Animal Control NYC Solar Panel Protection Against Wildlife in Crown 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, squirrels, raccoons, pigeons, sparrows and other kinds of wildlife pests, 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 Crown 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, squirrels, raccoons, pigeons, sparrows and other kinds of wildlife pests nesting underneath your solar panels, it can possibly attract natural predators that feed on pigeons and small birds.
