Critter Guard, Colorado Springs-Specific
Bird pressure is heavy across much of the Springs, especially on homes backing up to open space — and the shaded gap under a solar array is exactly the nesting spot pigeons want. Once they're in, droppings streak the panels and pile up underneath, and the wiring under there is fair game for chewing. It's one of the most common calls we get in the Springs, and it's the work we're known for here.
We treat it as a solar job, not just a pest job: clear out the nesting, seal the full array perimeter with mesh, and check the wiring while we're up there for damage that's already happened.
What We Handle
- Cleanout of existing nests — droppings and debris under the array
- Mesh fitted around the full array perimeter — built for Springs weather
- Wiring check for chew damage — while we're underneath
- Look at the rest of the system — connections and hardware while we're on the roof
Customer Reviews
"Where do I start? Amazing work. Great detail. No one else will service my solar panels, only this company! Great customer service. Goes the extra mile to make sure you are well taken care of."
"Cannot recommend this company enough! Nick came the same day I called and gave us a free estimate. He scheduled very quickly and was super efficient. Very communicative as well."
"These guys took care of the pigeon problem that had developed under my solar panels, cleaned my gutters, put up critter guard, and gave the panels a good cleaning. They charged me a fair price, provided excellent customer service, and were 100% transparent about the process."
FAQs About Critter Guard Installation in Colorado Springs
What Springs homeowners ask us most often about sealing their array.
-
I've tried owl decoys, foil strips, even ripping out nests. The pigeons keep coming back. What actually works?
Decoys don't fool roof pigeons for long. The only thing that works is sealing the gap they're nesting in. We pull out the existing nests and debris, clean the droppings, then run galvanized mesh around the perimeter of the array so they physically can't get back into the space underneath. Once the gap is closed they move on. -
Why is this such a big problem in the Springs?
Bird pressure is heavy across most of the city — Briargate, Powers Corridor, Cordera, Stetson Hills, Banning Lewis, anywhere near open space. The gap under solar panels is prime nesting territory. The longer it goes, the more cleanup and wire damage you end up with — a single squirrel can do $2,000+ in chewed-wire damage in 48 hours, and animal damage is explicitly excluded from every panel and inverter warranty we've seen. -
How much does critter guard cost in the Springs?
Most residential retrofits land between $1,400 and $2,000, depending on array size and roof access. Installing it at the same time as a new system is cheaper ($500-$1,500), but most people don't think to ask until birds show up. Retrofit is a 30-50% premium over at-install because it's a separate truck roll and sometimes partial panel removal. -
Will the mesh hurt my roof or void my panel warranty?
No. The mesh attaches around the array, not to the panel faces, and it doesn't drill into the roof deck — it clips to the existing rail. It doesn't interfere with panel or inverter manufacturer warranties. -
Do you clean up the nests and droppings during the install?
Yes — full nest removal, debris cleanup, and panel-face cleaning all included before the mesh goes on. -
My installer's out of business — can you still install critter guard?
Yes. Critter guard fits around the array regardless of brand or who installed it. The original company doesn't need to exist for us to seal your system off.
