Solar panel bird proofing in Edinburgh

Edinburgh has a large feral pigeon population, and as more homes add solar panels, more pigeons are nesting underneath them. We proof panels on houses and bungalows across the city – from newer estates in the west and south of Edinburgh to homes in Corstorphine, Liberton and Colinton – as well as on school and commercial roofs.

Why Edinburgh pigeons love solar panels

A warm, sheltered space out of the wind and rain
Safe from predators such as gulls and crows
Plenty of food on nearby streets, in gardens and around bins

Our Edinburgh service

We inspect the roof, check for active nests, clear out nests and droppings where the law allows, clip mesh around the array – with no drilling or damage to your panels – and tidy up fouling from the roof and gutters. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.

Areas we cover

Every part of Edinburgh, including Portobello, Stockbridge, Morningside and South Queensferry.

Excellent service from Kyle today. Came within an hour of my phone call and dealt with a wasps nest quickly and efficiently. A very pleasant, friendly young man. Thoroughly recommend using this business.

Karen M.

Kyle came out same day we called about a rat problem in our kitchen, he was very helpful and knowledgeable and professional in removing the rats and returned 2 weeks later to check everything again but they were all gone within a few days like he said. Thank you very much would highly recommend pestagon.

Nicola W.

The call-out time was incredible and Kyle was very professional and informative, had our mouse problem sorted in two visits. Great at what he does and such a nice boy. Will definitely be using this company again!

Colleen

Pestagon came to fit pigeon netting above our bay window. The service was friendly, professional, and Kyle made the whole process straightforward. Would definitely recommend

Jonathan H.

Good communication, always on time, identified issue straight away, gave sound advice and explained what methods he was using and why, then effectively proofed the entry point (rat!) Kyle was polite and friendly throughout. Would recommend and would certainly use again!

Mairi

Call to Kyle late morning. We had found a wasp nest in the eve of our extension. He came out that evening and treated the area. Arrived on time and all his work is guaranteed. Highly recommend. Thank you for prompt service
