. This situation harms the animals and creates problems for homeowners. Dead birds under panels attract maggots and other pests that feed on the remains, turning your roof into a pest breeding ground. From maggots, infestations can escalate to flies and other secondary pests, creating a cascade of pest issues.

Through proactive drone inspections, Shire Pest Solutions prevents these issues from arising. We help homeowners avoid unpleasant sights, smells, and hygiene risks associated with dead birds and infestations.
