Bird Proofing in Security-Widefield
Bird Proofing, Security-Widefield-Specific
Bird and squirrel pressure is real across Security-Widefield. Decoys, foil strips, and ripping out nests don't hold — roof pigeons figure out nothing's actually a threat, and squirrels come back through whatever gap the previous round left open. The only thing that works long-term is sealing the gap.
We pull out the existing nesting and droppings, clean the array faces, then run galvanized mesh around the perimeter so birds and squirrels physically can't get back into the space underneath. Once the gap is closed they move on. Animal damage is excluded from every panel and inverter warranty we've seen, which is why most Security-Widefield homeowners end up doing this once instead of paying for repeat cleanups and chewed-wire repairs.
What We Handle
- Nest, droppings, and debris removal — full under-array cleanout before the guard goes on
- Galvanized critter-guard mesh perimeter — fits around the array, not drilled into the roof deck
- Panel-face cleaning included — no extra cleaning call needed
- Wiring inspection while we're up there — anything chewed gets flagged
FAQs About Bird Proofing in Security-Widefield
What Security-Widefield homeowners ask us most often about bird proofing for their solar system.
-
Do you cover both Security and Widefield?
Yes — we treat the area as one service zone, the way locals do. Security side, Widefield Park area, Stratmoor, the Fort Carson edge — all covered. -
Decoys and foil strips didn't work. What actually stops the pigeons?
Roof pigeons figure out decoys aren't a real threat and ignore them. The only thing that works is sealing the gap they're nesting in. We pull the existing nests, clean the droppings, then run galvanized mesh around the perimeter of the array so they physically can't get back in. -
Is critter guard really worth the cost?
If you already have birds or squirrels under there, yes. A single squirrel can do $2,000+ of chewed-wire damage in 48 hours, and animal damage is excluded from every panel and inverter warranty we've seen. Mesh once is cheaper than repeat cleanups and rewiring. -
I'm active duty at Fort Carson. Will you work with my deployment schedule?
Yes — that's a big part of our Security-Widefield work. We schedule around deployments, work with spouses while you're away, can do scope walkthroughs by video if you're not on site. We're veteran-owned and used to military life logistics. -
My installer's out of business — Titan, Pink Energy, ADT, Sunnova. Can you still service?
Yes. We service every brand and every installation, including orphaned systems. Your panel and inverter manufacturer warranties usually still hold even if the installer is gone — we pick up the service side and help with whatever RMA paperwork is needed.
