Pigeon Control Adelaide
House Care Pest Control provides professional pigeon and solar panel proofing across North East Adelaide, including Modbury, Golden Grove, Athelstone, Campbelltown and surrounding suburbs. Our humane prevention first approach protects your home, solar system and roof space while keeping birds and local wildlife safe.
Pigeons nesting under solar panels can cause ongoing noise, mess and damage if left untreated. Pigeons nesting under solar panels can create health risks through droppings, parasites and bird mites, as well as causing noise, mess and damage.
Many clients have had their solar panels proofed, only to find pigeons still wreaking havoc. After years of continuous development, we’ve designed a complete, humane solution that keeps pigeons away for good, ensuring long-lasting protection for your home and solar investment.
Why pigeons choose solar panels
• Warm, sheltered space protected from weather
• Safe nesting area away from predators
• Easy access along roof edges and gutters
• Droppings and debris that attract insects and mites
Without proper proofing, pigeons often return to the same location year after year.
This is a common issue in North East Adelaide, particularly in homes with newer solar installations and tiled roofs.
Our solution focuses on complete removal and long term prevention. We remove nesting material, professionally clean the area and install a durable solar panel mesh system designed to stop re-entry. Cleaning is essential because scent and debris can attract birds back to the same location.
Our solar panel pigeon proofing includes
• Nest and debris removal
• Full cleaning under and around panels
• Heavy duty mesh installation
• Discreet, low-visibility finish
• 7-year workmanship warranty
No bird culling necessary, just a smart, eco-friendly solution that protects your home and solar investment. By keeping pigeons away, you’re also reducing the risk of rat infestations, as rodents often prey on nestlings, eggs, and sick birds.
It’s also common for us to identify bird mites when addressing pigeon infestations under solar panels. These tiny parasites can spread quickly and become a major nuisance, making proper cleaning and proofing essential.
PestShield clients receive 10% off additional prevention services, making it easier to protect your home year-round. Combining exterior pest prevention with roof and solar proofing provides stronger long term protection for Adelaide homes.
Common Pigeons questions
How do you stop pigeons under solar panels?
Stainless mesh proofing around the panel edges, plus cleaning and nest removal — a permanent, humane fix.
Is pigeon proofing humane?
Yes — it's exclusion and deterrence, not harm.
Do you clean up the mess and droppings too?
Yes — clean-down is part of the job, which also removes the health risk droppings carry.
Do fake owls or spikes actually stop pigeons?
Not for long, in my experience. They quickly work out a fake predator isn't moving at all and spikes just mean nesting a little further along. These quick fixes rarely solve the problem because they don't block access to the actual nesting spot, which is what real proofing does.
