Year-Round Protection for Your Gutters
In addition to our bird-protection solutions for solar panels, we also offer bird mesh installation solutions in the form of gutter guards that are not only bird-proof but also provide reliable protection from leaves, twigs, and other debris. By keeping your gutters clear, these guards help prevent blockages, water overflow, and potential damage to your roof and walls. Professionally installed and built to last, our gutter guards provide you with peace of mind, reduce maintenance, and ensure your gutters continue to function efficiently year-round, regardless of the weather.
Our 3 Step Pigeon Proofing Installation Process
Keeping pigeons and other birds away from your gutters and solar panels doesn’t have to be complicated. At BD Gutter Guards, we’ve developed a simple yet highly effective three-step bird-proofing installation process that ensures your property stays bird-free, your gutters stay clear, and your solar panels remain clean and efficient.
Inspection & Assessment:
We begin by inspecting your gutters and the areas under and around your solar panels to identify where pigeons are roosting, nesting, or could gain access.
Cleaning & Preparation:
We thoroughly clean gutters and the spaces under and around your solar panels, removing nests, droppings, and debris. This ensures a clean and safe surface for the pigeon-proofing installation, preventing further blockages or damage.
Installation:
Finally, we install discreet, professional bird-proofing solutions designed for gutters and solar panel areas. This includes mesh barriers that prevent pigeons from accessing or nesting in specific areas.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if birds are already nesting in my roof?
It’s important that you don’t remove any active nests, as this can cause great distress to the parent birds and their chicks. Instead, wait until nesting season is over or the nest is abandoned, monitoring from a distance to ensure the birds have left safely, and then remove or clean the area only when it is legal and safe to do so.
If you’re unsure, we recommend contacting your local RSPCA for guidance on safe removal and to ensure compliance with wildlife protection laws.
Is it illegal to remove a bird's nest from my roof?
In Queensland, it’s illegal to remove or disturb a bird’s nest that’s being actively used, meaning there are eggs, chicks, or parent birds coming and going. If the nest has been abandoned, or if the birds are only starting to build it and no eggs have been laid yet, it’s generally okay to remove it.
Ethically, it is generally recommended to take preventative measures, such as bird-proofing, which deters birds from nesting, rather than waiting until they’ve settled and then needing to remove them later.
Are bird-proofing measures harmful to birds?
When installed correctly, bird-proofing measures are not harmful to birds. They are designed to deter birds from nesting or roosting in certain areas without causing injury, encouraging them to find safer, more suitable locations instead.
Our solar panel mesh and gutter guards provide a humane and effective way to protect your property from birds, keeping them safe while preventing nests from forming in hard-to-reach areas.
