Solar Panel Pest Protection – D&G Pest Contol

Expert Solar Panel Protection in Scunthorpe and Surrounding Areas

Solar panels are a fantastic investment—lowering energy bills and reducing your carbon footprint. But if squirrels, pigeons, or other pests decide to nest beneath them, your clean energy solution could turn into a costly headache. At D & G Pest Control in Scunthorpe, we specialise in protecting your solar panels from pest damage, ensuring your investment works as hard as it should for years to come.

Why Protecting Your Solar Panels is Essential

Solar panels create the perfect sheltered space for birds and rodents looking for warmth and safety. Unfortunately, these uninvited guests can cause serious problems. Pigeons and squirrels can:

Chew Electrical Wiring: Squirrels are known for gnawing through cables, which can damage your panels and lead to dangerous electrical faults.
Block Airflow: Nesting materials and droppings can block airflow, reducing panel efficiency and lifespan.
Create Fire Hazards: Accumulated nesting debris is highly flammable and can be a serious risk.
Increase Maintenance Costs: Pest-related damage often voids warranties and can result in expensive repairs or replacements.

Pest infestations not only reduce your solar panel performance—they can quickly become a health hazard to you and your family or impact your business’s reputation if you’re a commercial solar user.

Common Pests That Target Solar Panels

While pigeons are the most common culprits in urban and residential settings, squirrels and other small mammals are increasingly causing issues too:

Pigeons and Birds: They build nests under panels, causing droppings to accumulate which can damage roofing materials and reduce solar efficiency.
Squirrels and Rodents: These agile climbers can squeeze under panels, where they gnaw cables and insulation.
Insects and Wasps: In some cases, insects will also build nests in the gaps beneath solar panels.

At D & G Pest Control, we’ve seen first-hand how quickly these problems can escalate if left unchecked.

Our Proven Solar Panel Protection Solutions

We’re proud to offer a full range of solar panel pest-proofing services, designed to keep your panels safe and functional:

Inspection and Assessment: We start by carefully examining your panels and roof to identify any existing damage or pest activity.
Customised Proofing: Using specialist mesh and exclusion barriers, we seal off access points to prevent pests from nesting beneath your panels.
Humane Deterrents: Our solutions are designed to discourage pests without harming them, ensuring you’re environmentally responsible as well as protected.
Ongoing Support: If you’re in a high-risk area, we can provide ongoing inspections and maintenance to ensure pests don’t come back.

Our team works efficiently and discreetly, with minimal disruption to your home or business.

I highly recommend using this company! Glynn has been amazing; he came the very next day and started treatment. Issue with pests in my roof, and nothing was too much trouble. Just great to have him at the end of a phone call and he came when it was convenient to keep checking. Don’t look anywhere else!

Called Glyn on a Saturday night about a possible mouse problem in the loft. He came out Sunday morning, identified the issue and laid bait. He will come out as many times as it takes to rectify the issue. Excellent service and would definitely recommend. Many thanks Glyn
