Solar Panel Critter Guard in Markham, IL

A quiet fix for cooing, scratching and leaf piles under your solar. Clipped on, never drilled.

Cooing Overhead? It Is Probably Coming From Under the Solar.

The gap under rooftop solar is shady, dry and out of reach. Pigeons love it for nests. Squirrels love it for hiding and, now and then, for gnawing on wires. Leaves blow in and pile up, keeping the shingles damp. Usually the first clue is noise, droppings or a bird flying out from under the edge. A critter guard settles it. It is a mesh border fitted around the outside of your solar and fastened with clips, so the modules are never drilled. Solar Panel Removal Markham puts critter guard on by itself or as the last step of a detach and reset. That last step is a lovely time to do it, since the solar is already being worked on and the gap underneath is wide open. If birds have already settled in, the nests and leaves are cleared out first, so nothing ends up shut inside. In Markham and the towns nearby, pigeons are the usual reason we hear from homeowners. No matter the animal, the answer stays the same. Empty the gap. Close the border. Keep it closed.

What a Critter Guard Visit Covers

Simple. Tidy. Done with care.

  • A walk around the border

    We check the whole outside edge for openings and nesting signs.

  • Nests and leaves removed

    The gap is emptied before any mesh goes on.

  • Clipped mesh

    The border is fastened with clips. Modules stay undrilled.

  • Snug corners

    Joins and corners closed so nothing can wriggle back in.

  • Part of a reset

    Simple to add as the closing step of a detach and reset.

How the Mesh Goes On

  1. Describe what you notice

    Cooing, scratching, droppings or leaves, plus roughly how many modules. A firm figure comes back by phone, usually within 48 hours.

  2. Empty the gap

    On the day, whatever has collected under the edge is cleared away.

  3. Close the border

    Mesh is clipped all the way around, with corners and joins snug.

Why Homeowners Let Us Close the Gap

  • Modules stay untouched

    Clips hold the mesh, so nothing is drilled into your solar.

  • Emptied, then closed

    No old nests or leaves are left trapped inside.

  • Easy alongside a reroof

    If your solar is coming down for new shingles anyway, it slots right in.

  • Clipped, not drilled
  • Gap emptied
  • Whole border
  • Snug joins
