Palo Alto's mature tree canopy and mild climate make it ideal habitat for pigeons, starlings, and house sparrows. These birds concentrate in residential areas where solar panels, tile roof overhangs, and decorative eaves provide protected nesting spaces. Once a colony is established on a property, the damage compounds — droppings are acidic, nesting material is a fire hazard, and the colony grows each season.
Pigeons under solar panels is the most common call we get in Palo Alto. They access the gap between the panel and roof surface, build nests, and establish a permanent roost. The droppings degrade wiring and panel frames. We install UV-stabilized wire mesh that closes the perimeter of the panel array without drilling into the panels themselves.
Open eaves, broken vent screens, and gaps in tile rooflines are access points for starlings and sparrows looking for nesting sites. We close these with hardware cloth and stainless wire rather than temporary foam or caulk, which birds remove within a season.

Walk the property, identify all active and potential entry points, assess species, estimate colony size. Quote based on what we find, not a flat rate.
Clear existing nests, droppings, and debris from affected areas before installing exclusion. Starting on a clean surface ensures the exclusion seals correctly.
Install appropriate exclusion product per location — wire mesh for solar panels, stainless spikes for ledges, hardware cloth for eave openings. Commercial-grade materials, not retail.
Close secondary entry points identified during assessment. Birds look for the next gap — we address those before they find them.
Walk the installation to confirm no gaps remain. Document before and after for the homeowner's records.

Wire mesh under solar panels, stainless spikes on ledges, hardware cloth for eave openings, and netting for larger gaps. We match the product to the problem — one solution doesn't fit all locations.
Yes. Nesting material and acidic droppings degrade wiring, panel frames, and roof material. The longer the colony is established, the more extensive the damage — and the harder it is to clear.
All products we use are exclusion and deterrent-based — no poisons, no traps, no killing. Spikes prevent landing without harming birds. Wire mesh closes access points without injuring animals already inside.
UV-stabilized wire under solar panels lasts 10+ years. Stainless spikes are essentially permanent. We use commercial-grade materials — not the retail spike strips that fail in 18 months.
