Pigeons and other animals have decided that the tight space between your roof and solar panels is the perfect spot under which to build their nests. Perfect for them, but a royal mess for the homeowner. Installing solar panel bird guards is a simple and effective solution, a humane method of preventing pigeons and other animals from invading our homes.
